Description
Armadillidium gestroi Isopods are a visually captivating species, easily recognized by their dark bodies accented with vivid yellow or golden striping along the back. Native to Europe, they thrive in well-ventilated enclosures with moderate to high humidity and are known for their slow, deliberate movements and strong ability to roll into a protective ball when disturbed. While they breed more slowly than some other isopods, their hardy nature and striking appearance make them a favorite among enthusiasts looking to balance beauty and function in a bioactive setup. Ideal for display-focused enclosures, A. gestroi contributes to the cleanup crew by breaking down organic waste, mold, and decaying matter, supporting a clean and balanced environment.
