Quick share of yet another species from my breeding: Porcellio werneri "Silverback". This is a very cool morph of a species of extremely wide and flattened (likely the flattest in the hobby as now) isopod from Greece, often referred to as the "Greek shield isopod" for its appearance. When disturbed, they tend to strongly cling against the substrate for defence.
I only got them recentrly and as such all my specimens are still young and less strikingly colored than adults, but they're realy impressive nonetheless!
