Porcellio silvestrii (Silvestri’s woodlouse) 6ct

This is a large species typically found in dry mountainous areas along the northeastern coast of Spain, favoring calcareous rock formations. Despite the common belief within the hobby, they do not prefer dry conditions, and keeping them in such conditions can be fatal. They require access to areas with higher moisture levels, particularly mancae. This closely resembles their natural conditions, as humidity inside rock crevices can be much higher than the surrounding ambient humidity. However, like many of the large Porcellio species, they are susceptible to death from excessively moist substrate and stale, humid air, though this species does seem more tolerant of moist conditions than many of the other large Spanish Porcellio species. The key to successfully keeping them is to ensure that the proper air circulation is present to prevent stagnant, humid conditions within their enclosure.  They are sexually dimorphic, with females tending towards a greyish/tan and black coloration and ma
