Care Notes
Suggest an improvementLike other P. laevis, the "orange" variety are hardy and can still thrive under slightly more arid or humid environments, making them great beginner isopods. They are relatively surface active and moderately protein-aggressive, making them ill-fit for use in terrariums with other invertebrates or reptiles as they may bite their tank-mates.
Footnotes / Sources
Suggest a source updateP. laevis tend to opt for protein food sources over vegetables.
