Luecistic P. Scaber

[LittleOddIsopod]

Apparently one of the wild P. Scaber I caught had some interesting genetics. It’s been 1.5 months since I caught them. When I was looking through their habitat I found 3 luecistic individuals. I assume they are nothing new, since there are dozens of P. Scaber morphs on the market, but they are pretty cool regardless!

That's a great find, I'm sure some of the more learned members can school you on just how rare that is or not but I would defo isolate those out and try to breed from them

Huh, I actually have yet to see all white P.scaber with black eyes, neat morph, definitely something worth isolating!

That is a very interesting morph, similar to the whiteout morph, but with black eyes...leucism seems likely. Excellent find, you seem to have a knack for finding interesting morphs, please keep them coming!

Very nice find, keep up the good work. I have a colony of P. Pruinosus "white out" that I am building. These would be a great addition when you get them established.

Yep, I go by TJ Ombrelle on FB.

Wow, I've never seen "White out" Porcellionides before, those are amazing looking! I'd love to trade for them some time, do you have any interest in Oniscus asellus "Mardi Gras Dalmatian"?

Do you have an Instagram? Or could you show me some of your isopods on the forum? I’d love to see what you’ve got!

I have Mardi Gras but they have not produced any offspring for me yet. I received them very young so they may not be ready yet. They are my 1st culture of Oniscus Asellus so i am not very experienced with the species. I could definately use more of them though.

Ah that's cool, where'd you get yours from? Glad to see my morph has spread so much in the hobby!
Well I've got quite a few now, so if you ever wanna trade for some, let me know!

Did you create the Mardi grass morph?

Did you create the Mardi grass morph?

Yup, isolated it myself from half a dozen individuals that popped up in my main O.asellus colony, (which was started with individuals I caught myself several years ago).
