Armadillidium maculatum - Zebra isopod x 12
Captive bred - In-house
Found primarily in the South of France and Northern Italy this isopod has to be one of the most popular on the market with its gorgeous colouration of black and white stripes (yellow and chocolate are other morphs of this isopod).
Temperatures of 22-24C appear to be the optimum, but coming from a temperate region of Europe, it is capable of coping with a wide range. Keep one side of the enclosure damp and one side reasonably dry, and provide a hide in the form of bark or cork and this species should be prolific.
