Messin with giants

Two very large isopods! Porcellio magnificus & Porcellio bolivari.

Keeping both has proved my patience, the bolivari bred fairly quick for me, but he mags took many many many months to reach maturity but once they do pop out babies the amount is plenty, so the time waiting sure does pay off. Spanish species are so fun to keep, they do take a little trial and error but once you got the ventilation down you are good to go.

They’re lovely - but which one is which?

If you’re asking which one in the picture is which species, I think the orange one on top is the magnificus and the white-ish one on the bottom is the bolivari.
