The listing is for 1x animal, of a beginner-friendly species of large isopod (rolypoly/pillbug/woodlice). This species is well-known for being one of the largest Armadillidium species available in the hobby, reaching 2cm.
This is a culture called "Corfu", named after the region that this culture was originally collected. This localised population from the island of Corfu in Greece is genetically distinct from the currently established Armadillidium pallasii in the hobby. Individuals from this distinct population tend to be more vigorous and exhibit a wider colour range than the regular population.
These are CAPTIVE BRED in my collection, with this stock originating from Corfu, Greece. When a group is purchased, the isopods sent will be an assorted mixture of ages and sizes, to ensure a good start to a breeding colony.
The isopods feed on a variety of forest materials such as decaying wood and leaf litter. Additional supplements such as calcium (limestone/cuttlefish bone) and fish food should be offered as part of their balanced diet.
