Description

The Porcellio violaceus ‘Rubivan’ is a striking morph of P. violaceus , showcasing deep violet tones blended with lighter shades and sometimes reddish highlights. This locality/morph is highly sought after for its bold and unusual colouration compared to the standard form.

They thrive in enclosures with good airflow, a defined moisture gradient (humid retreat with drier zones), and a nutrient-rich substrate containing plenty of leaf litter and decaying wood. Colonies reproduce steadily once established, rewarding patient keepers with hardy and visually striking groups.

With their rich violet colouration and Iberian origins, the ‘Rubivan’ Porcellio violaceus is an excellent choice for collectors who appreciate locality forms and striking natural hues.
