Thank you so much for all the support 😊

Thank you

Thank you Ricky!

Thanks

You know you have to publish your findings lol

I would be interested in the paper too if I have time can u send it to my email jay@isobelcottage.com

Using the wild type as your control species

@@isobelcottageexoticstv3233 sorry for misusing this comment section, but i gotta store this information now somewhere public. There are issues with the description, probably some of these are what Dr. Kwon was referencing. 1. his description is based on ONE SINGLE female individual, I think i don't have to go into detail why this is bad 2. Missing figures. There are no figures relating N. arcangelii 3. He wrote N. arcangelii are extremely similar to N. schellenbergi. Instead of giving a full description of arcangelii, he just mentiones some differences 4. So we can assume apart from these differences, that we can use the description of schellenbergi (which in turn shares similarities with N. medius, differences mentioned again). HOWEVER a big part of the characteristics for N. schellenbergi are the male exopods. This wouldn't be a problem, if his whole arcangelii description wasn't based on a single female. In contrast, he had about 60 individuals for the description of schellenbergi. I am not sure what he tries to explain with some things he mentions (vague phrasing and no figures) and also I am not sure if some of the things he mentioned are characteristic for the species or maybe just the genus. I would have to look through other Nesodillo species to confirm this, which is quite time consuming I guess. That's about everything I pulled from the paper for now Edit: sadly I don't have the wild type at the moment, but I know someone who has a small group of them, so maybe in the future

@@amarok1590 no worries please use this video to store this information. I appreciate you working to sort this things out. Dr. Keon really did not say straight up what’s wrong with Verhoeff description but I think you are going to the right path

Thank you for the information. Dr. Keon said that no ones really knows that Verhoeff described in his paper. Him being an authority on Nesodillo thinks that no one can really pinpoint what is archangelii. It’s distinguishing characteristics as compared to other species.

He thinks start we can’t possibly conclude it’s Nesodillo archangelii accurately

@@isobelcottageexoticstv3233 So he has seen the paper? If so, do you have it by chance? I'd be really interested in seeing it. So in conclusion arcangelii might even be "invalid" because of a insufficient description? But very interesting!

@@amarok1590 yes he has seen the paper described by Verhoeff in 1926. II personally have not seen the paper myself since I am not an academe anymore and no access to old scientific paper. Based on our correspondence I have a feeling that Verhoeff could have inaccurately described the species in 1926 even Schaffus mentioned in his paper im 2003 that some genus has to be reclassified

@@amarok1590 yea without Dr. Keon properly mentioning it. Verhoeff classification could be insufficient to properly identify the species correctly. Anyone who have worked on Invertebrate Taxonony knows that’s is a possibility.

These are a little bigger

Dry leaves, decaying woods and sometimes fish pellets

Dry leaves, decaying woods and sometimes fish pellets

@@isobelcottageexoticstv3233 do they eat squash and cabbage po?

@@ItsAlcs not much I have them cabbage before it’s just molded they like dry leaves and fish pellets (just a pinch)

@@isobelcottageexoticstv3233 Thank you! I got mine recently and have no idea what to feed them. Maybe I'll just focus on giving them leaves

They are a bit expensive for a clean up crew. Your dart frog will eat them they are very active. Their population will be decimated they are both nocturnal. I would recommend this as a pet in their own vivarium they won’t disappointed you

Have you thought of having a smaller vivarium for isopods only? I have known some customers of mine who purchased isopods as their pet. This Isopods wont disappoint you they just wont hide all day long they will be out and about I guess - with the dart frog same enclosure that would be a bad idea lol
