Porcellio Laevis - Giant Orange Isopods

Porcellio Laevis 'Giant Orange', commonly known as the Giant Orange Isopod, is a bold and eye-catching colour morph of the classic Porcellio Laevis. Displaying a rich, uniform orange colouration across their large frames, these isopods are a striking and practical addition to any bioactive vivarium.

One of the larger isopod species available in the hobby, Giant Oranges are fast-moving, hardy, and prolific breeders. Their size makes them particularly effective at processing waste in larger enclosures, and their vivid colouration makes them a pleasure to observe. A great choice for beginners and experienced keepers alike.
