A more advanced species Porcellio expansus , originally from Southern Spain in the Mediterranean area, they will survive in a warmer range of temperatures 18°C to 24°C (approx), preferring drier conditions , with basically a Sphagnum Moss hydration station

As always setups should include a rich isopod suitable substrate of decayed hardwood, with an area for hydration (Sphagnum Moss) and calcium source. This species will also need more than usual a protein source such as Dried Shrimp. They will also enjoy hides from cork flats or egg trays or similar decor.

Once established the colony will start to breed, slowly, but the broods will be medium to large in size.
