Armadillidium vulgare 'T+ Albino'

Armadillidium vulgare ‘T+ Albino’ – Golden Albino Isopods

Creation Cultivated Armadillidium vulgare ‘T+ Albino’ is a distinctive color morph known for its warm yellow, orange, rust, and caramel coloration.

The “T+” hobby designation refers to tyrosinase-positive albinism. Unlike pale T− albinos, T+ individuals retain warmer pigments that may deepen as the isopods mature.

Hardy, adaptable, and relatively easy to maintain, T+ Albino isopods are an excellent choice for beginners, morph collectors, display colonies, and suitable bioactive terrariums.
