They are highly efficient at breaking down a wide variety of decaying organic matter, including leaf litter, decaying wood, uneaten food, and animal waste. Their diligent work keeps your substrate remarkably clean, drastically reduces mold and fungus growth, and contributes significantly to a healthier environment for your primary inhabitants.

 * Larger & More Visible: As one of the larger isopod species commonly used in terrariums, "Giant Orange" P. laevis are easy to observe and make a noticeable impact on the cleanliness of your setup. Their substantial size allows them to tackle even larger pieces of detritus with ease.
