Description

Armadillidium corcyraeum is a lesser-known pillbug species from the Mediterranean, prized for its small size, smooth body, and natural hardiness. While not as flashy as some morphs, they have a clean, classic look and are reliable breeders once established.

This species prefers a setup with a clear moisture gradient, good airflow, and a mix of hiding places such as cork bark and leaf litter. Like other Armadillidium , they are capable of rolling into a tight ball when disturbed, which adds to their appeal.

Their adaptability and ease of care make them a solid choice for beginners looking to branch out beyond the more common Armadillidium vulgare morphs, as well as experienced keepers who enjoy maintaining a wider variety of species.
