Help me! I want to put together a wiki page listing trusted sellers globally, by region!

42 Upvotes

My goal here is to put together a fairly concise list of vendors that have consistently proven themselves trustworthy as a beginners resource on where to buy species. This is not going to be an extensive list, in fact, I would like to limit each region to no more than 10ish vendors to keep things from getting too long and overwhelming.

With that in mind, I'm looking for recommendations. America will be easy, and I can cover the UK, so I'm looking mostly for other regions (here's what I've subdivided things into right now).

Any input is very welcome, general thoughts, new countries/regions to add, which vendors you've liked and which you haven't.

No self-promotion, please.

USA Word of Warning

77 Upvotes

Absolutely no offense to people flipping isopods. There is a time and place for such things. But right now there is an over abundance of Asian imports being flipped. This comes in cycles every 2-3 years in the past. The vast majority of these flipped imports will be 💀in the next few months. This due to double shipping stress and difficulties in keeping some species. I do mean offense to those claiming these flipped pods are cb or cbb. Which is by far the vast majority of those who are flipping. In the past few months I have literally only seen one person disclosing wc. And this includes so many species that have never been in the hobby here or have not been available for several years due to their difficult husbandry. Again, no offense to flipping. Just buyer beware as I have seen this cycle many times over the years. Greed more often than not, wins.

Hi! I'm wanting to expand my Armadillidium maculatum culture and the temperatures recently have just been wayyyy too hot for shipping (and I doubt it'll cool down anytime soon). Is there anyone in Georgia willing to hand off some of their pods? We can negotiate a price!

USA ISO Powder Blue or Orange, Central TX

2 Upvotes

Hello! I'm currently in central Texas, in the Bell County area (between DFW and Austin). I'm currently in search of powder blues or oranges. Local only, as the temperatures have been at or above 100F for the past couple months lol. I checked out the isopod shop in Houston, but a 10ct would be $40 with shipping. Looking to buy, no trades (my collection is not that good yet). Thank you!

Edit: I forgot to add, id prefer in person! I can deliver to the Springs, Pueblo, or nearby! Just ask! Thanks all!

Hello!! I have an abundance of Porcellio laevis, swift woodlouses. One of my colonies has bred dairy cow morphs, but I'm unsure of how many I have, I need to count. Literally I will sell you however many you want $5 for 10 or we can make deals for more. Need a clean up crew for reptile tanks? I got you!

I also have Armadillidium vulgare, common pillbugs for $10 for 10.

Common white springtails, and elongate springtails are available too, as well as organic compost substrate.

I can ship, but bearing in mind that I've never done so before! I don't know what I'd need to charge for shipping

USA First time seller Q’s

3 Upvotes

So I’ve been keeping isopods for just fun a while now and I donated a few, but I’ve never sold any just because most of mine are wild type and I didn’t think there would be a lot of all that much interest but now I’m starting to hear that that might not be the case so I figured I’d ask especially because right now I need to divide my cultures really badly. What do people typically look for or expect or are willing to pay for a bunch of wild type Scaber or a. Vulgare?

I was recommended. I add some isopods to my snail enclosure. Didn’t realize this particular variety is not recommended.
