The Gillianus (Pseudarmadillo gillianus) is one of the rarest isopods in the US hobby. First described in 1902, it is native to western Cuba, from Havana Province to the Isla de la Juventud. Its genus, Pseudarmadillo, is found almost nowhere else on Earth, and only a small handful of keepers hold this species.
Gillianus wear orange and yellow armor with reddish brown tones and pale spines, and they are more active than most spiky isopods, so you will actually see them out and about. That makes them a rare treat: a true collector species that also works as a display animal. Once settled, they breed at a moderate pace.
The Gillianus is part of our Heirloom Collection, reserved for the rarest animals we keep. All Gillianus isopods for sale at Creature Cache are captive bred and ship with a 100% live arrival guarantee.
