Some really bad isopod pics lol

Top: Porciellionides Pruinosis "Powder Blue" . Three survived the catastrophe. I think several suffered injuries that killed them over time unfortunately. I couldn't help it, I've ordered in more, they'll be in by the end of the week.

Bottom: Porcellio Scaber "Orange" they're doing OK! I assume! I've been reading apparently that they really like their "animal protein" so it's a good thing I have extra flake fish food my fish don't like! Anyways since I was getting more Powder Blues and I'm a sucker for cute bugs I got some Orange Dalmation P. Scaber too (they're white with orange freckles) to put in here. It'll be neat to see how they breed and the patterns that emerge!

Anyways, maybe I'll be able to get better pics later in the week.

I got some Porcellio scaber “Spanish Orange” recently. these were the first isopods to be bred into mutant colors and kept as pets, and still a very widely available and popular strain. I plan on crossing the orange mutation into a few other varieties using these fellows

although they’re common, they’re so vibrant and I’m enjoying them more than I thought I would!

Isopod macros! In variety bins like I have you sometimes get odd hybrids. This one has an orange body and grey antennae.

I am curious, I never checked if there's people that like isopods on tumblr, who here has small frens?

Show me your isopods? n.n

GOT FUCKING PODSCAMMED

#THESE ARE NOT O ASELLUS BC MAPLE #THESE ARE FUCKING P SCABER ORANGE EMBERS

[pangur-and-grim]

THE COLOURS!!! they’re mostly orange dalmatian, but you can also see an orange koi, a black koi, and an orange

#isopods #Porcellio scaber #im so happy I tossed multiple morphs together 🥺 #its odd because I expected all the babies to be wildtype #but instead theyre all orange dalmations!! #I guess the orange dalmations were uh. very happy to breed in there

Update on the size of the baby orange koi/porcellio scaber isopods! A bunch of babies next to some adults, enjoying a piece of yellow squash.

Under a cut because Bug.

Got my first ever ispods today! I got 10 of the little guys!

This is their little enclosure! I have some cotton on the top to help with humidity, dust, and escapees

They are porcellio scaber orange dalmatians and will eventually be moved into a terrarium of mine once the colony is bigger.

What is inside the closure:

- toilet paper tube

- dead tree and fern leaves

- potting soil

- spangum moss

- a dried daisy stalk (please tell me if this is not ok!!)

- a feeding powder (bought it from the same place I got these little guys has some pea powder eggshells and other stuff)

- tiny bit of charcoal

- tiny bit of sand and pebbles

- hay

- guinea pig droppings

- Betta food (because I have a betta fish and it was easy to just drop some of her pellets in there, I also have shrimp food for cherry shrimp if anyone thinks that would be a good addition)

- while they have not arrived yet I also have some springtails on the way as well to help with cleanup :)

As I said this is my first time ever doing this and I'm open to any advice!!

the calico phenotype in Porcellio scaber is only expressed in female isopods; males with the mutation appear solid gray for some reason. females have a mottled appearance of gray and orange patches, which can vary considerably in different individuals.

when combined with the large white patches from the dalmatian gene, the result is a lovely tricolor isopod!

the original “Dalmatian” line should not to my knowledge produce calicos, and these are from a cross of “Orange Dalmatian” to my local P. scaber among which calico is a very common trait

How are your isopods doing? I haven’t seen any pics lately

the Armadillidium vulgare colony is doing wonderfully! they like things drier, and seem to thrive on neglect.

all the adults pictured are from the second generation of crossbreeding (the starter morphs were Magic Potion, Punta Cana Tangerine, Orange Vigor, and T+ Albino), while the teensiest guys are third or fourth generations

the Porcellio scaber colony, on the other hand, experienced a recent crash. I was off visiting my parents, and mistakenly thought they'd be fine for 4 days without misting - unfortunately, I returned to all adults over a certain size dead. their children survived, however, and the overall population is recovering!
