Defining Characteristics:

• Hardy species that establishes easily
• A large isopod that makes a great clean-up crew and pet 
• One of the few morphs that are not sexually dimorphic
• The 'T' in 'T-' stands for Tyrosinase, a precursor to pigment that allows for the production of red, brown and black pigmentation, it is lost in this morph thus the colorless exterior.

Name: Armadillidium vulgare ‘T- Albino’

Recommended Enclosure Size: A 6 quart Sterilite container or something similar works great for a starter culture. Upgrade to a 37 quart Sterilite gasket box or similar for larger cultures. Josh's Frogs Isopod Substrate works great as a bedding!

This isopod is a pet variety that is best kept by itself. They have a knack for eating live plants and reproduce too slowly to make a good long-term clean up crew in most environments.

Temperature (°F): 60-85 degrees 

Humidity: 60-80% which can be accomplished with regular misting when the enclosure starts to dry out.

Size: They'll be at least 1/4 inch at time of sale.

 Age: They live for 2-3 years, due to the mixed nature of the 10 counts, they contain a variety of isopod ages.

Feeding: Josh's Frogs Pod Power, Repashy Bug Burger, Repashy Morning Wood, and a calcium supplement two times per week in portions according to the population of the colony.

In rare cases, starving isopods may attempt to consume the carapace of freshly molted invertebrates or even gnaw on small or delicate reptiles or amphibians. We strongly recommend providing supplemental food to your clean up crew in the enclosure, such as Josh's Frogs Clean-Up Crew Cuisine. When in doubt, using dwarf species of isopods, such as dwarf tropical whites, may be a safer option.

Sexing: Males have a penile papillae on the underside of their tail, their pleopod segments(underside of the tail) are more angular while females are more square. Due to their age, isopods sold by Josh's Frogs are sold as unsexed animals.

Color/Pattern: A. vulgare 'T- (negative) Albino' isopods have a transparent or white exterior, typically with vibrant yellow speckling.

Breeding: These isopods breed readily in well set up colonies or enclosures.

Natural Range: This species is native or introduced to most of the world.
