First off I'M VERY SORRY for the buzzing feedback throughout the video. I did my best to try and get rid of it in post, but I could only do so much. I was having issues with my mic/camera and almost didn't upload the video because of it. I figured the show must go on. If you can't watch because of it I understand. Anyways enjoy the ispods (rollies pollies, pill bugs, potatoe bugs, woodlice) or whatever you like to call them. Personally I like “pill bugs” as that's what we said as kids, but I'm curious what you call them. Let me know! Also check out the video description for links/information.
Everything you upload is a gift. I'm getting my first two aquariums from some family friends who don't want them anymore (a 20gal and a 56gal!) and am planning to keep some fun communities in natural scapes. Was thinking of doing a sweetpotato roots tank for the 20, after seeing one online. Will definitely be a fun project! Thanks again for the lovely videos and inspiration Tanner (:
I just want to thank you because my whole view of isopods has done a 180 after seing your videos. Now whenever I find one in my house, instead of being grossed out, I scoop it up and put it in my terrarium and it's so satisfying watching them take care of any fallen leaves or bits of debris.
Super excited to see what you have in mind for the new setup in your animal room, your rebranding, and more pond videos. You have such a smart and creative mind and are always producing something new and exciting for your channel. I struggle with severe anxiety and I am pregnant right now, so it has been even worse. To combat all of the sickness I feel, I watch your videos almost everyday as they relax me and keep my mind off of how I am feeling. Thank you for all that you do and I hope you continue to love creating these wonderful videos!
I once found a pretty common one, but it was completely blue. But I didn't know how to care for them, so I let it go of course. In dutch they're called "pissebedden" which kinda means bed-wetters.
Do you have to do any maintenance on the colonies? I’ve always liked rolypolies. They’re the only bugs I like, and they’re a crustacean, not even an insect! 😆 I loved the “Yellow Panda” on the poster
Very cool video, you actually made me thinking about getting Isopods ^^ They look really cool, hope you can expand your collection as well and i'm thrilled for future updates! Just wanted to say that i love your content, its so nice to see someone care so much about plants and all different kinds of animals! God bless you and your wife! :) Greetings from Germany!
I've always had a little bit of a fascination with isopods, or, as we call them here in West Virginia, potato bug, and would regularly catch them, and observer them for a little while. But, after learning more and more about them, the fascination had increased tremendously. I never knew there were so many types out there, and they look very different from one another. Anyway, very cool video on the isopods, and I can't wait to see what more you do with your animal room.
I really like how dark knight exotics used Histrionicotoxin 283A as part of their logo. It’s one of the many Histrionicotoxins found in the skin of poison dart frogs from Colombia. 0:51
@Timothy Newitt I'm no expert, but as far as I can gather, the name is due to their appearance near or on wooden benches, and the fact that they digest and break down wood - often the bench itself. We have several frequently used bench/seating designs that use untreated wooden logs.
I am glad you decided to upload the video. Isopods were one the first bugs I played with as a child. Had I known the huge variety, I may have become an avid collector. Thanks for bringing back great memories!
I love you man! There's this awesome side of you that you show us in these videos and it just leaves me so happy, I've been writing things down and trying to get some pillbugs for myself and making a nice little home for them. Can't wait to see more of you ;D
love your videos, love how enthusiastic you are and the amount of amazing care you give your animals. I recently collected some local isopods (woodlice) and already have tons of tiny babies.
Love your channel so much! I can't have animals where I live, but it's a wonderful consolation to see you taking such good care of yours. They looks so happy and healthy. :) Thanks for sharing your talent and expertise.
Like your channel a lot. I learn something from every video I watch. You’ve made collecting creatures an art form. And taken it to heights I could never have imagined. Very well done! Thank you! 💎
You are an amazing man! I love how you talk about ISOPODS. Since childhood i liked those roly polies, never knew there is such a great variety. That poster is beautiful!
Thanks for sharing this video! The audio feedback isn't bad no worries :) We called them rollie pollies growing up lol, I'm so happy to see other people who appreciates isopods as much as I do
Aaaaay, I've been following the photographer on Insta for a while and saw his posts about making that poster. Pretty awesome to see it pop up, and be credited, here. :D
Greetings from France. Congratulations for the amazing terras and a great channel. I'm learning a lot and I'am amazed but the beautiful landscapes you are creating. Top job. Cheers
For future isopod bins, I strongly suggest using a wood burner to melt the hole and not a drill. I used to use a drill but since moving to a wood burner I never risk cracking the plastic and my holes look a lot cleaner in my opinion.
I love watching all of your videos I’ve been watching you for over a year now and you have really got me excited about a lot of different now terrariums
I used to be scared of them whenever I'd see them in the nature, but since I found out how good they are for the plants and the soil, I kinda think they're cool :) like spiders. The first ones you showed looked so awesome, like terrestrial shrimps hahah
You being a fish guy as well will appreciate something like a small amazon puffer or some kind of puffer fish assuming you can house one. I used to feed my puffer isopods, and since isopods are basically a shrimp, they can survive submerged in water and walk around the tank for quite some time. My puffer would love these, and you could hear the crunching from the outside of the tank when he would eat... I have had a few puffers, but the Amazon puffer was my favorite. I think you should get one someday! would be fun to watch
Since I was a child, I had always really like isopods. I never think about keep some guys at home, I was thinking people find me weird enougth when I say how much I find them SO CUTE AND INTERESTING! And now that I know you and you show us that... Oh my god I have so much ideas in mind now... I just want know much more about them and try ton find some to invite in my next studio.
Great video, didn’t knew there were so many of them. In my country they are called “cochinilla”, is used to collect them when I had my aquarium-terrarium. Keep it going with the videos.
2:05 @SerpaDesign Tanner, do you moisten the cardboard at all, or will the isopods eat it dry? Also, I recall seeing somewhere-maybe one of your videos-about isopods having particular moisture needs, so dampened substrate is needed. As always, great video! Keep up the wonderful work you do.
really nice additions to your collection ^-^ i have 4 Isopod colonies (A.Klugii Montenegro, Porcellio laevis Orange, Porcellio laevis Panda and porcellio Hoffmannseggi
Hey... Your works are really great and inspiring... I have been following your channel for long time and learned a lot from your work... By the way I have a question here... Is it really important to mix up the soil with spangnam moss as you do it to retain moisture?? As here in my locality it is difficult to get some... And also want to know if i can use simple garden soil to make my terrerium??
I have a terrarium of Rolie Polies, and I've just discovered that they've had babies. I had these for MONTHS and only found out yesterday, lol. Now, I can officially call it a colony 😁
Besides the look of the isopods, are there reasons to choose one species over the other? Are there certain species that do a better job of cleaning than others? Are there certain groups of species that, in combination, clean the setup more thoroughly than one species on its own?
What exact kind of substrate do you use for your isopods? Your rubber ducky isopods? Do every type of isopods have the same care? I really want to Get rubber ducky isopods! They are so amazing!
My grandson kept bringing them into the house last summer and putting them into all the houseplants!! After watching your videos we are going to do a terrarium project so they will not be escaping!!
I always enjoy your videos. Did you make videos of how you built the racking system? I dont know if I missed it. If you didnt, i would enjoy seeing a detailed video about it!
Hi Serpa! Because of all of your amazing videos, I set up a bioactive paludarium for my Cuban Knight Anole, Calypso. Everything is going swimmingly except the fact that she ate the Betta fish that was sharing space with her and is now devouring my isopods instead of the food I am trying to feed her lol. I love your fancy isos but I am so afraid that Calypso would just eat them that I have resorted to just catching them and earthworms in my garden instead of buying them.
Can the isopods and springtails climb glass? I ask because I have a nice big glass bowl that I want to use for a terrarium though it doesn't have a lid. The plan is to add them, but if they're just going to climb out, it won't be worth the effort.

Roly Polys
SerpaDesign hey do you think I will need isopods with springtails for a Bioactive enclosure for a crested gecko
They're called woodlice here in the UK.
Где купить этих изоподов?
Your audio jack or cables attached are knackered.
The buzzing isn't an error its the isopods sending hidden messages to other isopods that might be watching.
One part says *"help our kind escape"*
Person The Persom I disagree I think they’re trying to tell us which are the best entry points in Area 51
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ohhh I see what it says now
Can confirm.
Source: I am an isopod
Fun fact: Isopods are closer related to shrimps and lobsters than they are to insects.
The_Great McGnome oh
Yeah true, they're not insects or even bugs at all. They're crustaceans!
@@lizardqueen99 so..land dwelling crustaceans..awesome!
@@c.dub6721 yeah there's a few types of crustaceans that are terrestrial. Look up coconut crabs lmao
That is what I thought!
I love that Tanner just casually keeps 11 species of isopods. Fantastic!
Most Isopod keepers have more than that so its pretty normal
How are the Rubber Duckie isopods doing?
I was also thinking of them. They are my favorite. So cute.
I thought you were just at the wind-up till I Googled it... I was like wow... how cool are they B-)
Oh my god they are ridiculous, thank you for introducing me to them

Who else used to dig up these little guys in the garden. I used to called them rollie pollies😀
I missed me!!! Once me and my siblings dug up up a bunch and put them on the side walk trying to ‘herd’ em
Yep
I used to collect the 'pill bug' type in a bucket. I only liked the ones that rolled into a perfect little ball tho
Me too!! I didn't like handling most bugs but loved holding roly-polies! They're cute little guys with funny little faces.

It had a virus then, ik ben ook Nederlands whaha, ik heb een hele kolonie pissenbedden
Problably because of a iridovirus bur some marine isopodes are naturaly blue

funny i really liked the king panda
Yep, keep it moist. Ventilation, a cuttle bone, all organic no pesticides, with organic food, banana chips, mushrooms etc
So cute! We call them 'slaters' where I'm from in Scotland. Looking forward to all your new projects!
Wow that's a new one to me! I've never heard that one before.
We call them Slaters in Australia too

I can definitely tell your videos are getting better. The pond one was amazing! this one too, Keep up the good work!
I'm very excited for the future of your channel. Also love the poster, I would totally get something like that if I was more into isopods.

I had a colony of isopods but I went to the hospital and my grandmother threw them out because she thought it was only dirt in the container.😓

Always been a big fan of isopods, so these variants were awesome to see! I am excited for your channels future.
I just love that set up! So calming watching fish and plant and other species in your habitats.

In my country, Denmark, we call them bench-biters.
that's english
@@milfordcubicle9950 thanks buddy. I assumed you'd be unable to pronounce "bænkebidere".

they eat decaying wood, and benches are sometimes made of wood.
in england we call em "belly button beetles"
I really enjoyed this! Isopods are my favorite. Thanks for the detailed information. ✌😆
a isopod and a bl fan respect bro

You're a Big Hit!

Excited for all the updates coming up on the channel. I've been subbed forever and love the journey you've given us so far!
I’m not a huge fan of insects, but isopods have a special place in my heart. They’re so cute.
Nice justin and Peter are good people. Couple of local frog and isopod keepers
love your videos, love how enthusiastic you are and the amount of amazing care you give your animals. I recently collected some local isopods (woodlice) and already have tons of tiny babies.

Beautiful once again. Every time I see the wall. Beautiful
You are an amazing man! I love how you talk about ISOPODS. Since childhood i liked those roly polies, never knew there is such a great variety. That poster is beautiful!

Yes! More isopods please! I have a feeling they will become as popular with people who keep reptiles as dwarf shrimp did with fish keepers.
Oh you have done a beautiful job on your Tank room!!!! I love it
oh that is SOOO COOL! locked me in, in the first 30 seconds. I'm glued to my seat.
Finally youtube is recommending the content I actually want to see!

Those future plans sounds really exciting! Another pond? Well, I'm glad i can just sit back and watch you do the work... ;)
i love isopods!!! they're all so cute. i used to call them rollie pollies as a kid but now i just refer to the ones here as woodlice!
I LOVE those Armadillidium Montenegro (clowns) and of course, your Rubber Duckies!!!!!!
every video you post shows so much improvement
I have no idea who this guy is or why UA-cam kept recommending this video to me, but I love how enthusiastic he is about all his creatures!
Hi Tanner, this is cool. I've never thought isopods are so interesting to keep. And surprised there are so many of them. Thanks for this video
I always knew them as woodlouse or woodlice but since watching your videos I now affectionately refer to them as isopods or isobugs 🤪👍
I love watching all of your videos I’ve been watching you for over a year now and you have really got me excited about a lot of different now terrariums
I've seen huge 'woodlouse' in my garage, larger than then ones at 4:30. They're around 1 inch or longer. Never seen such big ones before!
I used to be scared of them whenever I'd see them in the nature, but since I found out how good they are for the plants and the soil, I kinda think they're cool :) like spiders.
The first ones you showed looked so awesome, like terrestrial shrimps hahah
Same but i still would not touch them with hands... Imagining them walking on my fingers gives me goosebumps 😫
Amazing isopods, the giant ones are so cool! Good luck on the rack and the new pond, love your videos as always!
Those are so cool! I had no idea there were so many varieties of isopods!
Nice vid, fun to see the isopods! Excited to see the upcoming updates! :D
Love the video about the isopods! More of them please! Keep up the great videos!
isopods are one of the coolest creatures. good luck with the colony tanner.
Yeeees my Montenegros and my Dairy Cows are probably my FAVORITE of my pod species! They're so damn cute!
excited for all the changes coming!!
I'm really excited to see how your channel grows :)
That poster is so cool. The isopods are too, ha ha, we call them "Woodlouse or Woodlice" here in the UK.
Looking forward to the new builds. I really like the metal corners on the enclosure doors.
Love the ghost ones! Who knew they were so many different kinds?!
Holy cow that last isopod is huge!! Love them all! Am thinking to start a colony of my own
Did you just say “ I have a coupon for you guys to get 15%off your purchase, I don’t make any commission off of it” You’re amazing

I love the new isopods, and the poster. I never even knew there were that many species
Over here in the uk I’ve got to say i love your content and find it very interesting and informative
Learn a lot bout isopods. The rubber duckie still in my mind. Thank you!
Your videos are so cool! I'm binge watching. Thanks for everything you do!
Everybody’s gangster till giant isopod walks into your room and locks the door.
Great video, didn’t knew there were so many of them. In my country they are called “cochinilla”, is used to collect them when I had my aquarium-terrarium. Keep it going with the videos.
You are my inspiration! A true role model for us all natural lovers!
Getting excited over pillbugs. I love that!
The ghost isopods are my favorite! How cool!!
please do more videos about isopods, I love all the little fellas
I love all your camera angles by the way 😊

Hi Serpa! Because of all of your amazing videos, I set up a bioactive paludarium for my Cuban Knight Anole, Calypso. Everything is going swimmingly except the fact that she ate the Betta fish that was sharing space with her and is now devouring my isopods instead of the food I am trying to feed her lol.
