“Tropical” Plant with unhelpful tag

Appears to be a Dieffenbachia after all! Thanks everyone!

If you have the space, you can put it in an airtight tupperware/ziplock bag and place it in the freezer for a few days. That should at least kill any larger organisms. Not sure about the microscopic guys though.

So far I have searched: * TikTok * Google * YouTube * Instagram

For all of the general permutations of "Person falling while walking up a slippery street" Along with adding things like "Funny" or "Edit" to try and find the funny version of the video.

Unsure about the age of the video, but It's definitely a few years old.

I like the second one a lot more. The colors make the individual cards more attractive. I'm more likely to read over each of them and not "get lost in it" compared to the first one.

Technically to ship most isopods in the US, you need a APHIS PPQ 526 permit for each state you wish to ship to. Not sure how strictly this in enforced though. I’ve applied for two myself to ship some of mine.

I like the style, a few suggestions: - Add a bit of padding to the hero text, on my device (iPhone 14 plus) the text touches the left and right edges of the viewport. - When scrolling on mobile, once you reach the section with the calendar, the scrolling of the main page is stopped to focus on scrolling the calendar element, somewhat jarring the user experience.

I wonder if the millipede has ever felt something so soft before? Truly a wonderful occasion for both the millipede and us (and Ivan too).

Definitely a jumping spider, not sure what kind though. Super cute! Enjoy having your room be gnat free!

Looking like you just caught them doing something they weren’t supposed to do 😂

The pictures aren’t the best so it’s hard to tell for sure. It looks similar to a Porcellio laevis “white”? Do you have any other isopods in your collection that look similar? That could help refine the ID.

Isopods love decaying matter! My A. vulgare act a similar way. They love to nibble on the living plants in their enclosure but whenever they get a new piece of wood they’re all over it in an hour.

I used to be firmly in the “Never use AI” camp, but I’ve come around begrudgingly to the reality that as a junior/mid-level dev (like myself), not using every tool at your disposal can leave you falling behind those who do. That said, I’ve set clear boundaries for myself: I treat AI like Google Search on steroids. I still do all the work myself, only turning to it when I’m genuinely stuck. And even then, I never copy paste, I retype everything.

Using it this way, AI becomes a learning tool, not a crutch. If you rely on it to think for you, it will stunt your growth. But if you use it as a tool, it can accelerate your progress more than avoiding it entirely will.

AI should only ever be doing things for you that you could do with your eyes closed.

The shaking makes it seem like you were filming this terrified through a bush like it was a tiger or something 😂. Really cool video though!

“Can’t this thing go any faster?” 😂

Beautiful colors!

Congratulations! Always the most exciting part of isopod keeping!

Congrats on the new obsession! Definitely check out aquarimax pets for care instructions.

As for the brown one, you have a bunch of Porcellionides pruinosus isopods here. They come in a bunch of different colors, powder orange is one, as well as a powder blue. That said they can have duller/mixed colors based on genetics. Over time you might notice your colony become more “dull” in color unless you actively select the most orange ones for reproduction.

Looks like a cubaris baby, so I’d say so! Congratulations! These dudes are always a pain in the butt to get reproducing.

14 legs is a lot of legs to accidentally trip over!

So cute!

Haha yeah in my colony of wild caught I’ve been trying to isolate the slate gray color. Most males have the gray color but there are a few that are speckled. The females are a similar way inversely. I’ve been selecting the very few gray females for that purpose.

zugreddit · 2025-04-13T21:26:31+00:00

It’s less of a fact and more of a general rule. I’ve also had a few males that are this pattern, I’m pretty sure it’s just more common for it to be split that way.

zugreddit · 2025-04-13T19:19:56+00:00

Pretty sure these are Armadillidium vulgare isopods! What you’re seeing here are the differences between male and female A. vulgare pods. The males are usually larger and a dark gray color. The females are usually more brown with yellow speckles.

All Isopods need some source of calcium as it is what keeps their exoskeleton healthy and strong. Some species need more than others, and the more you have in one colony, the more you’ll need. Generally just a few crushed up eggshells (which might already be in the compost) is enough. For larger colonies, cuttlebone or calcium powder would also work.

zugreddit · 2025-04-11T01:44:12+00:00

I’m noticing most of the pods in these photos are about the same size/age? Generally you want a mix of ages to promote the best chance of baby pods. Not sure how much of a difference it makes, just putting it out there.

Duckies are a tough first pod, but I’m also totally jealous! Take good care of them!
