I looked, and I didn't know there was such a variety of the cute little guys! I'm a little bit in love! Do you have them for their own sake or mainly as feeders/clean-up crews?

All of them, actually. I don’t have any terrariums atm, so I have no need for cleaning crews. Personally I think they are way to cool to be janitors ;)

It's true. I use my orange isopods as a big part of the bioactive team in the soil of my terrariums, and I get REALLY INTENSE when I count noses and realize that some dang sling has invited one of my orange beauties over for a midnight snack. It rarely happens, but when it does there are repercussions!

Are the P. pruinosus "Purple" different from regular pruinosus? A truly purplish isopod without iridiovirus would be nice.

They look like wild-type to me. The ones I have look much more purple after their waxy dust is rubbed off as well.
Maybe I'm wrong as I don't have your "normal" morph for comparison.

NP! :)

And I agree with @LawnShrimp, those "purple" P.pruinosus look normal to me, I think someone called them purple just to rake in more sales or something. Freshly molted individuals always appear to be a dark shade of purple/brown.
Puce. I would describe them as puce. Of course, I also know where the fish fork and consume spoon go in a Victorian place setting, so draw your own conclusions. :bored:

Wow, color me super impressed!
I've always wanted to get a bunch of different isopod species for my collection.
Do you ever sell small cultures? If so I'd definitely be interested in buying some from you when the weather gets warmer.

I was also curious if you might have Porcellio magnificus or know anyone who does?

Thanks in advance!

I do sell! Feel free to message me if interested, are you in the U.S.? I don’t check this forum often, so if you have Instagram it’s preffered that you text me that way :)
