Flowery Blue Isopods Porcellionides floria Care

Flowery Blue Isopods Porcellionides floria Porcellionides floria are a fast growing, fast breeding isopod that will rapidly fill their enclosure with young.

The isopod varieties I’ve acquired recently and haven’t posted yet!

Top Row: Porcellio scaber ‘Dalmation’, Little Sea Roly Poly (Cubaris murina) Second Row: Porcellio scaber, Cylisticus convexus Third Row: Dwarf Striped Isopod, Porcellio scaber ‘Calico’  Bottom: Orange cultivar Powder Blue (Porcellionides priunosus ‘Orange’)

The C. convexus and Orange Powder Blues were acquired through a trade; I also got Atlantoscia floridana, the Florida fast isopod. They are impossible to photograph, though, they’re so fast. The C. convexus aren’t slowpokes either.

The Calico Rough Isopods and the Dwarf Striped Isopods were purchased online from Bugs in Cyberspace.

The Little Sea Roly Polies, Rough Isopods, and Dalmation Rough Isopods came from vendors at the Portland Reptile Expo. Unfortunately the Rough Isopods were sold to me as Flowery Blues. Ah well, at least I didn’t have any wild morph Roughs yet.
