Porcellionides Pruinosus 'Orange Cream'
Porcellionides Pruinosus 'Orange Cream' is a visually stunning isopod species known for its unique orange and cream coloration. This eye-catching species features a creamy orange hue with soft, powdery texture that adds a touch of elegance to any bioactive vivarium. Alongside its vibrant appearance, 'Orange Cream' contributes to the decomposition of organic matter, promoting soil health and a balanced ecosystem.
Care
Lighting Requirement:
Porcellionides Pruinosus 'Orange Cream' prefers low to moderate light conditions. Mimic their natural habitat with a shaded or dimly lit environment to prevent stress and dehydration. Avoid direct, intense light.
Moisture & Humidity:
Maintain high humidity levels, ideally between 70-85%. Keep the substrate consistently moist but well-draining to prevent waterlogging. Regular misting and providing areas with varying moisture levels will help the isopods regulate their hydration effectively.
Temperature Requirement:
Optimal temperatures for this species range from 68-78°F (20-26°C). Ensure temperatures do not fall below 60°F (16°C) to keep the isopods active and healthy.
Feeding:
Porcellionides Pruinosus 'Orange Cream' feeds on decaying plant matter, such as leaf litter and rotting wood. Provide calcium sources like cuttlebone to support healthy exoskeleton development and overall well-being
Key Points
Fast Reproductive Rate, Arid Environment, Small in Size, Non-Burrowing
