Humidity: Humidity should be between 60-80 %.
Substrate: A well-aerated, slightly moist substrate of coconut fibre, leaf humus or potting soil is ideal.

The ornamental isopods eat springtail and isopod food, agate sticks and various leaves.
Armadillo tuberculatus is a slow-growing species and a special feature is that the young animals have small bumps on their chitinous armour, which become less pronounced as they develop.
