Size that commands attention. Titan isopods (Porcellio hoffmannseggii) are among the largest isopods kept in the hobby, native to the Iberian Peninsula and built with a heavy, armored look to match their size. They are a genuine centerpiece species in any display enclosure.
This species leans drier than many isopods and needs a very high calcium supply to support its large size and molts. It suits keepers who already have some experience dialing in humidity and substrate, rather than a first colony.
- One of the largest isopod species in the hobby
- Bold, heavily armored appearance
- Prefers a drier setup with very high calcium
- Best suited to keepers with some experience
