These are the only isopods I keep. I got them on the guidance of your videos. They have been super fun to take care of. Their colony is growing super fast.😊
I have a few pie bald Giant Canyons as well. One of them has a white head, which I think is pretty cute. I haven't tried to isolate them, and I probably never will; sadly my life is too busy for that right now. But I am really excited to see how this breeding project turns out!
I am very new to keeping isopods and I have started a small colony from wild caught isopods from where I grew up in Norway, they look like porcellio variant and colors range from the common gray, gray with yellow spots along the back, brown and light brown/gray. I have loved isopods sense I was a kid crawling around my grandparents yard but never thought about them being kept as pets, now I just sit and watch their behavior in a small/medium enclosure I made for a few of them. Cause where I live currently they aren't as common as at my grandparents place. And I am thinking about giving my small colony a boost with some new individuals when I have a chance to, as well as making more desk size enclosures so I can start to separate the different colors I have seen in the ones I already have! And I would love to get some different morphs one day, but I don't think Norway is the best place when it comes to that sort of thing. Yes, we have some people breeding them here, but most people see them as pests sadly.. :(
@@Aquarimax Cool! I'm not sure about getting them shipped to Norway, rules are strict when it comes to shipping any live creatures, but it might be possible to track down people that sell other morphs in Norway already! But I am loving the "boring" isopods anyway, even if they aren't the fancy variety! :D
@@Aquarimax I just found a wild isopod in my grandparents yard that looks almost exactly like the Lava morph, a lot of orange around the body with dark gray patches! When I google image search it I get something called "Porcellio Scaber “Red Calico” o.o
It’s been years (about 25!) since I had an ant colony, it would be fun to do that again, especially with the advancements in enclosures since those ancient times.
@@Aquarimax I purchased blue death feigning beetles because of you and I love them! Your videos are awesome and educational. Don’t ever stop making content
Curious to know how this project is going if you are still working on it, it might not have been long enough ago for you to know yet but I'm excited to hear about them. :)
I'm new to your videos and I love them. I have 3 large cultures of those canyons and I have some that are kind of a light brown maybe peach colored is that normal?
I was watching your toe-biter video on Clint's reptiles just now and realised I hadn't seen an Aquarimax video recommended to me in a while. Wouldn't you know, it turned out I was wasn't subscribed >.< Not sure if I was dropped by youtube somehow or what might have happened, but if I had to put money on something it would have to be my own foolishness.

Ooohhh I really hope you can make pie bald giant canyon!
@@AGiantTalkingLizard me too! 🙏🙏🙏
Fingers crossed! That would be so cool!

wishing you lots of luck Rus!
Thank you! I hope it works out! 🙏
wow!!!! lots of luck from me!!! that last one looks magnificent!
I wish you success! Last guy does indeed look fascinating!
@@TechNinjaSigma Thank you! Leucistic Giant Canyons would be fantastic!
Good luck Rus!! I hope they can pass those colors, I wouldnt mind keeping some of these especially if that last handsome 'pod could be its own morph 😍
@@duskysomething5411 I would
LOVE it if we got two morphs out of this stock!
I had one pied giant canyon as well! Head half dark, back half white. Never got any more than one, but I hope you get success!
@@audreyboogy 🤞🙏🤞💯
I have a handful in my colony - I thought it was maybe contaminated with Dairy Cows?
@@nathanwolber4503 I have no dairy cows so that’s not in my case!
Ooh 👻 at the end!
I've got a few pied in my culture as well. I have at least one that's fully white. They just showed up a few months ago.
@@hal-c let me know if they end up breeding true!
I look forward to seeing updates.
Also, I really need to sort through the calico-type Scabers I collected from my garden!
I love giant canyons as CUC for my ball pythons. They do a fabulous job!
@@rachelleworkman3377 One of my favorites for CUC with my garters too!

I enjoy this so much! Amazing content, best wishes to you and your future projects! 🌻
Pretty, best of luck breeding them!
@@fru_tess thank you!
Super cool, I love the weekly videos!
That’s what I love to hear!
small or big, as long as they're isopods then they're cool with me
@@Dry_walls agreed!
Super exciting! They're pretty!! 😍
@@karenlee3198 they really are !
@@Aquarimax I'm only starting with P. dilatatus so trying to grow my 10 into the thriving colony
@@karenlee3198 They are pretty robust, I am sure they will get there soon!
Good luck! These are very cute.

@@Alucard45000 sounds like you may have a calico form of P. scaber, very cool! Can you get other morphs shipped to you from other countries?
@@Aquarimax Cool!

Ooooh so cool!!!
@@veryanbrown979 wish me luck with getting them to produce pied descendants!
@@Aquarimax good luck!! I believe!!
How many individuals did you find with that trait?
@@andrewchristy530 so far, 4 pied and one apparent leucistic individual
Curious to know how this project is going if you are still working on it, it might not have been long enough ago for you to know yet but I'm excited to hear about them. :)
Glad I watched to the end. My hint is "I Love Lucy"

@@Joy-wu7qv glad you enjoy my videos! Yes, seeing some individuals like that is not uncommon. 👍
Fingers Crossed 🤞
