Description

The Porcellio silvestrii is a small and hardy isopod species, well-suited for bioactive terrariums as well as standalone colonies. Subtle in appearance, they are typically grey-brown with a compact body structure, making them excellent background workers in naturalistic enclosures.

This species thrives in moderately dry conditions with a moisture gradient, access to leaf litter, and decaying wood. Colonies breed steadily and establish quickly, making them a reliable cleanup crew while still interesting to observe in larger groups.

With their resilience, fast breeding, and adaptability, the Porcellio silvestrii is a great choice for beginners or anyone looking to add an efficient, easy-care species to their isopod collection.
