12+ count Armadillidium vulgare “Japanese magic potion”

The “magic potion” morph of Armadillidium vulgare is an expression of the dalmatian gene, showcasing a white almost translucent base with yellow spots that are unaffected by the gene because the gene only affects dark pigment.

The Japanese line is differentiated from the American line by its yellow markings spots, which appear smaller on the Japanese MPs compared to the American. The Japanese line also has black spots, whereas the American line, thought to have been crossed with vugare "orange vigor" at some point, produces black or orange spots.

This species enjoys a humidity gradient ranging from semi-arid to temperate conditions. These critters are burrowers and prefer a substrate depth of at least 3 to 4 inches.
