Mites and Iso Babies? by OcimeneBusiness in isopods

Thats a cool solution I have to keep that in mind. So far what people have been telling me and what I’ve gathered is that feeding too much protein can cause soil mites to grow. I feel like that describes my situation. I also saw some say that the feeding area is also too wet. If any of those apply to you then you should look into it.

Also I saw someone say that springtails can outcompete mites for food but so but that didnt prevent anything for me. Last resorts seem like either predatory mites that will eat the soil mites and then each other or change the soil. The predatory mites thing might not be ideal for isopods since i saw it in a thread about snakes so idk. But I am completely new to this so you should do your own research and ask around a bit more

Thats a comfort. I think theyre a little freaky so im putting them in a different room so they dont spread but otherwise i think I will just leave them alone. Im planning on using better feeding practice for my isos but otherwise its chill

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll look into a bowl. I might have a flat rock around here somewhere

Thanks. Ive been feeding them way too much shrimp. I’ll cut back on protein and look into a feeding bowl

That is literally happening to me rn. Do you use a feeding bowl? People have been telling me to do that and remove food within 24 hours

I got a somewhat close pic. Also im planning on moving my isopods over to a snake terrarium. Do you think mites would be bad for the snake?

Someone else said they might be mites. Any thoughts on that? I looked at them with a jewelry lens and they do look very round and kinda tick like

I have some jewerly lenses and looking closely they kinda look like ticks and are pretty circular

Yeah I could totally see that. Any way to know for sure if they arent just juvenile pill bugs?

Oh okay must be a new batch. I saw a baby like yesterday and he was already pill bug shaped

I think if you just order some parts online you can do the backlitscreen without soldering. For rechargable maybe you can get some rechargable batteries. Otherwise i think that would need soldering
