@star @OnwardParsley @futurebird I can’t tell you how happy I am to see #isopods posting on Mastodon. My kid is a big isopods fan and has a bunch of them as pets. Yes, including Dairy Cows! They are adorable.
Also yes, Lemon Blues are expensive.
Here’s a vid with a new #terrarium & guitar accompaniment by my partner Soph via some #aliceinchains - full of #isopods & #springtails as the #cleanupcrew

Armadillidium nasatum "wild type" or, as I decided to name him, Herald.
i found this polite guy snooping around my backyard and figured he might enjoy a more stable environment.

Porcellionides pruinosus or the powder blue isopod is a lovely species. I found this one by itself, crawling up my wall! Not sure how it got inside, or if there are more like it around my home, but it sure is cute.
I plan to purchase some more powder blues in the future so that this guy isn't too lonely.

First post! I upgraded the #isopods #terrarium to a larger size since they’ve been thriving/mating like crazy. I would post a picture but it seems I’m unable to publish them at this time
