The Armadillidium “Sandstone” are woodlice highly appreciated in bioactive terrariums, both for their usefulness and their more “collector” look. They help with terrarium cleaning by consuming organic debris (dead leaves, decaying wood, leftover food) and contribute to keeping the substrate cleaner and more stable.
Like many Armadillidium, they enjoy a good leaf litter and a humidity gradient (a moist area + a drier area), which makes them easy to maintain in most bioactive setups.

Quantity: 10
Highlights
- Good “cleanup crew”: consumes plant debris and decomposing matter
- Attractive variety (interesting for display terrariums)
- Generally robust species if the humidity gradient is maintained
- More visible than micro-woodlice
- Can roll into a ball (typical Armadillidium behavior)
Tips & Parameters
-
Humidity: moderate (a moist area is necessary, but a drier area is essential).
- Tip: maintain a gradient (a moist area + a drier area).
- Temperature: around 18–26°C (tolerant; more stable breeding under constant conditions).
-
Food:
- continuous leaf litter (base)
- supplements: vegetable pieces, La Swamp woodlice food, etc. (in small amounts)
- Calcium: always have a source available (cuttlefish bone, calcium, well-dried eggshells, etc.)
- Warning: avoid soggy substrate and overfeeding (mold/mite issues). Regularly add dry leaves and some decaying wood to maintain a good food base.
