At Isopod Canada, home to the largest selection of isopods in Canada, we’re thrilled to offer Porcellio echinatus, a rugged and fascinating addition to any collection. Known for their spiny, textured appearance, these isopods bring a wild, prehistoric vibe to your bioactive setups. Their name, “echinatus,” reflects their distinct spiked exoskeleton, making them a standout species for hobbyists who love unique textures and forms.
Native to dry environments, Porcellio echinatus thrives in setups that mimic arid or semi-arid conditions, making them a versatile and hardy choice. Beyond their striking looks, these isopods are effective detritivores, contributing to enclosure health by breaking down organic matter. Whether you're expanding your collection or starting fresh, Porcellio echinatus is a must-have for any isopod enthusiast. Find yours today at Isopod Canada!
