Product description:
The Armadillidium maculatum “Zebra Chocolate” are woodlice highly appreciated in bioactive terrariums, both for their “zebra” look and their usefulness. They help with cleaning the terrarium by consuming organic debris (dead leaves, decaying wood, food leftovers) and contribute to keeping the substrate cleaner and more stable.
They thrive very well in a well-established terrarium with a good leaf litter and a humidity gradient (wet zone + drier zone).
Quantity: 15

Highlights:
Good “cleanup crew”: consumes plant debris and decomposing matter
Very attractive variety (Zebra Chocolate) for display terrariums
Generally robust species if the gradient is respected
Quite visible and interesting to observe
Can roll into a ball (typical Armadillidium behavior)

Tips & Parameters:
Humidity: medium (wet zone necessary, but a drier zone is essential).
Tip: maintain a gradient (a wet zone + a drier zone).
Temperature: around 18–26°C (tolerant; more stable breeding under constant conditions).
Food:
continuous leaf litter (base)
supplements: vegetable pieces, La Swamp woodlouse food, etc. (in small amounts)
Calcium: always have a source available (cuttlefish bone, calcium, well-dried eggshells, etc.)
Warning: avoid soggy substrate and overfeeding (mold/mite issues). Regularly add dry leaves and some decaying wood to maintain a good food base.
