Porcellio scaber "Lemonade" morph

 Porcellio scaber "Lemonade" morph These isopods, like much of the porcellio scaber species like a distinct gradient in their enclosures. By this we mean that on the dryer side, they prefer almost bone dry substrate and in the middle they prefer damp substrate/ leaves then on the moist/ humid side they seem to like their moss moist at all times.

 These are a surface active species that likes to roam around once their numbers are up. They have beautiful coloring and patterns that vary from yellow with mottling to orange and even brown with speckles. It's always fun to open our bin and see which new color combinations we can find! We have fed the Lemonades a. varied diet rich in calcium, protein and vegetation. They seem to really like dried mealworms, bee pollen and zucchini.
