10 to 15 count Pack of Powder Orange Isopods!
 
Powder Orange Isopods (Porcellionides pruinosus) serve as an excellent choice for beginners due to their adaptability, minimal care requirements, and fascinating behaviors. Establishing and maintaining a proper setup, while understanding their basic needs, is crucial to fostering a healthy isopod colony.
 
 Temperature and humidity stability are key factors, with powder orange isopods thriving in a temperature range of 70–85°F and a humidity level between 60–80%. Misting the enclosure lightly ensures consistent moisture, but over-saturation should be avoided. Lighting is not a primary concern, as isopods are nocturnal and prefer low-light environments.
 
Diet diversity ensures optimal growth and reproduction. While they primarily consume detritus such as decaying plant matter, supplemental feeding with vegetables, fish flakes, or calcium sources like cuttlebone promotes overall health. Uneaten food should be removed regularly to avoid mold growth.
Routine observation is necessary to monitor colony health and spot potential issues such as mold, pests, or overpopulation. Beginners should also practice patience, as isopods may take time to establish themselves in a new environment.
