Porcellio Laevis "Dairy Cow" Isopods

Porcellio laevis 'Dairy Cow' are a hardy species of isopod and produce quickly once established. Dairy Cow Isopods are large (~2 cm), active, and have a neat white and black speckled pattern. They are a larger, fast reproducing isopod. If you're looking to keep these isopods outside of a vivarium, we'd recommend keeping them on our Isopod Substrate, or even better using our Isopod Culturing Kit. Josh's Frogs MilliMix substrate is also a fantastic option.

In rare cases, starving isopods may attempt to consume the carapace of freshly molted invertebrates or even gnaw on small or delicate reptiles or amphibians. We strongly recommend providing supplemental food to your clean up crew in the enclosure, such as Josh's Frogs CUC Cuisine. When in doubt, using dwarf species of isopods, such as Dwarf Tropical Whites, may be a safer option.
