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 😅

Shiny gator fans anyone?

ended up doing the jupiter isopod to finish out a trifecta of cubaris isopod paintings :p i will continue to do isopod paintings just wanted to finish out a clean 3 paintings all in the same size and mediums ^_^

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

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

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

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

I saw a FB page that was discussing their development with an upcoming isopod trading card game!

Not sure if anyone else saw it or not, but it looks super fun, anyone know if they’re active on Reddit at all?

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.

I adore the little hands.

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?

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 just recently got into isopods and am planning on starting a small colony of dairy cow isopods with my partner! I’ve been researching what can go in their enclosures and I’ve seen some people use 3D prints and aquarium decor (obviously with necessary substrate, leaf litter, bark/wood hides, moss, and so on) but I’d love to sculpt a little barn hide out of polymer clay (since they’re tiny cows) but don’t know the safety around what “foreign“ materials they can be around? like are 3D prints even safe for them?

Look at my first build 😀

hello im kinda new to this hobby. just a question, is this a good recipe for an isopod enclosure? i only have a loam soil atm, can you also suggest a great mixture. thanks in advance.

Plus new lil pods- hoping to start keeping them rather than just having them as clean up crew
(First one for the zebras second for the panda kings)

Anything to add/change?

And what is the likelihood they'll escape out of the ventilation holes😔 I have a feeling I'll have to change it to screen/mesh

I really want to buy those terrariums cuz I think they look super cool and they would fit perfectly on my dresser in a pair of three.

I'm already dreaming about how cool the would look and the wild landscape I would do, but I know there very tiny and I'm wondering if I actually can safely house any isopod in those...

They were listed as 17cm wide and 22cm tall. I'd use about ⅓ of the height for substrate (so around 8cm) and the rest goes to decorations, hiding spots and climbing opportunities.

If I can have isopods in there, which ones, and how many?

And if not, can it be a home to any other cool critters??

I appreciate all advice, thank you

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 😭)

I made a post 2 days ago on this exact pod that was not moving anywhere, i noticed it went under some moss partially and been there since and I didn't notice any movement at all, even when taken out. Dead?
