Clown pattern, North African roots.
Eastern Clown isopods (Armadillidium tunisiense) carry a bold, patterned look reminiscent of the more familiar clown morphs, with the added interest of coming from Tunisia and North Africa. They lean drier than many Armadillidium, doing well at 68 to 80F with humidity around 45 to 65%. A calcium-rich diet supports healthy shells as this intermediate species settles into a semi-arid bioactive setup.
- Bold, clown-like patterned shell
- A distinct North African species
- Dry-leaning setup requirements
- A nice pattern pickup for the semi-arid keeper
