Description

The Porcellio werneri is a rare and highly sought-after Mediterranean isopod species, endemic to Crete. With its broad body, distinctive sculpting, and subtle earthy colouration, this species has a unique look that sets it apart from other Porcellio. Its restricted distribution and unusual appearance make it especially prized among advanced collectors.

They thrive in enclosures with excellent airflow, a defined moisture gradient, and a deep, nutrient-rich substrate. A constant supply of leaf litter, rotting wood, and supplemental calcium is essential for long-term success. Colonies establish slowly and breed at a more measured pace compared to common Porcellio species, rewarding patient keepers with stable, long-lived groups.

With their rarity, distinctive body shape, and Cretan origins, the Porcellio werneri is best suited for intermediate to advanced keepers looking to add one of the most unusual Mediterranean Porcellio to their collection.
