Huge thanks for the shout!!! That shirt looks like a flavomarginatus! Agreed about the Zebras; they really are the most popular affordable isopod in the hobby.

Great video Wally! I think we tend to agree on most aspects of zebra isopod care. Zebras are definitely in my top 5 favorite isopods of all time...I agree, they must be the most popular affordable isopods in the hobby...deservedly so! Awesome shirt, too...P. flavomarginatus? 😁👍

you covered all what I wanted to know about the Zebra Isopods, especially on their enclosure size, thankyou!

I think zebras are cool because of the variation of color within them, like the chocolate zebra.

Always great knowledge on isopods

Thanks for the info Wally, this helps a lot.

Thank you for the help Wally great video

Thanks for this video Wally. Zebra are definitely on my wish list and I plan to get them sometime soon.

Thanks for the Shout-out!!! Much love and as always love the very informative videos!!!!

I learned so much in this video. Thanks for letting me know about the rotting wood not just cork.

This was very informative. I'm getting some zebras next week and this will help a lot

Thanks for the valueable info

Thanks for this video! I think it was done well and helps me understand now how to better care for my Zebras.

another great information filled vlog wow thank you for sharing

Love it brother! I have not been on much last two days! I like the light color stuff

I am super glad I have watched this. I am getting my zebras very soon. I am beyond new to the hobby and keeping different species of isopods, but not new to keeping pets and learning what they need to thrive, and just get by. I am now going to just give all my isopods wet and dry stations.

Great video, thank! Just ordered my first isopods and bought som zebras as well, they are stunning. Started looking at isopods just to have as a lean up crew for my tarantulas, but now I am getting quite obsessed with isopods, love them!

I love the zerba too great video

I’ll have to get some Zebras!

Hi. I’m a new subscriber as well as a new isopod hobbyists. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this info. I started with a culture of 30 Zebras 2 months ago and I’m now down to only 15 or so due to keeping their substrate too moist and too little ventilation. Unfortunately, because of their distinct coloration (and I think beauty) I only had experience with powder orange before getting these and treated them basically the same. I’ve received a couple more species since and a LOT more research regarding the requirements of each, but this video helped with the Zebras more than anything else I’ve found. Thank you so much.

They are looking really good our family just ordered our 1st zebras and this was all great info thanks!

Thanks for sharing Wally! Hope you get some Zebra's myself some day!

Great video Wally! I think the zebras and Montenegro are my favorite, although the magic potions are climbing up that list quickly lol

That shirt rocks Wally!

Thank you! I wondered about having a variety of woods. I use just cork for diary cows, my Zebras and clowns have Redwood and cork bark. They seem to really like the Redwood. As a CA isopod fan it's fantastic that they love my local favorite woods to visit 😀 😊

Oven baked leaf litter and sphagnum moss for me. Good video mate :)

Nice swag! Cool button and shirt.

What great information. I have a small culture.

One of my absolute favorites in my collection! I got mine from Peter at bugs in cyberspace. They took a while to start breeding but now, i have quite a few

nice

Last year I only had a couple of zebras. Now I have at least one or two dozen of them. They are super easy to raise--but take a long time. PS: I keep an egg shell in there so they can have a plentiful supply of calcium.

Thanks for the video! I am going to be conducting an experiment on zebra isopods. What would be a super cool hypothesis to test?

Who's keeping ZEBRAs

This was very helpful thanks for the tips, I've been successfully keeping zebras for about a year now but I noticed I would lose a few animals here and there and I most certainly was keeping them too wet by spraying the entire enclosure.

Definitely helpful! I feel like I'm going to do a lot better with my isos after watching these videos. Where is the best place to find the decaying wood? Do you collect it and heat-treat it, or is it available commercially?

do you have a video on making the isopod box? what is covering the holes?

Zebras! Zebras! Oy oy oy! ;) Gotta love the A. macs! :D I think 2nd most popular would be P. scaber due to their wide variety of colors and patterns available, and of course the P. laevis Dairy Cows. Heck, vulgare and nasatum are up there in popularilty too.

I'm always surprised to hear you mention using worm castings as substrate. I raise worms FOR their castings to use in plants as the nitrogen (among other things) is high. Could you elucidate on the benefits of using worm castings? How inportant is it to use hardwood leaves? I've been able to keep acquiring oak leaves, but you specify hardwood deciduous. Thanks Wally!

yo i love your show and wondering if u can tell me something , i raise desert scorpions so i added blue death feigning beetles to the cage to clean up the dead crickets and i want to add other isopods, zebras specifically but im no expert and im concerned that might not be the best choice. Which type would you recommend and would you add any other insects in such enclosures as well?

hello, thanks for the video ! very interesting ! I have a question; are zebra isopods diurnal or nocturnal ?

Go Zebras!

I would love the zebra’s

Ive found a majority of mine hang out in the moist end.

Christal would disagree. Dairy Cows!

Hi, first time isopod owner here! I have some questions for you: what humidity percentage should I keep them at? In my research I’ve seen that zebra isopods thrive at slightly drier humidities than millipedes and other isopods, but I can’t find a consistent/reliable humidity. Also, is misting at the surface good enough? Or at some point should I re-mist the entire “tub” worth of substrate?

Hi Wally. I'll have 6 pcs of zebra tom, do you think 6L is too large for them? Pls reply asap. Thanks

Do they hide a lot , I have a starter culture of 8 and I can only seem to find one

Zebras seem to prefer to use cork bark like apartments instead of as smorgasbords! Not that i blame them, it looks like it must be cozy to hide inside cork bark if youre a tiny isopod! They must think theyre very well hidden.

How often do you mist?

If I use sand with organic soil and dry leaves in a closed terrarium always moist is good or bad?

Tropical grey and Dwarf white seem to be the most common .

I'm a bit late to this video but i read that they like their temperature at 36 C (75 - 85 f) and my room temperature is usually around 21 - 23. how would you go about temperature, does it matter that much? thinking about getting some heating pad or similar. Oh and how are they doing today, really curious and thanks for the video.

I’d really like to start keeping Zebras, but if you’re keeping them as pets, how on earth do you handle the fact that they keep multiplying? I’m probably the only person interested in isopods who doesn’t want them to breed so much…what you DO with all of them?

Hi Wally :)) Thanks for the info...Im wondering if zebras (or any isopods) do better in groups or does it matter? I just bought some zebras, pulled them out to put them in their new container, and I saw babies in the small deli cup they came in. I do not want to use the substrate in the deli cup as Ive seen a few fungus flies. Is it ok to grow these babies in their deli cup til they are bigger then move them with the adults? Can I keep the containers in a paper grocery bag or something to control the fungus flies? Thanks a lot !

What is the food you are feeding?

I would vote for the Dairy Cows.

Are zebras as active as the dairy cows?

Can i use coco fiber dirt?

Thanks for the video! I’m planning to make a giant closed terrarium, depending on the ventilation level will they be suitable for an aquarium fish tank size closed terrarium as clean-up crews?

My vote was either dairy cows or zebras

I think, armadillidium is the best

powdered orange hides a lot , but it is hardy colony

Zebras is Correct!!!!!

Dairy cow Porcielio leavis

Where do you get the Wood

Armadillidium Vulgare, because they are available everywhere. Beyond that, I would have no idea. My reason is because it is like when Super Mario Brothers came with the NES video game system, everyone with the game system, owns the game, so the game is automatically the most commonly owned for the NES.

Dairy cows and zebras are very affordable. I would never get rubber duckies--not only are they shy they cost too much that can represent losing that much money.

I think the most popular, affordable isopods right now, 2022, I think is dairy cows.

Isopods prone from ants??

Dairy Cows!

I just caught a pair of my new zebra isopods mating and wasn't sure if they were reproducing or practicing their rear choke hold. The male is a bit on the small side so he's not really "hitting the mark" when mounting the larger female, so he's riding her around like a rodeo bull while trying his damnedest to reach the target lmao XD
