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.

Found ANOTHER mystery woodlouse in with the dairy cows earlier this evening, clinging to a little snack or some kind. I know they’ve got to be from the same brood because all of the ones I find are the same size. So, in with the powder oranges he goes (there’s plenty to munch on in there, don’t worry.) I’ve decided to put them in with the oranges to keep an eye on them- I’m fascinated by these guys and their stowaway antics, plus they aren’t as rowdy as my porcellios so I have no fear of food competition becoming an issue right now.
Speaking of brood, I spotted a baby orange while cleaning out some fuzz mold that had grown on u eaten shrimp pellets. They’re orange now! Still very small, but they have colorrr!

2022 was an utterly wild year for my isopod morph collection. goes to show how much weirdness you can find in a short amount of time if you look for it!
Tumblr media
in January I found a morph in my Porcellionides pruinosus “Orange” that’s still puzzling me today. at first a translucent pinkish color, they shifted to a smoothly blended piebald appearance… and then only had solid orange offspring.
Tumblr media
April brought another orange-and-white morph, out of my self-isolated Trachelipus rathkii “Orange.” the piebald pattern eventually was covered up by orange as they aged
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I found albino morphs from three species in May, A. nasatum, & P. pruinosus from wild populations and T. rathkii in the first brood of some normal local parents. I thought I’d bred a fourth albino, but it turned out to be an unusually depigmented Porcellio scaber “Dalmatian” with mosaic-pattern eyes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
on a trip to collect centipedes, I stumbled on a population of Armadillidium vulgare with unusually high counts of gold and brown individuals, and one piebald male. since almost all were infected with porcelain disease, I only got one healthy brood, but there are both pied and gold young among them!
…looks like I’ll need a part 2

Isopods I got at a recent event!
Hello, I just wanted to show you all my lovely new children!! I love them so much already :”)
Armadillidium vulgare “Punta Cana” - Absolutely GORGEOUS coloration!! They’re so big and mellow too, and not afraid to roll right up!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Porcellio pruinosus “Powder Blue” - Very small and love to scuttle, but I love them anyways. Such a cool appearance...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Porcellio pruinosus “Oreo Crumble” - I got these for a friend and babysat them for a day until my friend could come pick them up! They’re so gorgeous and tiny, they’re like smaller Dairy Cows... might have to get some of my own soon :P

Invertebrate Catalogue
(Current to 2/18/2024)
If there is no picture, I plan to update with a picture. Pictures are of my actual pets. These are my pets and are NOT FOR SALE. I do however, periodically have offspring of some of my pets available for sale. Bolded species are species I have a breeding group of.
This list is non-exhaustive, as I have some random leftover feeder insects and random isopods in some of my cultures as well.
My current sale availability, Terms of Service and In Search Of/Trade list is here
I am an amateur/hobby entomologist and invertebrate breeder, I do not have any university degrees in biology, my information may be wrong and should be taken with a grain of salt. I am dedicated to providing my animals with more than adequate care, and hope that I am doing so. However, I do not know everything and am still learning to care for some of these animals, especially those that are not commonly kept in captivity. If you find a grievous error in my care or identification, please send me an ask or message.

Porcellionides Pruinosus ‘Oreo crumble’
Tumblr media
My 10 new lil babies arrived today and I already love them🥹 - I’ve really gotten into isopods lately, which isn’t uncommon when you’re into reptiles. They’re fascinating just to watch go about their business, it’s grounding and it brings you back to nature. Also the variety is insane (I mean have you seen rubber ducky isopods??? Definitely on my wish list!)
Basically the story is while delving into the terrarium hobby, the importance of having springtails in closed terrariums led me down a rabbit hole of research into springtails and isopods and now…here we are😂 Anyway, you can expect more isopod posts in the future.

WHY ARE YOU IN MY ORGANIC TOP SOIL SIR
unopened bag, filled with these guys and spring tails. Hes definitely porcellio genus, but idk what type? he looks powder blue to me, and I found one that looks like a powder orange, both of which I keep. But this was, again, a sealed bag of soil on another floor of my home (isopods are upstairs, bag of dirt in the garage). Lots of porcellio species are native here? including Pruinosus, but I doubt I'd just find three morphed fellows hanging out in my garage eating dirt yanno? I'm just. confused.
