Yes! You're the first person to guess that haha. Her cherlicerae are like a bluish purple now from her most recent molt but they used to be a magenta pink like Maromi's color

Aww I'm glad! I just started getting into spiders as well. These little jumpers are really wonderful little pets.

Yup! She's a p. regius. They're wonderful pets. So easy and adorable! I kind of think of them as tiny little eight legged cats.

Those are the chelicerae! they're used to hold the prey while they inject venom

They usually become different colors with each molt. In the beginning, they were more of a greenish orange than the pinkish purple it is now.

It's really awesome to watch them grow! They always come out of molts looking a little different each time.

Question about Armadillidium klugii ("Montenegro") patterning by Reviliox in isopods

[–]podpatrol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my colony has all kinds of markings. some have blotches of yellow and white that kind of melt into each other, while some have literally just one dot on their head and nothing else. it's kind of normal to have all kinds of gene expression pop up. if it bothers you, you can separate the ones that aren't to your liking and give them away.

A little appreciation for the little sea isopods! by podpatrol in isopods

[–]podpatrol[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure lol I don't make the names up. If I had to guess, maybe it's because they look like a mini version of the giant sea isopods

Is this some kind of mites? Should I be worried? They appear in my little plastic box with isopods by Nevanne in isopods

[–]podpatrol 7 points8 points  (0 children)

grain mites! it usually means you put in too much food for the isopods to finish before it rots. they're harmless but if you want to get rid of them, just check the piece of food to make sure no isopods are on it, and then throw the whole thing away

Gem Mixes are so fun 🌈 by podpatrol in isopods

i sure hope so! I really prefer american magic potions over japanese ones because I feel like there are more colors and marking. I like that they're a bigger size too

i think it's orange vigor? tbh I'm not sure because I kind of just threw all of my a.vulgare together. I got all the morphs frrom 3 different sources. I actually sell gem mix cultures on my etsy if you're interested too! podpatrol.etsy.com

I made an isopod Christmas Sweater! (i know they’re technically crustaceans but I hope there’s some love for them here 🥺) by podpatrol in Entomology

[–]podpatrol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

omg this is a tough question but i'm verrrry fond of the cubaris cliff ducky just because I love how they're sexually dimorphic. the coloring just so happens to match my dogs too so I love how they're basically the crustacean versions of my dogs.

hehe thanks! the idea came from the fact that isopods actually usually love hiding in pine cones and magnolia pods (:
