im feeling chatty.

i dont currently plan to get more isopods but dreamy species (that are actually within reach. So none of those adorable spiky ones like shiny gators, ancient gators, thai spikies... Just absurdly expensive and hard to get) are uhhhh:

armadillidium cf espanyoli “marbelized”

(pic source) i just loooove the patterning its so pretty ive seen some really stunning ones in pictures too. theyre really tiny apparently. i already think my cappuccinos are tiny and theyre like twice the size of the marbles from what i can tell. itd be cool to have more Sizes u kno. these are the most tempting to me like if i was looking for another species to keep or if i had more room. itd definitely be these. great combo of beautiful pod and not so expensive or notoriously hard to work with or anything.

porcellio expansus “orange”

(pic source) theyre BIG fuckers!!!! not as big as hoffmanseggi but preddy big and very flat and i like their big exopods/uropods (?) (the funky tail things the guys have longer ones of) allso. isolated from the general porcellio expansus from spain which is sometimes calld the beetlejuice isopod and i have brain rot. They do have such cute little striped black and white antennae though, see? 

A strain like autumnal equinox is also tempting but..... idk 

cubaris sp “lemon blue”

(pic source) arent they stunning. ok so i want one of the yellowy ones i think theyre cute but it could be lemon blues it could be jupiters it could be some rendition of the bees. rubber bees, emperor bees, bumble bees.

armadillidium vulgare “gem mix”

(pic source) this is actually a really commonly available mix and was almost my first set before i got that absurd deal on my cappuccinos. I just love how rich and deep the colors are and they all complement each other so well. there are other mixes of other species like ‘lotto ticket’ and ‘party mix’ but the gem mix is so pretty to me

honorable mentions

armadillidium nasatum “peach” - absurdly cute to me. such a pretty color and such nice markings. not SUPER up my alley in terms of what id want to keep but just so nice to look at. if i had space and saw a good deal. itd be tempting.

cubaris sp. “pak chong” - they are also. so cute. they were actually one of the other ones i was considering as my first isopods, the reptile store in my area has some (as well as that gem mix) but i had been worried they would be too hard to care for (and then i went for the theoretically Harder to care for cappuccinos anyway so i had to level up my isopod keeping really fast and early for those little thangs) anyway i like their little red face and butt.

venezillo parvus “kumquat” - maybe i just like the food names especially. bc i have cappuccinos and chocolate zebras at home. but also a lot of morphs have food names. They are just so so cute conglobated and they are teeny tinys. i like their coloration and markings. this section is kind of repetitive now that i think about it

cubaris sp “white shark” - literally would be on the list but theyre just so tinys. idk why but them being tiny seems like a big L in this case but in other cases a species is tinys and im like. epic....

thenks for reading :P :)

Alright y'all have spoken!! Isopod time! I currently have two cultures started: Armadillidium maculatum "chocolate zebras" and Cubaris sp. "red panda kings." To be honest I really desperately want rubber duckies but they're expensive, like it warm and humid, and are super shy so I probably won't get them, as cute as they are. Now pictures!

First is my largest red panda! I'm pretty sure it's a juvenile and will get a bit bigger but boy is it a cute lil dude! The next is one of my chocolate zebras enjoying some damp sphagnum moss. Followed by another chocolate zebra, who was evidently traumatized by being picked up to go into the enclosure. As such, ball 🥺 Finally we have the one standard zebra that snuck into my culture of chocolates! He is hanging out in his own cup with an absolutely massive dairy cow (my fiance got ~100 dairy cows and I found one I liked so I'm keeping her lol).

On top of these I've got some white sharks I won at auction, they're an adorable dwarf cubaris species!

I'm also gonna be going to a reptile store to see what cultures they have, and hopefully expand my herds! Yay for genetic diversity! Also I only have five of the pandas and I want more lol

(hopefully the store has cappuccino isopods. They're my favorite and I Want Some)

I'll keep updating this post as things happen!

Hey does anyone wanna see my new isopods?
