A cousin of the common Armadillidium vulgare.

A "tyrosine negative (T-) albino" is a true albino, which means they have no dark pigmentation. Even their eyes are light. They are white to translucent and may display some yellow spotting.

Armadillidium is a surface isopod that thrives in temperate environments with a moderate moisture gradient. They can not tolerate excessive moisture. Keep one side moist to maintain humidity. Good ventilation is essential.

Not sexually dimorphic.

AKA "Pill Bug," thus rolls into a ball ("arma") to retain moisture when the habitat is too dry, as well as a defensive posture.

NOTE: Color morphs are a product of unnatural selection and captive stock that produces numerous variations in the standard color pattern. In the case of Armadillidium vulgare, the wild/original color is dark grey.

 

Captive bred. Colonies include various sizes/ages.
