The Titan Isopod (Porcellio hoffmannseggii) is one of the largest woodlice in the world; found on the Iberian Peninsula it is tolerant of a wide range of temperatures and humidity levels. Their hardy and adaptable nature makes them easy to care for and an excellent beginner species; and great as a custodian in many different setups. Their impressive size and ease of care. makes them a great pet isopod.
A number of cultivated colour phases exist of this species including orange animals. This is the rarest form; an all white animal that is often referred to as the ‘Yeti’.
This species is also quite drought tolerant compared to many other isopod species on the market; making them a good candidate as clean-up-crew for slightly more arid environments. If keeping them in a drier setup add a deeper sand/soil substrate and a couple of more humid areas to act as a moist refugium.
