Isopod Types
"Big Pine Key" Isopod (cf. Porcellio laevis / Porcellionides sp. "Big Pine Key")
  •  A dazzling, color-shifting rainbow lottery from a sun-drenched Florida paradise.
  •  “First discovered by Alan Jeon while searching through limestone slabs in Big Pine Key (Florida, USA)...” --. This unique native is a stunning gem in the hobby. “...they're probably one of the most variable and highly patterned isopods native to the United States.” --Rather than just one uniform color, a single colony puts on a spectacular visual show: “The isopods... can range in colors from: Orange, Red, Purple, Mossy green, [and] High yellow patterns on a soft purple body.” -- They are sleek, exceptionally fast-moving, and incredibly active out in the open. For keepers who want an unforgettable, heavily patterned display that looks like an assortment of tropical candies, this Florida native is a top-tier choice.
  • Best Suited For: Visual display enclosures, intermediate collectors who love genetic color variation, and macro-photography enthusiasts.
  • Quick Care: “...this species... Moist side: 50% of surface area - Dry side: 50% of surface area.” Replicate their limestone-island origins by providing a distinct, sharp moisture gradient and excellent cross-ventilation. “They eat yams or any root vegetables and fish food.”  Keep their habitat stocked with decaying hardwood leaves, a steady protein source to satisfy their active lifestyle, and plenty of calcium to ensure smooth, successful molting.
