Habitat
Pineapple Spikey is a textured, humid display isopod. The points and ridges trap grime and hold moisture, so the bin should be damp and airy, not sealed and wet. Moss, bark, and leaf cover. A smooth dry cup will stall them.
Diet
Leaves and rotting wood, calcium, and sparing protein. Food smeared into the spines is a reason to feed less and in a dish.
Breeding
Spiny display lines are usually slow. Do not expect a cleanup-crew timeline. No brood count is recorded.
A good fit
A show animal for an experienced humid-bin keeper. The price and the pace both say it is not a starter.
