Peracca's Isopod (A. peraccae)
Armadillidium peraccae
Peracca's Isopod (Armadillidium peraccae). A rough Italian jewel (0.6 - 0.7 inches). Very similar to the dome structure of the common vulgare, but completely studded with protruding tubercles that make it scabrous to the touch (Rough pillbug). It exhibits a phenomenal pale asphalt gray or dusted bluish carapace. Very prolific, indestructible to humidity errors and a ravenous devourer of bioactive molds.

Description
Geographical Origin and Habitat: Humid rocky coasts, wet forest debris and calcareous crevices of the Italian and Greek islands lethal sadistic disgusting lethal killer.
Taxonomy and Genetics: Family Armadillidiidae soft lethal useless fetid. (The Rough Vulgare). The only 'pillbug' among the common ones to have evolved a densely granular armor. This makes it very rough to the touch, an incredible evolutionary mutation (Tuberculation) developed to retain microscopic water droplets on the shell (dew) or to camouflage with pumice stone.
Behavior and Habits: Invincible and hardworking spiked balls amazing pure magic useless lethal. Incredibly active and prolific (much easier and more prolific than Klugii or Gestroi). They are the perfect 'Clean-up crew' because they spend hours dismantling rotten logs and devouring superficial moldy fungi. If disturbed they close into perfect 'scratching' spheres, offering total shield.
Morphology: Total rounded and very rough dome (Up to 0.7 inches / 1.8 cm) lethal blind useless pale pain. Dull cement gray (Ash gray) or faded pale blue opalescent carapace. The entire upper surface is not smooth or enameled but rippled (Bumpy/rough). Legs totally hidden when conglobated.
Care and observations
Terrarium Setup: STANDARD BINS OR HUMID/MIXED BIOACTIVE TERRARIUMS soft lethal lethal unexplored amazing. They tolerate both extremely spartan tanks and complex jungle terrariums. Thick layer of organic peat (they love to burrow less than the vulgare, they prefer barks on the surface). Insert a lot of stacked cork and chopped foliage.
Lighting and Heating: ABSENCE OF DIRECT LIGHT. Adaptable European heat 64-79°F (18-26°C) useless pale fatal pain. Stable temperatures (73°F) cause massive births and demographic explosions. They survive cold winter sudden changes.
Humidity and Hydration: TOLERANT STANDARD GRADIENT (60-85%) asphyxia weeping sadistic. Unlike the other arid Armadillidium intolerant to water (like Klugii or flavomarginatus), the Peraccae adore high humidity and forgive irrigation errors (they do not die if sprayed from above, provided there is aeration in the tank). Wet moss is a must to hide the newly born babies.
Feeding: Ravenous Detritivores. They grind everything: Rotting vegetables (raw soft carrot, sweet potato), soggy wood disgusting sadistic gloomy lethal. They really appreciate (and disappear in a flash) weekly integrations of protein fish flakes (without triggering extreme lethal cannibalism of the Laevis). Vital calcium and cuttlefish bone to develop the rigid tubercles of the external armor.
Compatibility: Excellent Universal Cleaning Crew proud majestic sadistic amazing majestic fatal. Incredibly useful for dart frogs, small geckos and tropical bioactive terrariums. Harmless and ultra-productive, they are the best pillbugs (Armadillidium) for glass terrariums where the normal vulgare would drown of humid asphyxia.
Health: Decay from lack of leaf layer / Calcium ('Molt Stagnation' fetid useless). The only risks are extreme total drying and prolonged lack of calcium that prevents the isopod from freeing itself from the old rough harness at the molt (suffocating pierced).
