Armadillidium maculatum – Yellow Zebra

Introducing our Armadillidium maculatum Yellow Zebra, a striking selectively bred colour line that has been isolated and bred specifically for its yellow coloration. Unlike standard A. maculatum, these individuals have been selectively maintained to produce offspring that consistently display the characteristic yellow patterning.

Their bold yellow-and-black appearance makes them a fantastic addition to any isopod collection, and they are a particularly rewarding species to watch as the colony develops.

Armadillidium maculatum are a hardy, beginner-friendly species that are capable of forming healthy, productive colonies when provided with the right conditions.

Care Requirements

Temperature: 18–24°C

Humidity: Moderate, with a moisture gradient

Substrate: Deep, organic, well-aerated substrate

Diet: Leaf litter, decaying hardwood, vegetables and supplementary protein

Humidity: Keep one side of the enclosure moist while allowing the opposite side to remain considerably drier.

Provide plenty of cork bark, leaf litter and other natural hiding places. A constant supply of dried leaves is particularly important as both a food source and shelter.

With good care, this line can establish into a thriving colony and makes an excellent choice for keepers looking to work with selectively bred and colour-focused Armadillidium.
