⚠️ Shipping Update – Heatwave Delays

Due to the ongoing UK heatwave, we've temporarily paused shipping of all live livestock and plants to ensure they arrive safely.

The good news is that temperatures are forecast to drop significantly next week, and we'll be resuming dispatches.

Current dispatch schedule:

  • Orders placed 29th June – 5th July: Dispatching Monday.
  • Orders placed 6th July – 12th July: Dispatching Tuesday & Wednesday.
  • New orders placed from today: Dispatching from 27th July.

We've built up a large backlog during the heatwave, so we're bringing in additional staff and implementing a new workflow to get orders out as quickly as possible.

We sincerely apologise for the delay and thank you for your patience. The welfare of our livestock and plants will always come first.

If you would prefer not to wait, we're happy to offer a full refund. Simply get in touch and we'll arrange this for you.

Thank you for your understanding,

Adam & the MicroExotics Team

Description

The Porcellio bolivari is a hardy and attractive Mediterranean isopod species. Typically sandy-grey to brown in colour, they feature a smooth body structure that allows them to thrive in drier environments compared to many tropical isopods.

They prefer enclosures with a clear moisture gradient, good ventilation, and access to plenty of leaf litter and decaying wood. Colonies breed steadily and establish well, making them a reliable choice for bioactive enclosures as well as standalone colonies.

With their resilience, adaptability, and ease of care, the Porcellio bolivari is an excellent species for beginners while still offering interest for experienced collectors who enjoy Mediterranean isopods.
