The animals originate from a tamarisk region in the Mediterranean and have a unique, light basic coloration with dark banding. Their appearance is elegant &#8211; a great contrast to the often darker representatives of their species.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Like all <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Armadillo officinalis<\/span><span class=\"s1\">  the animals of the local form &#8220;Tamarix&#8221; are also true specialists for warmer, rather dry habitats. In their natural environment, they colonize dry deciduous forests, rocky coastal zones and light shrub areas &#8211; ideal for Mediterranean-style terrariums with a well-ventilated, dry main zone and a small moist retreat area. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Characteristic of this species is its typical rolling behavior: When in danger, the animals curl up into a perfect ball. This behavior is not only exciting to watch, but also offers protection from predators &#8211; both in the wild and in the terrarium at home. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Unlike many isopod species <\/span><span class=\"s2\">A. officinalis<\/span><span class=\"s1\">  are not necessarily dependent on permanent moisture. What is important is a good structure in the substrate, natural materials such as cork bark, leaves, mosses and a balanced climate with regular, but not permanently humid misting. This species is ideal for hobbyists who want to design their terrariums to be bioactive and close to nature &#8211; and who place particular value on authentic wild forms.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Tamarix<\/span><span class=\"s1\">-Isopods are comparatively active and can be observed exploring and feeding throughout the day. Their calm but curious behavior makes them an ideal pet &#8211; both for Isopod newcomers and for experienced keepers who value natural forms and interesting local variations. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wild form with elegance: Armadillo officinalis &#8220;Tamarix&#8221; for the terrarium This beautiful Isopod is not a cultivated form or targeted color morph &#8211; Armadillo officinalis &#8220;Tamarix&#8221; occurs in nature with exactly this shade of color.
