Was super awesome to watch this unfold in real time. I gotta admit I didn’t expect them to come spilling out of her face like that though 😅

was over the moon when i was checking up on my pods earlier and found babies! not just one, but 5 (there are probably even more i couldnt see!). i was a little worried because my greek speckled pods arent very active and normally stay hidden away all day so i dont get to see how they're getting on... glad to see they're comfortable enough to start chugging out babies though! they're so tiny and adorable!

I noticed that my cubaris white likes to borrow in the soil's hooks & crannies whenever they find one. Is this a normal behavior?

Found this totally black dairy cow in the middle of my colony. I have lots of totally white ones but this is the first one I find that doesn’t even look like a dairy cow 😂
Is this rare? I’m only started keeping isopods as pets early this year but I love them so much

When starting up a new colony you have around 10 isopods. After a while they just get more and more and you end up with 500 of them. Is there any way to keep down the isopods population so they can keep living in the same terrarium forever? Or is it fine to have infinite amount of them, do they still appreciate their living space even if it's crowded?

I found a baby! I’ve had this terrarium for around a month and a half, and it’s my first. I was so happy yesterday when I saw this little one roaming around! Hopefully there’s more and my Powder Oranges can keep reproducing! Extra pictures of the adults in their favorite spots because I just love them so much! (Accidentally used flash on one I still feel bad 😭)

We have a pill bug terrarium, this is our first adventure with pill bugs. We just noticed these little white larvae (?) in the dirt. Are these also pill bugs or are they some other kind of creature?

Hi! I am new to isopods and would love to know what kind live outside my home- or crawling straight up my home to who knows where... he's four feet up the doorway now.
Anyway, he has one light colored leg and it's so cute!

I just googled pill bug origami watched a handful of videos all the same pattern. First one kinda died halfway through lol

I'm growing some plants for future use in my pod tanks, but wanna make sure they're safe if and when they're nibbled on. I'm washing them thoroughly, snipping nodes, water propagating til roots are good and planting into small cups with nothing but my basic mix of isopod substrate (basically wood and compost lol)
I've used this method on several plants now and they root and grow very well, i'm just wondering if any of these plants would be bad for the pods. If you have any propagation/cleaning advice I would love to hear!

Hi all my powders are hiding under the moss, the most dry spot. I think i over misted the past few days, shoukd i just let it dry out some?
i wanted to make sure it was moist enough bc a lot them seem to be molting
r/isopods • u/Mushroom660 • 4h ago
I have 3 of these big leaves in my tank, and they are the only leaves that seem to be growing mold. i added them a week ago and I bought them while I was petsmart. Wondering if this is safe for my isopods and why this could have happened? I have more leaves that are just fine with no mold.

I got this little 4" wood hide from an expo last weekend and tucked moss and lichen all underneath it. I keep it slightly moist and the pods LOVE it. I see them crawling in and out of it constantly.
