Description
Giant Orange Woodlice (Porcellio sp.) are one of the larger species of isopod commonly used as terrarium custodians or 'clean-up crew' and live and breed well in bio-active set-ups. As adults, they may attain a length of up to 18mm long. Giant Orange Woodlice are also useful as a livefood for many reptiles and amphibians and have the advantage of a high calcium content due to their calcarious exo-skeleton.
If they are to be used as food, they are best served up in a smooth-sided dish in much the same way as mealworms or calci-worms. To thrive and become established in the terrarium, they need to be in a constantly damp and humid microclimate which normally means that they hide away for much of the time under branches, rocks or within the substrate.
They are supplied in tubs as a starter culture of various sizes.

Always get my reptile products from here, last I brought the giant orange woodlice to aid my clean up crew. Can't go wrong with this place. Once you shop Internet reptile, you'll never shop anywhere else. Quick and easy shopping.
