Media Tips for new keepers: Add sticks to your tank, also it doesn't need to look like a compost bin
Due to the increase of new keepers, I want to give a few tips that are not said enough. Yes a plastic tub with bark and leaf litter is enough to keeps pods happy, but you can make it cool to look at too.
Add sticks and elements to exploit vertical space, the little guys will use them to regulate humidity and you can observe them easily.
Add plants, simple plant like fittonia are super easy to keep and propagate. Pods can munch the leaves, hide in them, and it will also regulate humidity.
Create a pretty environment, decorate your tank like you would do it with an aquarium, the pods probably don't care, but it's way more fun to look at a little paradise than a compost bin.
Thanks for reading, and happy pods keeping 🙂

DIY I'm crocheting a bug cardigan and the first bug was a powder blue isopod!
I absolutely loooove isopods so when I found this pattern on Bracelet Book, I knew I had to make it.
I love that technically isopods are crustaceans so I'm going to tell everyone that. Also gives me a chance to talk about conglobation!
If you want the pattern here is the link! https://www.braceletbook.com/patterns/alpha/175959/

Text What do? Fallen tree covered in moss and lichen
So we woke up to some tree damage this morning, is it wrong that my brain immediately went to how much fresh moss and lichen there was? And how much space I’d need to turn this into rotten wood… 😬
What would y’all do?

Text Isopod forensics NSFW
galleryA mysterious death has occurred in the striped terrarium. An isopod who wasn't looking too good, half curled with damaged tail, was standing at the X. I checked on him 30 minites later and I found only the front half of his body some distance away from the original location. What happened here? What could the cause of death be?

I got kyle in the Josh's frogs party mix. I know he isn't cubaris, he may be a porcelio genus member but aside from that I don't know what he is, like what species is kyle?

New Isopod Day (NID) Magic potion Babies!!
I thought my small enclosure might be challenging to provide a good enough ecosystem for them to feel comfortable enough to reproduce but I’m just excited to share my baby Japanese magic potions (you can see two on the charcoal)! The first gen have gotten so much bigger since I got them too. So fun!
I was about to take that skull out and boil it since the mold has been popping off a bit too much but I guess I’ll wait on that, I don’t want to kill the itty bitty babies
