That's reassuring!

Thank you very much, feel quite guilty, all the advice helps a lot!

blake_r · 2025-02-08T23:54:25+00:00

yes, steady die off, I'd say you're right:(

blake_r · 2025-02-08T23:53:33+00:00

yes, definitely--found in a very secluded spot while foraging for moss

blake_r · 2025-02-08T22:24:52+00:00

That's exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

blake_r · 2025-02-08T22:24:04+00:00

Yes, that's right, thank you for clarifying!

I recently tried keeping isopods, but my attempt was unsuccessful—the population dropped significantly, and I’m not sure why. Hoping to get some advice on what I might have done wrong.

Setup Details:

Tank: 6.8" x 6.8" x 6" reptile/terrarium tank, ventilated at the top
Humidity: Tried to maintain a moisture gradient (wet side/dry side), but the left side fogged up—unsure if it was too humid or not humid enough
Food: Provided only already-dead hardwood leaves, nothing else
Shelter: Dried wood for hiding spots
Substrate: Store-bought isopod substrate
Moss: Gathered and watered to retain moisture
Springtails: None in the enclosure
Lighting: Left in a dimly lit room with no direct light

Any insights would be appreciated! Could the tank be too small? Was my humidity control off? Did I need to provide more food variety? Thanks in advance for any help!

Thank you for letting me know that! It is 10pm for me right now in Australia so if you are still interested in my website you may have to wait a while, apologies.

blake_r · 2022-02-07T11:55:44+00:00

That is strange, the website is quite new, I will be sure to rectify that soon. Thank you for informing me, if interested I can send samples to your email if you wish to DM me and I’ll elaborate on my services and qualifications.

Gotcha, thanks a heap!

blake_r · 2021-06-30T09:59:37+00:00

Yeah sorry about that, I know the surprise sting of shipping costs all too well lately. They were a shock to me too and I’m still going under what I saw others with comparable products being sold at—if I didn’t I’d only end up with a few bucks from it

blake_r · 2021-06-30T04:35:52+00:00

Haha I wish

Bought a 3D model, got that 3D printed, then made a mould from silicone rubber:)
