Large Gray Isopods (Porcellio laevis) are active, easy-to-keep isopods that make an excellent addition to any bioactive clean-up crew. They are also a great alternative to Giant Canyon Isopods, which are not permitted in some states. Large Grays reproduce quickly, tolerate a wide range of environments, and are not picky eaters. Note: they do not get as large as Milkback or Dairy Cow isopods. We provide all Laevis with cuttlebone for calcium and supplemental feed them carrots, zucchini, squash, dried fish and shrimp, and fish food flakes.Best for: Bioactive vivariums, reptile and amphibian enclosures, Giant Canyon isopod alternative, beginner isopod keepersFor care guides and tips, visit our blog and YouTube channel.*DOES NOT SHIP TO LOUISIANAPlease see shipping details for shipping cost information and live arrival guarantee.Isopods will be shipped in a container of organic peat moss, sphagnum moss, and organic leaf litter.A thick layer of leaf litter at all times is the key to a thriving isopod colony.Skill level: Beginner isopodHumidity: Tolerates humid and arid environmentsBreeding: Fast breeder that breeds easily
