Product Details
The "Israel" locale of officinalis is unique in both size and visual patterning. "Israel" are slightly slower to reproduce, but reach nearly 2x the size of the other officinalis locales. Some hobbyists theorize they may be an entirely separate species of Armadillo altogether. Officinalis thrive in a well ventilated setup with moderate moisture.
Officinalis are often known as "the hissing isopod" due to rubbing their legs in a circular motion on the inside of their shells while curled up, which produces a rattling sound.
Officinalis do well in temperate and semi-arid environments. They are not recommended for tropical due to issues molting in high humidity. They enjoy eating many soft bodied plants.
