I was considering caring for Armadillidium officinalis, and I would like to hear and tips and tricks for their success. Thanks!

They're actually in the genus Armadillo, not Armadillidium. 🙂 They've seemed quite easy in my experience. I give mine moderate ventilation with a lightly moist substrate that's about 2-3 inches deep. I hear that they're adapted to arid environments in nature, so they should be able to take some dryness.

Yep, I just came back to fix that typo once I realized... 😁. What variety do you have / reccomend?

 
According to my research, keeping one side of the enclosure wet but not soggy, then the middle lesss wet, then the other side on the dry side is a good idea so they can choose where they want to be.
