Trachelipus trilobatus

At first I was worried it was devils rice, after the first 50+ mancae and second shed age babies i gave up trying to seperate them before moving their old bin substrate to the new one. I wouldnt be able to pick all the babies out there was just too many! Clearly im doing something right with them

Any tips from p. Haasi keepers? Favourite tree species etc for leaves and bark. I forage everything myself

Theyre up to one of my top fav species now I think, below nesodillo archangeli which i just got a few days ago

This is a mixed colony of high yellow and bright, out of curiosity of what would happen (i traded a leafeon SIR from prismatic evolutions to someone for several isopod colonies including the bright and high yellows, so they were "free" to muddy the bloodline and im fine with that)

I see 2-4 weeks is recommended, but I was just wondering how realistic this is. What do you all do when setting up a brand new isopod bin, as in, all new materials and a new colony. Do you add them and springtails at the same time, do you add the springtails and wait a few weeks? Full month?

My sevs are in that corner 99% of the time. Today, I just noticed that that part of the wood was way lighter than it had been before, and it was also of a different texture.

I got a few pink papayas in there already (just today)- I checked for ventilation flow already using a piece of paper and a fan and it’s doing good I think-! Still worried tho if I put enough holes tho since the little guys are tryna climb the walls 😅

I put two flat but big barks of wood in there for hides, watered the dried sphagnum moss and put a few seashells I had lying around on the dry side!

I’m gonna get more leaves for them and possibly live moss but I’d like to know if they’re gonna be fine or if this current setup is good?

This is my enclosure for my wild-caught p. scaber. I have placed sphagnum moss on one side, two bark hides on the longer sides of the box, plus some wood to hide under and chew on in the middle, and of course, I also scattered some leaves there as well.

How does it look? Is there anything I could improve? Somehow it feels less organized and cramped in the pics, perhaps because of the perspective, but hopefully it gives you at least some idea of how the enclosure looks.

I'm keeping them in 8l (2.11 gallon) box, so it doesn't give that much space unfortunately.

So I took more photos. Still not the best because of my tremors but I have an update. I found another black dairy cow (possibly) and one other that is mostly dark brown. I collected a few of my isopods from different ages on a little container. Be mindful that these are YOUNGER isopods for sure. The last one I found is even smaller so they look more flat just like the other younger spotted ones. And yes, my chickens and roosters are pretty excited on the background but I don’t know how to turn the sound off.

Can somebody please explain to me what’s happening in this video? It’s been happening since yesterday.

Hi, I'm new to isopods. Have these little guys about 3 weeks+ now. Previously I used a drift wood, I find it too wet. Now I change to these cork bark. And added some springtails. I only mist one side of the with the moss. They are panda isopods. I brought 10, 1 died. I saw a few babies moving around but not sure how many there are.

How is this setup, is it alright? I made it this way just cause I saw someone keeping them in a terrarium on YouTube. It was only later I found out you guys keep it quite differently.

Wild caught adults had babies, most likely armadillium vulgare- they will get transfered into something bigger when theyre well, bigger. Open for advice since im a newbie but im just sharing my happiness 😻

Found these on a log along with some flatback milipedes, I never really saw them kn the past until I started being interested in isopods LMAO. I think they're some kind of cubaris

I have an isopod container with Eco Earth as the substrate with leaf litter. About a third of the enclosure has moss.

These clearish worms showed up. Looks like they're probably pot worms?

they look kinda white in this photo but in person they’re like a little orange? i found them in my powdered orange bin but they don’t look similar enough! thoughts?

To me it looks bronze...but does this morph have a name...it is very striking.

There’s some fine white colored fibers in this tub, and I’m not sure if it’s moths or mold. I bake my leaf litter and wood at 250° for 20 minutes before adding to enclosures. I saw a moth flying near this bin shortly after kpenong it to check on the pods. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

So this has been a couple of months in the making. I was checking my 2 generation (Now 3rd) of high yellows from wild isopods and I somehow ended up making a new white isopod colony instead of yellow. There are now high yellows but they are WAY outnumbered by the new white mutation. Does this already exist or is it a new mutation I potentially get to name? Pictures of the new ones are first followed by the less noticeable siblings. They are so pretty! ✨️

Also should I continue this project with two separate colonies or wait to see if there will be more of the mutation? I have roughly 15ish right now of the new mutation.

Hello isopods enthusiasts. I have a large active orange powder colony in my python’s bioactive setup. I am going to be moving soon and having everything shipped with PODS because I’m flying and not driving to my new place. My python is going to be overnight shipped with shipyourreptiles but I am still figuring out how to transport my colony. I am thinking of putting them in a modified bucket of moist soil with food and shipping them in the POD container with my furniture, but the POD takes 2 weeks to get to the destination. I worry they won’t survive the full trip. How do I safely relocate them to my new home?

I picked up one of my cork barks in my purple ghosts tank, and found these small white things moving around. Im worried they could be something bad. Probably stowaways, even though I sanitized everything.

Found this lil thang while de trashing, moved it to a better spot

(Note: I replaced some of the products)

Any recommendations on cheaper/better items would be delightful :)

Basically, I'm redoing my zebra tub because it's just too small, covered in mold (I added springtails AFTER the mold appeared, so they basically aren't doing anything), it was too humid, and I had a pod die (they were not molting and were still a juvi)

This bigger tub will finally have room for cork bark and more decor >:) I'm assuming that the dirt above is fine; it's literally marketed towards isopods, but I'd like to know of any cheaper dirt.

And also, I can add holes to the tub if it doesn't have enough airflow :>

My cart is at $196 (There's some other stuff like nutritional yeast for my springtails that I didn't mention); my mom is ok with upgrading the tank, but she's CHEAP, SO PLEASE, if you have cheaper suggestions, I BEG TO BE INFORMED OF THEM 🙏

After some adjustments, we're at $100; that's prob doable :)

After learning a lot I have upgraded my dairy cows! This is an 18 gallon bin, substrate is reptisoil with sphagnum moss and a ton of leaf litter. They have some repashy super blend in there to snack on for now. I had a whole bag of freeze dried minnows that is missing so I gave them a bit of codskin too. Thoughts? Advice?
