⚠️ 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 pruinosus ‘Powder Blue’ is one of the most popular morphs of P. pruinosus , named for its striking soft blue colouration. Colonies appear lively and bright, making them an attractive option for both functional and ornamental setups.

Like all P. pruinosus , the ‘Powder Blue’ is hardy, fast-breeding, and highly adaptable. They thrive in enclosures with good ventilation, a clear moisture gradient, and a steady supply of leaf litter and decaying wood. Colonies reproduce rapidly, quickly establishing a thriving population that is both active and fascinating to observe.

Thanks to their forgiving care needs and distinctive appearance, the ‘Powder Blue’ Porcellio pruinosus is ideal for beginners starting their first colony, as well as seasoned keepers looking for a reliable, colourful addition to their isopod collection.
