Lemonade (Porcellio scaber)
Porcellio scaber "Lemonade" Isopod Care Guide
Porcellio scaber "Lemonade" is a cheerful and vibrant morph of Porcellio scaber, known for its bright yellow and pale tones. Like other scaber types, it is very hardy, beginner-friendly, and a great choice for both display colonies and bioactive setups.
Enclosure:
Provide a well-ventilated container with a substrate of flake soil, sphagnum moss, and plenty of leaf litter. Include cork bark and bark pieces for hiding and surface activity. This species is active and enjoys foraging across the enclosure.
Temperature & Humidity:
Maintain temperatures between 70-78°F. "Lemonade" prefers moderate humidity (60-70%) with a moisture gradient—moist on one side and drier on the other. Adequate airflow is important to maintain a healthy environment.
Feeding:
Feed a base of decaying leaf litter and soft hardwoods. Supplement regularly with isopod diet, fish flakes, shrimp pellets, and fresh vegetables or fruit. Occasional protein helps boost breeding and supports vibrant coloration.
Behavior:
"Lemonade" isopods are bold, fast breeders, and highly active. They adapt well to a variety of conditions and are excellent for bioactive tanks or for hobbyists looking to add a bright, colorful display species to their collection.
