CARE AT A GLANCE

Keeper level:
advanced
Climate:
Semi-arid

An isopod built for the underworld. The Duboscqui Troglophila (Porcellio duboscqui troglophila) is a cave associated form of Porcellio, native to North Africa and the Mediterranean, with a pale, ghostly look that hints at a life spent away from the light. It brings something genuinely different to any Isopod King collection.

This is a semi-arid species that wants a drier setup with good airflow. Keep the enclosure around 68 to 78F and 45 to 65% humidity, with a dry-leaning substrate and extra calcium on hand, as this form leans toward higher calcium needs.

  • Rare cave associated Porcellio form
  • Pale, distinctive look unlike common Porcellio morphs
  • Thrives in a dry, well ventilated semi-arid enclosure
  • A striking addition for the experienced Keeper's collection

Covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee.
