Porcellio haasi originated in Spain and are known for their large size and bright yellow spots. Considered one of the "classic" Spanish giants these isopods, like other large Porcellios, are some of the most popular and sought after isopods in the pet trade. Porcellio haasi grow to be surprisingly large for cleaners and thus make great additions to large terrariums housing large reptiles from tegus to pythons. Like most large isopods, haasi are heavy protein eaters and typically require supplemental food when using as a cleaner crew.
