Orange Cream Isopods for Sale (Porcellionides pruinosus)
Tastes like summer. (Please don't taste them.)
Orange Creams are a color morph of Porcellionides pruinosus with a soft blend of creamy white and warm orange. They're fast moving, fast breeding and always busy, which makes them one of the most dependable clean-up crews for bioactive enclosures, and a pretty one too.
Origin: Native to southern Europe and the Mediterranean region, Orange Creams are a color morph of Porcellionides pruinosus.
HPI Preferred Habitat Targets: 70–80°F; supporting relative humidity around 60–75%; maintain a clear moisture gradient with roughly one-third to one-half of the substrate moist and the remainder progressively drier, plus good ventilation. Provide a moist sphagnum or hydration retreat and avoid keeping the entire enclosure saturated. Recommended substrate depth 2-3".
Diet: Their primary diet should consist of plenty of decaying leaf litter and rotting hardwood. They also benefit from a quality calcium source, along with supplemental foods including quality isopod diets, vegetables, fruits, and protein offered in moderation.
Reproduction: Fast, Highly Prolific (Typical brood size: 20-30).
Perfect For: Beginner keepers, bioactive enclosures, reptile keepers, classrooms, and display terrariums.
Ordering: Priced per isopod, with a minimum of 3 per species. Starting a new colony? We recommend 6–20 (see How Many Isopods Should I Get?). Bulk discounts apply automatically.
