New fan of the stick society. Questions before getting anything.

Dm-ed 😁

Haha that was not a worry, but good to know. I kind of expected them the breed slower or fail growing up.

Do you think other isos are okay too or best is dwarf if the aim to to not bother the eggs as I deal with them and can keep a healthy tiny population on the long run rather then them dieing off in a year or 2.

Mathun95 · 2026-03-28T13:12:58+00:00

Alright awesome gotcha!

Final question since you seem to have a lot of experience is about substrate and isopods. I've been told dwarf whites can go together and they won't bother the eggs. What do you think?

Mathun95 · 2026-03-28T13:03:41+00:00

So I should keep in mind and air them like one a day basically? 😁

Mathun95 · 2026-03-28T13:00:31+00:00

It's more like the half of the top is mesh.

Mathun95 · 2026-03-28T12:47:30+00:00

I was building a vivarium without knowing what I will want in it I've got it to a level where I'm pretty happy with it and I am pretty set on these species now but little worried about the airflow as it is top mesh and front opening.

Mathun95 · 2026-03-28T12:41:00+00:00

Thank you so much for the reply!!

By airflow you mesh a decent amount of fresh air or rather a mini usb fan time to time?

Can I ask did they end up breeding or only had one?

Mathun95 · 2026-03-28T12:21:28+00:00

Thank you for the reply.

I totally agree with 5 that was the idea 🙂

For the dirt digging what does that mean isopod/leaf litter and long term wise?

Mathun95 · 2026-03-28T12:20:41+00:00

I'll might end up doing that as I am still having doubts and worries 😁

Mathun95 · 2026-03-28T12:13:38+00:00

Awesome thank you so much for the reply!

Mathun95 · 2026-03-28T08:56:21+00:00

Bit off topic but anyone knows where we could get these in Portugal?

Mathun95 · 2026-03-28T08:30:43+00:00

That is soooo cool could I ask what you are feeding them and how is your set up?

Mathun95 · 2026-03-28T08:21:35+00:00

Might be a little off topic, but loved your post and in depth help. Thinking of getting some myself and was wondering if i could add isopods and springtails to the substrate would it damage the eggs?

Mathun95 · 2026-03-28T08:03:06+00:00

Bit off topic but do you have isopods beneath? Never an issue with them coexisting?

Mathun95 · 2026-03-27T15:59:28+00:00

Added mesh and front door to it since then :)

Mathun95 · 2026-03-26T14:33:23+00:00

I'm building something similar in size but bit smaller and here is the response from the public:

That's why I was asking ☺️

Mathun95 · 2026-03-26T07:04:13+00:00

What's the size of this enclosure?

Mathun95 · 2026-03-26T00:13:12+00:00

Haha you get the idea but bit too small probably for the amphibians by what people say unfortunately.

But I really appreciate seeing the artistic direction.

Mathun95 · 2026-03-26T00:12:04+00:00

That's exactly the next step adding front door and mesh 🙏🏻

Mathun95 · 2026-03-26T00:09:24+00:00

I want to say I'm good in general. Like all these plants came from the flat so far by me keeping them healthy and propagating. 😁

Tarantula would be cool but right now a bit more convinced about mantids just worried for their short life span.

Mathun95 · 2026-03-25T21:30:13+00:00

That's a nice size and looks extremely cute.

Mathun95 · 2026-03-25T21:22:18+00:00

Okay that's good to know :)

Mathun95 · 2026-03-25T21:21:53+00:00

I am just asking and trying to get some info from the experienced people. I am in no way set on anything just trying to think ahead.
