Description

Armadillo tuberculatus is a fascinating species within the Armadillo genus, recognised for its distinctive textured exoskeleton and compact body form. Unlike the more familiar Armadillidium species, members of the Armadillo genus tend to have a slightly different rolling behaviour, making them an interesting addition for collectors who want variety beyond the common pillbugs.

They thrive in enclosures with good ventilation, a clear moisture gradient, and access to decaying wood, bark, and leaf litter. While hardy and adaptable, they are less commonly kept than other isopod species, which adds to their uniqueness in a collection.

With their unusual appearance and reliable care requirements, Armadillo tuberculatus is a rewarding choice for both hobbyists looking to expand into less typical genera and experienced keepers who enjoy maintaining diverse collections.
