Pale color, proven toughness. This T- Albino line of Armadillidium vulgare carries the tyrosinase-negative albino trait that gives the morph its pale appearance against dark substrate, paired with the species' famously easy care. Vulgare is native to Europe and now established worldwide.
Few isopods handle beginner mistakes as well as this one. It adapts to a range of humidity levels, rolls into a tight defensive ball, and steadily works through leftover food and decaying plant matter. Add a calcium source and the colony will keep expanding.
- Pale, tyrosinase-negative albino morph
- Stands out clearly on dark substrate
- Hardy and very beginner-friendly
- Available in a range of colony sizes
