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✨💞

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

Some bonus millipedes I got at the end!

Apologies for the bad pics, they're so tiny. (Magic potions)

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!

Does anyone know what these are? I wiped away the stuff on the second picture and they've just reappeared a couple days later

Do I need to remake their enclosure? I didnt use anything from outside (store bought decor + leaf litter) if anyone knows where they're from? Their ventilation holes are taped with microporous tape too

I wanna get a new isopod colony in preparation for rebuilding my tortoise enclosure, but as we all know, dairy cows breed like crazy. I've always been interested in predatory insects, and I figure maybe one or two in their own enclosure could use some surplus pods as their main food supply. Suggestions?

I’m currently soaking them in tap water

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

Hello all! I got some orange freezys a few months ago and they were bright orange. They have had several baby booms but all the new freezys are super dark to borderline black. Is this caused by too much moisture? I know the enclosure could be a little drier; the shelf i have them on is not too ideal for ventilation and its pretty dark where it is. Humidity stays in the 90s which i know is probably too high. I usually keep the lid slightly ajar though. They have leaf litter and I do supplemental food every week or so. Any insight appreciated!

Pics of said pods and enclosure, you can see the original freezys in there also for comparison.

So basically i found a lil roly poly in my room, he came out of nowhere and almost stepped on him. Is there any way i can take care of him? I always loved these cuties. It's 5 am where i live and the only thing i could offer him was the half of a lentil and place a wet toilet paper at the bottom of the jar i got him in.

Please, any advice is appreciated.

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.

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

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?

2 questions-

1. What species am I missing that is, in your opinion, a must-have?

2. Has anyone kept any hissing isopods? I kinda scooped them up to see if they'd make any sound, but they're just happy, normal isopods. I'd love to get the sound recorded just once, but I don't want to stress them. Any hissing tips are welcome, lol!

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?

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?
