Armadillo Officionalis - Spain

Originating from Spain, this locality line is prized for its robust build, clean natural coloration, and commanding presence in display setups.

Unlike many common Armadillidium species, Armadillo officinalis has a distinctly smoother, more domed appearance and can roll into an exceptionally tight sphere.
