Porcellio hoffmannseggi hold the record among known terrestrial isopods as the largest (technically longest) species in captivity. These titanic 'pods are well known and loved due to not only their size, but relatively gentle temperament.
It is highly recommended to keep P. hoffmannseggii in a spacious enclosure for optimal breeding and health, and the size of these isopods can lead them to becoming stressed in crowded, small setups. We typically use 28-30qt containers to culture ours.
