Porcellio Dubosqui "Troglophila"

CARE NOTES

Keeping considerations

Porcellio duboscqui "Troglophila" is a spectacular member of the "Spanish/Mediterranean Giant" group. Despite its name, this is not a small or cave-exclusive species; it is a massive, surface-dwelling titan that rivals the famous P. hoffmannseggi in both presence and elegance. This species is defined by its elongated, powerful body and its exceptionally long, spear-like antennae and uropods. Its coloration is a sophisticated, matte slate-grey to brownish-charcoal, often featuring a subtle "frosted" texture and wide, pale margins (the skirt). The "Troglophila" lineage is particularly prized for its imposing size and regal movement. It is an active, bold isopod that dominates the terrarium floor with its prehistoric silhouette. Perfect for large-scale Mediterranean displays , advanced collectors of giant species, and those who want a "Titan" with a unique and ancient aesthetic. Activity level: High / Very Bold. Rarity: Uncommon / High-End Collector Choice. Ventilation: Extreme/Maximum. High-volume cross-ventilation is mandatory for their respiratory health and successful molting.. Substrate: Deep organic soil mix enriched with calcium, limestone, and a heavy layer of dry leaf litter..
