Armor with an attitude. The Cuban Spiky (Pseudarmadillo spinosus) is a rolling isopod native to Cuba, covered in short spines that give it a rugged, armored look even when curled into a ball. It stands out immediately next to smooth bodied Porcellio and Cubaris.
This tropical species wants steady warmth and high humidity. Keep the enclosure around 72 to 82F and 75 to 90% humidity, with a consistently moist substrate and generous calcium supplementation to support its dense, spiny exoskeleton.
- Distinctive spiny, armored appearance
- Rolls into a tight, defended ball like other rolling isopods
- Rare Cuban locality species
- A standout centerpiece for the advanced tropical Keeper
