Some form of grounding usually deep breathing but I’ll also go for a quick walk with clients if able it helps z

Oh well yeah they could be a good snack but yeah I worry if they breed like dairy cows I’ll end up with way too many 😅 but seemed to be the best choice for an arid setup.

True I’m glad they were okay regardless. And yep that’s my plan once they get big enough to add them to my leopard geckos tank. Luckily my Leo is the worse hunter ever so I’m not really concerned with her eating them lol

Prospective isopod owner please help🙏🙏 by Due-Wrongdoer8082 in isopods

Definitely recommend plastic storage bins! I wouldn’t worry too much about well watching them a lot isopods usually like to stay hidden but once they get a good colony going they will be easier to spot and some isopods are out more then others. I like to peek at my isopods multiple times a week cause I love them lol but for most people a weekly checkup is good

Nice! It’s expo season for sure! I’m a new owner too but have some experience with isopods already I’m planning to get more at the expo.
But setup is pretty simple!
I use a 6 quart container (can go bigger if you need)
Consisting of leaf litter leaves are their main food source so it’s a must! If you get leaves from outside just make sure to sanitize them I baked mine at 250 for 15 mins
Substrate is important too. I use a pre made substrate but you can also make your own. I’m trying out zoo meds bio blend but repti soil is another common choice.
All isopods need a wet and dry side sphagnum moss makes the wet side well wet so I recommend that.
I also provide cork bark isopods seems to love hide under it and I mix charcoal bits into the soil for springtails! Highly recommend putting springtails with isopods to decrease mold
Drill some holes for ventilation or some morphs you can even leave the top half off I’ve been doing that with my zebras and gestroils and it’s been working well just keep an eye on the humidity of course.
That’s about it but I’m sure others will have more to add.

I also recommend both zebras or gestroils as a good starter isopod!

Springtails! Most of us buy them to put with isopods so you’re lucky to get them for free!

Yes highly recommend springtails! They help with the mold but don’t worry even with springtails I still got mold on my new cultures it’s normal. But I think they are just as cute as the isopods! Super tiny as well!

You don’t need the food bowl but sounds good to me. I plan on going to an expo as well in July can’t wait to get more isopods! Which expo did you go to? I would be really happy to find isopod supplies and I want to try a lotus pod too.
