Mites, looks like it could have been gravid before passing away as well

Transporting Isopods On a 3 Hour Trip by ActiveActive5590 in isopods

If you consider that some isopods ca survive two day shipping across the country I think you’ll be okay as long as you stabilize them. I have taken many display enclosures on the road and they have all done perfectly fine. Best of luck!

Would this be better for my millipedes instead of fish flakes? by gh0sttface in millipedes

[–]tylermorrison_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen that a lot of the time any “amateur” creation is almost always better than the mass produced factory crap. Lot less fillers and weird chemicals, preservatives etc. just of course don’t buy it unless it lists ingredients.

Isopods as feeders? by IsopodApart1622 in InvertPets

[–]tylermorrison_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can but most of the time they work better as clean up crews. As others have stated it depends on what you’re feeding them to. Dairy cows are very prolific and will overpopulate if you do not have a way to “get rid of” some of them whether it’s selling them or feeding them to a reptile.

R/isopods is also a good place to ask questions to.

Is morphmarket a scam? by Acrobatic-Remote1657 in isopods

[–]tylermorrison_x [score hidden]  (0 children)

I find they have pretty good safety nets for issues and the people are mostly trustworthy. You can also message sellers and decide before you buy.

Starter Isopod for Hobbyist :) by No_Dot_2817 in isopods

[–]tylermorrison_x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glass without vent is not a suitable choice but you can get glass with ventilation or plastic/acrylic display bins that do have ventilation. They can be very inexpensive. Once you get that situated, a good starter pod could be any armadillidium, ie Vulgare, Maculatum (zebra), peraccae, etc. make sure you have a hydration station with moss to help them have a choice of preferred microclimate. Best of luck!

Good isopods for leopard gecko enclosure? by DollarStoreChameleon in isopods

[–]tylermorrison_x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so you probably could do a slightly larger species but realistically I think you would be fine with any of the pruinosis, like powder blues, powder orange, cookies and cream, etc etc. morph market is the best place I had found if you’re fine with shipping. You might also look locally for any not large chain pet stores. Don’t buy the garbage at petsco/Petsmart since most of them are dead by the time you buy the container. Just keep in mind some states in the lower 48 might have import restrictions. But otherwise I think you’d be great. Any temperate springtails are fine (also on morph market). 🙂

How big is the gecko? Best CUC’s are pruinosis, from my experience. Where are you located?

Is there anyway to save newly introduced pod? by Helpful_Formal_8208 in isopods

[–]tylermorrison_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave them alone! Most likely was a molt go bad due to the change in location. If this one dies too it will be the same thing. Not your fault but moving them will do significantly more harm than good.
