I love the zebras! I added about 10 to a terrarium a year or so ago and have pretty much completely ignored them since. The plants went crazy and took up every square inch of the 20 gallon long aquarium and the population of isopods exploded. I can barely see into the tank because of the plants, but I do see little zebras roaming around. They're excellent little climbers. Luckily I have the lid sealed pretty well.

Nice isopods.i have 7 colonies and I had them for a month now. I just love them. The only isopods that we both have that are similar to yours are the powder blues and cubaris murina. I can agree that the cubaris are really cool. It’s cool that there are so many species. Thanks so much for sharing and I’m glad I discovered you guys. Take care n I hope to see more videos of isopods soon. Peace

Okay this was such a good video! Loved the editing and the clips you got of each colony! I would like to submit the name suggestions Emma Jr. and Josh Jr. (y'know, like the quote from Finding Nemo: "We'll call this half Marlin Jr., and this half Coral Jr.! Okay, we're done!" But name one single isopod Nemo.

Lol I'm gonna be honest. I had a bug phobia from as far back as I could remember until I was like 15, and they still make my skin crawl when I look at them. When I was 13, I got my first pet who ate worms, which was easier to deal with cause they were frozen worms and my axolotl was pretty good at cleaning all the food out of her water. And then when I turned 14 I got an african fat tailed gecko who ate crickets and meal worms because I really wanted one, and I wanted it enough to try and get over my phobia. It took me like a year to finally be able to feed her without my dad lol, and even then, and now for my other geckos, I don't touch them. I'm 17 now and I can't even imagine touching bugs so care free like you two do lol. I admire it.

Arid clean up crews are hard. You can use super worms for a basic additive. There are also certain species of beetle that will do well in arid setups. You can use isopods if you keep a moist spot under the water bowl or utilize a humid hide.

I have almost a dozen springtail cultures and no Isopods. Somehow my isopod colonies crashed and the springtails took over. I definitely did something wrong. I will try again "wild isopods" I will not be using them for any of my enclosures, I am only going to practice,u isopod care skills. I do have isopods in my crested Gecko enclosures, but since the cresties are better at Isopod care, they belong there,
