Orange Dalmatians

Porcellio scaber “Orange Dalmatian”

Porcellio scaber “Orange Dalmatian” is a medium-sized isopod species known for its orange and white speckled pattern, a variation of the classic Dalmatian morph. Juveniles often appear mostly white before developing more orange patterning as they mature. These isopods are hardy and adaptable, thriving in arid and temperate environments, though they may struggle in tropical conditions. They are also known for their ability to play dead when disturbed. Due to their soft exoskeleton and moderate breeding rate, they are sometimes used as feeder isopods but also make great additions to bioactive setups and as pets.
