A splash of red up front.
Red Head isopods (Armadillidium flavoscutatum) carry a reddish head shield that contrasts nicely against the rest of the body, a detail that shows well under good lighting. Coming from Greece and the wider Mediterranean, they do well at 65 to 78F with humidity around 50 to 70%, with a calcium-rich diet keeping shells strong. This intermediate species rewards a keeper who enjoys spotting fine detail in their colony.
- Distinctive reddish head shield
- An eye-catching detail against a darker body

- A nice pick for a detail-focused collection
