What isopod species is this actually?

[Bunyan van Asten]

Hey eveyone! I have kept this small colony of isopods for a few weeks. But today i've kinda been wondering a lot about what species this actually is... could someone maaaybe ID them? If better pictures are needed, just tell me! (There was a nice big piece of cover for them, i just took it away for the pictures)

They look like Porcellio scaber to me.

Most of them are P.scaber, but there is one individual up in the top left corner of the first photo that looks different to me, would love a better picture of it.

I agree that they look like P. scaber, a pretty good breeder if you're wanting to breed them!

P. scaber for sure. See if you can find any color morphs. In my area, scaber can be orange and yellow mottled, and I even found one pure amber one with white edges. However, the mottled or calico morph is apparently a female only trait- not a problem as scaber can parthenogenetically reproduce.
