I loved to play with rolly pollies when I was a kid, then we moved south to an area that didn’t have them. I’m seriously considering starting a culture just so I can play with them again lol.
I actually found one of these In my garden once when I was 6. I looked at its belly and I was like oh woah she’s pregnant, I made her a pirate ship out of cardboard to live on and I named her rapunzle. A few days later there were 100s of little babies just crawling all over. They are my fav bugs still now
My brother used to love these when he was little and didn't tell anyone that he put two in a Tupperware with a wet paper towel.... And then forgot about them for MONTHS. They were so happy and absolutely exploded in numbers.
I’ve had pill bugs with my snails and in a couple of months they started to reproduce like crazy hundreds of them in a couple of months and I’ve only had them for almost a year
May I humbly suggest Armadillo officinalis? They are quite large, look like tiny busses and become spherical and hiss when you disturb them. They take some time to grow up and reproduce, but studies suggest they might get quite a lot older than your average isopod, and that’s pretty cool if you ask me!
@@victoriameredith629 yeah you can hear them! But You gotta disturb them quite some before they get to that level of distress. I’ve had mine for four months and have heard it once.
@@kacperplays8425 no isopods would harm a snake but you'd probably want one of the cheaper ones that produce fairly quickly I think my leachie tank is full of powder blues and they're great
Thank you Ed and Emily for slowly getting me to love all the creatures I was squeamish off: snakes, spiders and now bugs. Your enthousiasm to teach is lovely to see, the facility will be such an awesome place to do that and I wish I didn’t live so far away (europe) so I could visit.
Ok, I HAD to look up Rubber Ducky isopods just to see what they look like and cuz I thought "come on, how expensive can they be?" They are absolutely adorable, but $100-$130 for just 5?!🤯
Me too! I've always loved them, but just recently decided to keep some as pets. I'm trying to find a way to ID the different species though -- I've found at least 3 species, and 2 more that could be either different species or just morphs.
When I was growing up I always saved them from my grandmas garden before big storms, I’d get like a bucket and put it over where they lived, I don’t know if it worked but it was the thought that counted! I was like 3 lol 😂
I looove isopods. The ones I have currently are zebra, clown, reds and dairy cow Isopods! Ones I recommend (and that I also personally want to get in the future) are Armadillidium magic potions and Porcellio hoffmanseggi. Magic potions are very pretty and breed quite well. The Hoffs can grow to nearly 2 inches or more and they also show some parental instincts, they will guard the babies after they are born and even bring them food. Such fascinating little creatures! On a semi related note, check out Pill Millipedes! Due to Convergent Evolution they evolved the exact same defense as armadillidium species entirely separate from them! They aren't even closely related! Bugs are so neat.
Also I recommend giving them a source of calcium like cuttle fish bone. It helps them to molt easier so they grow quicker and start breeding sooner. :)
I got curious and looked into whether giant isopods are difficult to keep and found that the Florida Keys Aquarium has an open air tank where guests are encouraged to put their hand in and interact with giant isopods. All that seems to be required is 50 degree water and one would assume some specific water conditions. They don't seem to have to be kept at any specific pressure.
I personally keep porcellio scabers, wild types and Calicos/marbled. I get them from around my house, daily I can find 10 - 20 isopods which is pretty cool :) they are so fun to take care of and they are easy, I highly recommend them if you want a pretty cool pet Edit: I just got my first lava :0
Before I watched your channel I would have never given Isopods or insects a chance. They're really starting to grow on me. Thank you Ed and Emily for doing all that you do to bring education to people about these lovely little creatures
I like to think moody has little council meetings with the isopods under the water bowl. Planning the neighborhoods, the food, how to escape, stuff like that😂
My favourite has always been the “Dairy Cow” isopods because i think they are super cute. Of the ones you showed, I love the Calico and the Dalmatian types, and the peach ones. But really, all of them are so awesome

We have the giant canyon isopods where I live, in Erie, co, and I have caught some who are pregnant and they actually gave birth like 5 minutes after I caught them.

I’ve got “dairy cow” isopods! I just noticed this week that the very smallest baby podlings can escape their exoterra terrarium and they dry up and die in the barren wasteland that is my dresser top 😢 Idk how to stop it. My culture is still going strong but it’s sad to think of the podlings getting lost and dying of exposure
have you tried to use a very thin mesh[like mosquito netting] or cheesecloth to cover their airholes? it should still let enough air through. but should hopefully be small enough holes to not let the babies out
I watch all your videos with my Banana Pastel Ball Python, named Pretzel. He doesn’t know he is a ball python lol. He thinks he is arboreal, he tries to burrow, he almost never hides in his caves and he never balls up. He’s also a ravenous eater.

The belly scales are probably tougher to eat and that's why they avoid them.
Exactly what I thought, snakes bellies touch the surface they slither on, so their belly scales need to be tougher.

bobux 👁👅👁
They are incredibly hard to keep and very slow to reproduce. I tried my hand at some when they were $50 for 8 and they did not make it :c
I saw ur comment and gotta agree but that lead me to Thailand spikey isopods and those are 350 PLUS FOR LIKE 5 THATS INSANE
I’ve started collecting them from outside to selectively breed. It’s been very fun! There’s so much variety!
Me too! I've always loved them, but just recently decided to keep some as pets. I'm trying to find a way to ID the different species though -- I've found at least 3 species, and 2 more that could be either different species or just morphs.
The orange + dalmatian should be called Koi because they look like Koi fish!
That’s my calico cats name!
I agree, but mainly because in the show fish hooks there’s a koi
They actually have koi morph of scaber. Orange and regular. Several colors of dalmatian also.
Or Creamsicles!
Flip just made a comment like this🤣 I did not see this comment when I made it but I will remove it if you would like me too
Who else think they should make a shirt that says “you can’t cry over spilled milkback” with a isopod on it
Thank you sooooo much for the likes!!
and the isopods should be spilling out of a cup or milk carton!
Then it has the milkback on the back of the shirts
Coollll!!
Y’all are amazing!

The way you guys drew in isopod features in that one box... it's so cute.
Y’all should get Cubaris murina “little sea” or, if you can spare the money, Porcellio hoffmanseggi - which get bigger than the giant canyons!

YOU SHOULD CALL THE ORANGE x DALMATIAN ONES THAT ARE ORANGE AND WHITE CREAMSICLE ISOPODS!!!!!
Seconding 'Creamsicles' as a name for them!! 😆
The big one that you can find in the ocean are called "Bathynomes Géants" in Guadeloupe and we eat them.
I bet they’re tasty. Every crustacean I’ve ever tried has been delicious.
All I can imagine is kronk from emperors last grove cooking giant pill bugs in that random cafe

They’re very popular (and expensive) in Asia.
