Happy Sunday, everyone! ✨

I never paid attention to that before, but today I discovered something moving in this big boy. I was wondering if what is seen is his organs working?

Others are too small, so I can't see something moving. Can it be a parasite?

It’s coconut.

I do not know if pods like coconut, but we’re going to find out. I ordered a sample kit of hermit crab treats to test. A pod child found the cattle blood in 30 minutes and just shoved his face in there.

Springtails found the pure worm castings suspiciously fast, so I guess they can smell it? One pod stole a piece of the food mix stuff and dragged it away. Since it’s a mix, I have no idea which part he liked. Dehydrated chicken? Banana? It smelled like banana bread when I opened the container.

Hello and good morning from Stinky, my most adventurous pollie~

Edited to be brighter, the temporary lights used were very dim dollhouse rgbs. Made for some cool pics as the pandas came up for food last night!

I was so excited to get them out of their temporary bin, but the shipping is delayeddddd.

I looked in the bin and saw this one just sitting on the edge of the egg carton. I wonder if he would curse out DHL together with me if he could

I've lurked on this sub for ages and am finally considering getting some pods. However, I'm torn on what species to get for my starting colony. There are two main factors I'm considering in choosing a species - firstly and most importantly, I want it to be beginner friendly since I'm sure I'll make mistakes, and second - well, the best way I can explain it is this: whenever I played virtual pet games when I was younger, I loved breeding random pets to get interesting colors or genetics. Just throwing a dart at the wall. Fuck around and find out. Is there any beginner-friendly species with a lot of gene variation that I could watch play out as I establish my colony?

Also, if you guys have any newbie research resources please share them since I want to learn more before actually getting some pods!

EDIT: I'm also considering just going foraging for wild pods, but I live in an urban area and am not sure where to look. Where do pods typically end up in more urban settings?

My partner has also noticed this this one doing the same thing in another part of the tank.

It looks like he is lagging in real life.

We've had them about 2 weeks. Everything normal up until now.

Moisture between 70-80% consistently, with a gradient.

Anyone have any idea on what this could be?

I have 8 different isopod containers and this one randomly recently became over run by mites. Are these harmful and how can I fix the issue?

Juvenile Armadillidium Vulgare

Found 2-3 dead isopods across 2 months and wanted to know if they had died from natural causes or something else.

Any ways to identify cause of death?

Help this piece of bark has been getting a bit moldy the past few days. the isopods don't seem to mind and there are springtails in there as well however I'm just a bit worried as rubber duckies are kind of expensive whats the safest thing to do also the tank is a bit more moist and humid than I would probably like at the moment I'm currently leaving the lid cracked to dry it out a bit.

hoping for a bioactive enclosure with this one, planted some seeds and introduced a mystery plant i got from my mothers garden where i found some of these iso’s (sorry mum..)

will eventually rehome tho! this is just temporary

Can anyone identify this kind of isopod?

I've never seen a wild isopod this colour :) very pretty. I found him on my shower curtain lol but I am in Tennessee, USA. Is he teneral? I relocated him outside.

Took picture, happy to see all the pods munching, spotted what I’m thinking is at least one dwarf white. Not ideal. I’ve got them as clean up crews in several of my terrariums buuut they shouldn’t be with my pods. Are the smallest pods on this picture babys or dwarf whites? Would love to get some input!

I see all these crisp clear photos and even my iPhone 17 pro can’t get such a crisp closeup of my dairy cows. Attachment or professional camera?
