CARE NOTES

Keeping considerations

Armadillidium vulgare "Albino" | The Crimson-Eyed Ghost The Armadillidium vulgare "Albino" is a mesmerizing mutation that transforms the common "Roly-Poly" into a high-end collector's item. These isopods display a beautiful range of creamy ivory, soft yellow, and peach tones. The most distinct feature of this strain is their ruby-red eyes, which confirm their true albinism. They retain the legendary "tank-like" hardiness and active personality of the Vulgare species but add a bright, ethereal aesthetic that stands out brilliantly against dark soil and green moss. 🧬 Species Highlights Scientific Name: Armadillidium vulgare* "Albino" * Visuals: Creamy white/yellowish body with distinct red/pink eyes. * Behavior: Very active and "friendly"; they are famous for perfectly rolling into a ball (conglobation). * Adaptability: Extremely hardy; can thrive in a wide range of environments. * Size: Medium; reaching approximately 1.5cm - 1.8cm. 🛠️ Care & Setup The Albino Vulgare is incredibly forgiving, making it an ideal choice for bioactive setups or standalone colonies. * Humidity: 50--60%. They prefer a Dry/Moist Gradient. Ensure one side has damp Sphagnum moss while the rest remains dry. * Temperature: 18--24°C (65--75°F).
