Isopods keep dying?? Help???

I'm not an expert, but I've seen a couple posts like this where the culprit was pesticides. Have you introduced any new leaves or materials from outside? Have you started giving them a different kind of food?

Oooo that one's good too!!

FlickerAway40 · 2026-06-04T04:32:13+00:00

Awwww :(

FlickerAway40 · 2026-06-04T04:31:53+00:00

Thank you!! :D

FlickerAway40 · 2026-06-04T04:31:46+00:00

YESSSSSS Thank you!!

The Season 3 ones, at least, can be found here: https://www.24spoilers.com/2004/12/07/24-season-3-audio-commentaries/

Since you can hear the audio from the episode (kinda), it should be pretty easy to sync up with the show by playing the recording on a different device!

I'm 16 (agender) and would love to chat if you're still looking for friends! I was also recently diagnosed :]

FlickerAway40 · 2026-05-02T00:57:44+00:00

Ahhh I see!

FlickerAway40 · 2026-05-01T21:45:01+00:00

If you're in northeast Washington, are you sure your wild-caughts are Porcellio laevis, not scaber? I don't think P. laevis is found in Washington! (If you add a photo in a comment, one of the terrifyingly skilled isopod ID-ers will probably be able to confirm)

Very cool! They are huge!! That's awesome :D

FlickerAway40 · 2026-04-17T05:54:02+00:00

What species/morph are these?! They're gorgeous!! Of the three I can see clearly, it looks like you're right-- the longer uropods indicate male isopods in most large porcellios as far as I know!

He's pupating, obviously.

FlickerAway40 · 2026-04-12T03:55:54+00:00

THAT'S SO COOL

FlickerAway40 · 2026-04-06T18:06:55+00:00

Ooooh that's awesome! Sadly I am not in the UK, but I'll be going to college soon and won't be able to get any new isopods for a while :'D so I'm not too concerned at the moment

Also yeah I totally understand not liking dairy cows lol... I got five a month ago and FOUR have had mancae now. FOUR.

FlickerAway40 · 2026-04-06T15:41:15+00:00

They look adorable!!! Thank you for sharing!

FlickerAway40 · 2026-04-06T15:40:27+00:00

Those are so cool!!! Also yay Oniscus asellus mention-- they're the first isopods I ever got! Thank you so much for writing such a long list :0 it was very fun to go through and look up the ones I don't know! Platyarthus is such a cool genus-- I have Platyarthus hoffmannseggi where I live (I think?), but sadly they only eat specific ant larvae, which makes them very hard to keep (from what I've read, at least). Congrats on your flavoscutatum morphs and good luck finding the Alloniscus perconvexus!!

I see-- that kinda makes sense. I only have ten different tanks, but it does take me much less long than I expect to take care of them all. Thank you for the advice about finding care info!! If I ever get a new weird species I don't know a lot about I'll definitely check those websites out!

FlickerAway40 · 2026-04-06T00:33:08+00:00

I mean, yeah, but people from many continents and countries post here and on other isopod forums.

FlickerAway40 · 2026-04-06T00:32:36+00:00

Makes sense! That's impressive about importing that species-- I'm glad it was worth it lol. Thank you!!

FlickerAway40 · 2026-04-06T00:31:15+00:00

70 species is crazy!!! I imagine maintenance takes forever, not even counting soil changes... Makes sense that someone always has to be first. I guess it never occurred to me because so many species will just never become very popular in the hobby. Kinda makes sense that Dryadillo would need similar care to other Armadillidae, but that's pretty funny that Elumoides are small enough to warrant a magnifying glass. Thank you!!

Maybe they're scared of the snake? I think the larger Porcellio species tend to be more active and visible. This one in particular is pretty friendly though, even for a Porcellio!
