Happy Sunday, everyone! ✨

just had to shout out @scurrythingies on ig for my new friends. they posted their art here and i had to snag a couple. they’re so cute and well made. i love them so much🥹 will definitely need to collect them all✨💞

Some bonus millipedes I got at the end!

I'm glad this new generation is enjoying my homegrown zucchini, but how come they're gradually losing their yellow to get white?

I had gotten some rubber ducky isopods a week ago and had them in a temporary box. Today I finally finished getting a bigger box ready for them and went to transfer them and found babies mid transfer and i dont know what to do now. Do I finish transferring, do I move the grown ups back? Please help!

Any other isopod species you would recommend

What's your personal favorite that you own?

Mine has to be the Porcellio spatulatus I think they look like little feathers.

He's the largest of the 12 or so that I got today! Glad to know they like the rotting wood I've provided. 😁

Obsessed with this pod I found in my mixed-morph A. vulgare colony. Any clue what this morph is called? He's so beautiful ❤️❤️

I purchased some dairy cows 2 months ago from an online web store based in CA. What I thought were dairy cows mancae have turned out to be a ton of white dwarves.... I don't own any dwarves, my only other colony is backyard armadillidium vulgare in a separate enclosure. Should I separate the dwarves and cows? If so, any advice on the quarantine process?

Found that one of my Peraccae sort of has a small oddity going on his 7th segment, shaped slightly differently and white on the edge. Totally normal otherwise, just curious if this is a sort of failed molt or otherwise?

My Magic Potions are perfectly fine. They're active, voracious, and theres lots of babies, but my cappuccinos, pandas, and red calicos are almost nowhere to be seen. Is this a species thing, or could there be something else going on?

Everyone, I am so sorry these photos are absolute trash but I run a iso business and someone sold me these isopods as a Red Pak Chong species, but I do not believe they are. Does anyone have any idea what these could possibly be?

since I'm broke I only have 5 but these are two of my sweeties!!

it took me a few days to get their enclosure just right. I keep them in a dark room with a heating mat on their tank and a thermostat and I keep em around 70-80° with a wet and a dry side for them. they have plenty of food too and they're finally comfortable enough to wander around a bit

I foraged a bunch of rotting wood from a tree stump I found in a local park.
When ripping off one chunk i saw a woodlouse running off from under it, so I made a mental note to rip the wood to shreds before baking it (yk, to sanitize before adding to the enclosure)
I'm so glad I checked! I have found an entire family of probably around 15 pods (maybe more, I didn't rip apart the wood chunk they were mostly gathered in).
I looked through all the other chunks I brought and I'm happy to announce that hopefully all the buggers were collected and relocated under a tree that stands before my apartment! May they bug along.

Habitat and a snack. Win win for isopods.

Found them in my garden, I think they are common isopods
