Porcellio laevis "Orange" are diurnal and easy to keep isopods. They serve as ground police (especially in combination with springtails). But they are also a good source of calcareous food for reptiles and amphibians. Porcellio laevis "orange" have a flat, broad body that is orange, only the legs of the woodlice are white. As a soil substrate, we recommend a mixture of white rotten wood, terrarium soil, deciduous forest humus and leaves.
Moss, pieces of bark or pieces of cork can be placed on the substrate, as can leaves.
