Description

The Porcellio hassai is a hardy Mediterranean isopod species, known for its subtle sandy-grey to brown colouration and robust body structure. Adapted to semi-arid environments, it makes an excellent choice for drier-style terrariums or for keepers who want a species that thrives with a strong moisture gradient.

They thrive in enclosures with excellent ventilation, a dry zone alongside a humid retreat, and a steady supply of leaf litter and decaying wood. Colonies breed steadily in captivity and establish well, making them easy to maintain over time.

With their resilience, adaptability, and steady breeding, the Porcellio hassai is a reliable choice for beginners while still offering interest for experienced collectors of Mediterranean isopods.
