The animals impress with their unusual color pattern. The base color is a dark grey that extends to the antennae and legs. A striking yellow ochre to gold tone shimmers between the individual segment plates. This combination creates a unique appearance in the terrarium.    <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The great variability of the gold content is particularly exciting. Some animals only show slight golden accents, while others are significantly more strongly colored. This is precisely why many keepers are currently working on so-called    <\/span><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;High Gold&#8221; lines<\/span><span class=\"s2\">in which the golden part is particularly intense. Anyone who enjoys breeding projects will find this species an exciting challenge. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The physique appears strong and massive and is strongly reminiscent of <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Armadillidium gestroi<\/span><span class=\"s2\">. The animals curl up into a tight ball when in danger, which is typical of woodlice. This means they are well protected and fascinating to watch at the same time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The attitude of  <strong>Armadillidium spec. &#8220;Casteldaccia&#8221; <\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s2\">  is considered uncomplicated and is therefore also suitable for beginners. The basic setup follows the classic requirements of many woodlice. A mixture of forest humus and white rotten wood is suitable as a substrate. A layer of forage leaves is placed on top, which also serves as food and cover. A permanently moist moss corner should also be provided so that the animals can regulate their humidity.    <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">A source of calcium such as cuttlefish shell is also recommended. You can also offer protein-rich supplementary food from time to time. This will support growth and reproduction.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The animals come from <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Casteldaccia in Sicily<\/span><span class=\"s2\">a region in the province of Palermo. They usually live there from an altitude of around 450 meters. Their natural habitat is characterized by loamy soils and olive groves. They find shelter under the olive trees and feed mainly on the falling leaves.   <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">This origin means they are adapted to <\/span><span class=\"s1\">dry summer periods<\/span><span class=\"s2\">  adapted. The terrarium may therefore also have somewhat drier areas. An average humidity of about    <\/span><span class=\"s1\">70 %<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> has proven itself in husbandry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The species reproduces as reliably as many other woodlice. Under suitable conditions, stable offspring are quickly produced. This makes it suitable for    <strong>Armadillidium spec. &#8220;Casteldaccia&#8221; <\/strong><\/span><span class=\"s2\">  for beginners as well as for experienced keepers who want to keep a special and visually impressive isopod species.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beautiful offspring with a contrasting coloration!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":143253,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product-supplier":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[1463,1479],"product_tag":[],"lce-checkout-addons":[1730],"class_list":{"0":"post-150703","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-isopods","7":"product_cat-pill-bugs-armadillidium","8":"product_shipping_class-animal-shipping","9":"pa_herkunft-italy","10":"pa_kontinent-europa","11":"lce-checkout-addons-winter-packaging","13":"first","14":"outofstock","15":"taxable","16":"shipping-taxable","17":"purchasable","18":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
