About this species

The Zebra isopod is one of the most recognizable designer morphs, prized for its crisp white banding over a near-black body. A great step-up species once you've had success with common Porcellio or Armadillidium — active, personable, and a fantastic 'roll into a ball' display species.

Care notes

  • Appreciates a mineral-rich substrate; add crushed cuttlebone or eggshell.
  • Moderate humidity with a drier basking side works well.
  • Breeding slows in low temperatures — keep above 68°F for consistent reproduction.
  • Great in mixed bioactive setups alongside common Porcellio species.
