$2 per isopod
No set pack size. A new colony usually does better with several animals than with one.
Open a label for the note on this listing. Brood counts are not taken from a census of these bins.
Habitat
Giant Canyon is Porcellio dilatatus, a large Porcellio. Give depth, bark slabs, a damp end, and plenty of ventilation. They use floor space. A tiny cup will stay too wet and too crowded.
Diet
Leaves and wood, plus more protein than a roller usually wants. Calcium should be easy to find. Clear uneaten food the next day.
Breeding
A roomy, fed colony can grow well. Babies hide under the bark, so lift a piece rather than judging the surface. No exact brood count is kept here.
A good fit
A good large beginner-to-intermediate Porcellio, including keepers who want size without Cubaris humidity. Plan for a bigger bin than a powder culture.
