Note: Porcellionides pruinosus 'White Out' is a unique morph of the Powder Isopod, characterized by its striking white coloration, including white eyes. They are excellent as a "clean-up crew" in vivariums, helping to maintain cleanliness by consuming detritus and decaying organic matter. Providing a substrate of moist soil enriched with decaying leaves supports their health and encourages breeding. Offering a varied diet that includes fruits, vegetables, greens, and occasional protein sources is beneficial. Ensuring proper ventilation within the enclosure is crucial to prevent mold growth and maintain optimal conditions.
