Orange Laevis (Porcellio laevis)
Porcellio laevis "Orange" Isopod Care Guide
Porcellio laevis "Orange" is a bright and beautiful morph of Porcellio laevis, known for its bold orange coloration and fast breeding. Like other laevis morphs, it is hardy, beginner-friendly, and perfect for bioactive setups or vibrant display colonies.
Enclosure:
Provide a well-ventilated container with a substrate of flake soil, sphagnum moss, and plenty of leaf litter. Include cork bark and bark flats for hiding and surface activity. This species enjoys active foraging and benefits from a spacious environment.
Temperature & Humidity:
Maintain temperatures between 70-78°F. "Orange Laevis" prefers moderate humidity (60-70%) with a moisture gradient—one side moist, one side drier. Good airflow keeps the enclosure healthy.
Feeding:
Feed a staple of decaying leaf litter and soft hardwoods. Supplement with isopod diet, fish flakes, shrimp pellets, and fresh vegetables or fruit. Protein boosts growth and supports fast breeding.
Behavior:
"Orange Laevis" isopods are bold, very active, and prolific breeders. They are highly adaptable, making them excellent for bioactive vivariums, cleanup crews, or for hobbyists looking for a striking display species.
