Armadillidium flavoscutatum

Common names: unknown

Origin: Albania

Optimal temperature: 19-26 °C

Size: up to 1,8 cm

Enclosure: Normal with 1/3 wet part.

Additional info: One of the easiest isopods to keep and breed, good species for a beginner, fast breeder. Belonging to same family as A. klugii and A. werneri, A. flavoscutatum really looks similar to both. It’s a bit smaller than A. klugii and has incomplete 5th line of dots. It’s also more active than other species within the clown family. Usually they are found in north of Albania, but starter culture for these was found in the south.
