A quick mover with a patchwork coat. Ukraine Pied (Cylisticus convexus) is a pied color morph of the convex woodlouse, reaching about 12 to 18mm as an adult. Unlike rollers, convexus is known for a fast, wriggling escape rather than curling into a ball, making it fun to watch in an open enclosure.
Keep the enclosure around 65 to 75F and 55 to 75% humidity, with moderate moisture and regular calcium supplementation.
