Description: 10+ Porcellio ornatus High Yellow Isopods 10 (plus extra) Porcellio ornatus High Yellow Isopods. These isopods are members of the 'giant porcellio' club, capable of growing over an inch long! They are very active and not shy at all; you'll definitely see them scurrying around, making them a wonderful display isopod with their bright black and yellow patterning. These isopods like to climb, so sticks, bark, and egg cartons are a welcome addition to their enclosure. They enjoy protein in addition to substrate and leaf litter, such as fish flakes or dried shrimp, and they require a calcium source like cuttlebone or oyster shell. They require typical temperate pod care, with a mossy humid side and a drier side with hides and leaf litter in between; keep them like scabers or laevis and they'll do just fine. Interestingly, these isopods seem to exhibit maternal care! In my colony, new moms have been seen guarding small nests of mancae for up to a week, gathering food and bringing it to the babies. They'll even chase off other pods if they get too close! Isopods ship on Mondays and Tuesdays to prevent getting stuck in the mail system over the weekend!
