Common Name: Powder Blue Isopod

Scientific Name: Porcellionides Pruinosus â€œPowder Blueâ€

Culture Size: 15 Specimens

A very forgiving species this is one of the best beginner isopods out there. They grow quickly, produce year round and they have a large number of mancae at one time. This species is commonly used as a feeder item for a variety of lizards and arachnid species. They also make a great addition to bioactive enclosures. Powder Blues will bury in the substrate, run through leaf litter, run on top of leaf litter, and even climb branches within their enclosures. This species is highly interactive with one another and when they eat they tend to grab their share of the food and run around with it in their mouths. A rather entertaining species to observe.
