I loooooove how in depth your taxonomy is, and the way you describe why they’re called the way they are, and why they are different from porcellio This is my favorite isopod species, definitely underrated just like you say. I’m now breeding every color. They’re so adaptable and active. When you said that you keep them dry with just a moist spot I was surprised because I keep mine pretty moist. It just goes to show how adaptable they are, that you wouldn’t even be able to determine the BEST setup for them, because they thrive in so many different conditions. You definitely need more subs, super great info

This was great! I have a mixed colony of powders. I started with 12 oranges. Added 12 Oreos. Then 12 blues. Now, 6 months later, I have some Orange Cream babies popping up, along with a lovely mixture of shades between blue and orange. I just need to source some White Outs and I'll have all the pretty eye-candy I need in that bin. I agree with you in that they are very underrated. The activity level and hardiness of this species makes them perfect for beginners. The fact that they are so active in the daytime offers a lot of entertainment and opportunity to study how they interact on a social level. A planted terrarium full of these guys is better than a freshwater fish tank, IMO! I love how busy they are.

I started with roughly 10 Porcellionides pruinosus "powder orange" back in September, and now have around 25-35 mature individuals that I can see. I kept them in a humid, damp setup, and they did just fine, no problems at all.

Great vid! In my experience Powders are extremely versatile, if not the most versatile, to their humidity and ventilation needs. I have some blues in a sweater box size bin, with only one row of holes on top for ventilation, and a ton of humidity, and they are booming. I also use them for CUC with my Solomon Island leaf frogs, which have a very humid enclosure. They do great with my Indonesian blue tongue skink too.

Wow, I had no idea there was a locale variety. I plan to start a double-recessive orange+whiteout P. pruinosus strain so I can have a mixed colony of orange, white, and pied orange.

Go for it! The orange cream new morph is quite pricey so make a new morph for us

Can the different color morphs reproduce? I’ve found some Oreos in with my Oranges. THANK YOU! Great video.

@misosoup79 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, they can! Breeding Oreos with Oranges will, in fact, result in Orange Creams. Blues and Oranges make mixed babies that seem to have varying shades of gray, blue, and bluish-orange. Some look very orange toward the center and very gray/blue around the outer edges. Others are uniformly one color, but not necessarily the clean blue/blue-gray of the blues or bright orange.
