Description

The Porcellio echinatus is a small but fascinating isopod species, recognised for its grey, slightly bumpy appearance that sets it apart from smoother-bodied Porcellio. Though subtle in colour, its unique texture makes it an interesting addition to terrariums and collections.

This species thrives in drier, Mediterranean-style enclosures with a clear moisture gradient, good airflow, and plenty of leaf litter and decaying wood. Colonies reproduce steadily and establish quickly, making them ideal for both functional bioactive setups and decorative colonies.

With their hardy nature, compact size, and steady breeding rate, the Porcellio echinatus is a great option for keepers of all levels, especially those setting up smaller or arid terrariums.
