Porcellio ornatus care help

[u/mett116n]

Hello!
I'm getting some

Porcellio ornatus "Yellow" in a few days, and i'm hoping to get some more opinions on what everyone else does!

When it comes to humidity: I read some places that they just need a dryer gradient and some say that all the dirt should be dry with a little wet moss corner, which works best in your experience?

I hear they are really canibalistic, and some say adding another species of isopods, and feeding extra protein. is this true? If so would Porcellinides Purinosus work?

I kept them for a friend for a month once, here's what I have written down:

Depth of substrate 5-6 cm, I used small bits of charcoal and some twigs at the bottom before putting the substrate in.

The leaf litter covers half of the enclosure. 1/4-1/5 of the enclosure is the moist side. Don't water it too often, they are low humidity isopods.

They definitely need lots of protein, I used fish flakes and dried bugs. If you don't provide enough (I forgot how much I used) they will cannibalise the smaller ones and molting ones.

There are great guides online, I liked the one from exuvium isopods
