Armadillidium flavoscutatum ‘Redhead’ is a striking morph of the European pillbug, instantly recognizable by its reddish-orange head and contrasting darker body. This bold coloration sets it apart from the standard form and makes it a favorite among keepers who enjoy unusual and eye-catching varieties. Despite its vivid appearance, it retains the same hardy nature as the species, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced isopod enthusiasts.
 
In terms of husbandry, the Redhead morph thrives in a well-ventilated enclosure with a moisture gradient, leaf litter, and decaying wood. Like other Armadillidium species, it is a detritivore, feeding on rotting plant matter, supplemented with fish flakes or vegetable scraps. They are social and peaceful, doing best in groups where they can display natural behaviors such as clustering and burrowing.
