FAQ

Is this a stable line?

As with all Armadillidium badium isopods, it is difficult to have a stable line. I have had different morphs and in all of them a great variety of color appears in time. Speaking of this morph, after 6 months of keeping them I have noticed darker individuals. Regarding this you may want to read a very informative section on the page Basic Care for Isopods, with title: CB to WC differences.
