Textured like stone.
Sandstone isopods (Armadillidium scaberrimum) carry a rough, matte shell in sandy, earthy tones, a nice grounding presence in a mixed display of brighter morphs. Coming from the Mediterranean region, they lean a little drier than most Armadillidium, doing well at 65 to 78F with humidity around 45 to 65%. A calcium-rich diet supports that textured shell as the colony establishes.
