Croal Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I am getting a culture of Armadillidium vulgare "St. Lucia" shortly. Has anyone ever tried selectively breeding the different colours of this animal? I understand that there is quite the variation under this locality, but is it possible? I would love to isolate some Jade coloured individuals eventually. I think they are quite beautiful. Does anyone know if the wild type colours are linked to sex? If anyone has and extra tips I would appreciate it. Stay safe guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acro Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I know that Armadillidium vulgare "tangerine" was isolated from Armadillidium vulgare "Punta Cana" locale. Check it: https://www.smug-bug.com/available-animals/Armadillidium-vulgare-tangerine-p151812009 But I don't know the genetics of Armadillidium vulgare "St. Lucia", but it may be possible. Good Luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croal Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 Thanks! I wasn't aware of that! Going to pick up the culture in an hour, I'll upload photos if I can get any good ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croal Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 Here they are! Not quite as green as hoped, but I am super excited about them. The first image has the two most green ones, and the other images show most of the rest. https://ibb.co/wBb14mk https://ibb.co/PxcG1zq https://ibb.co/5nyGPCd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Mine are often orange but things with variable colors shift over many generations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
