Laevis TIF Isopods are a variant of the well-known Porcellio laevis species, recognized for their smooth bodies and warm earthy tones ranging from brown to light gray. This line is known for its active behavior, fast reproduction, and high heat tolerance, making it ideal for bioactive terrariums and closed ecosystem setups.
They are efficient decomposers that help break down organic matter such as leaf litter and compost, improving soil quality and reducing odor buildup.
