Adult size
The commercial profile states 10-15 mm at adulthood, without a detailed measurement protocol. [1]
Lifespan
Individual lifespan is not established in the selected sources.
Lifestyle
The mixture described by the seller combines fertiliser-free soil, decomposing leaves and decayed wood; shelters complete the setup. [1]
Housing
SUBSTRATE AND SHELTERS
Leaf litter and shelters — Commercial protocol detailed in the profile. [1]
The mixture described by the seller combines fertiliser-free soil, decomposing leaves and decayed wood; shelters complete the setup. [1] No validated minimum volume is established here.
Care parameters
COMMERCIAL GUIDELINE
18-26 °C — Isopodshop; not a safety threshold. [1]
Humidity
Humid shelter — Monitor substrate and air renewal. [1]
Substrate moisture
The seller recommends a gradient with a moist refuge and a less moist area, to be monitored within the substrate. [1]
Ventilation
The seller recommends renewing air while retaining a moist refuge. [1]
Feeding
LITTER RESOURCES
Decomposed leaves and wood; protocol and supplement details in the profile. [1]
Identify the reference and retain its provenance
Armadillidium ameglioi appears under this name in a French catalogue. This profile separates seller guidance from taxonomic data. [1]
Retain the name received, seller and acquisition date. Verification of a taxonomic name does not identify the purchased group.
Substrate, shelters and food
The mixture described by the seller combines fertiliser-free soil, decomposing leaves and decayed wood; shelters complete the setup. [1]
The seller uses decomposed leaves and decayed wood as background resources; supplements are provided in small amounts according to observed leftovers. [1]
A calcium source, notably cuttlebone, is mentioned in the seller's protocol. [1]
Measurements and differences between sellers
Isopodshop suggests 18-26 °C for husbandry. This is a commercial guideline, not a demonstrated safe range. [1]
Insectorus indicates 20-26°C. This commercial range does not demonstrate safety thresholds. [3]
Insectorus states 1,5 cm at adulthood, without an explicit measurement method. [3]
Compare figures with their source and context. Combining commercial ranges establishes neither an optimum nor a demonstrated safety limit.
Reproduction and lifespan: documentary limitations
No sufficiently supported age at maturity, offspring count per brood, reproductive schedule or individual lifespan is retained for this reference. Colony longevity does not measure individual lifespan.
In the log, date juveniles actually observed and distinguish counts, estimates and absence of observation. No reproductive yield is promised.
Day-to-day colony monitoring
Record additions, leftovers, observed substrate areas and measurements with their location. Retain photographs of your own strain and setup changes.
For a colony split, record the date and number actually transferred, if known. Do not turn a simple observation into a counted birth.
