@@SIRO_GLYDER i know this is forever and a half now but yeah, roly pollies are a cute nickname we give to isopods because, at least in my area, they curl up into their little balls. they're very cute and plentiful in my yard! i always love doing gardening or cleaning because there's always a hundred that scatter lol also, they have names like pillbugs and sowbugs, but that apparently refers to the variation of the isopods. the former refers to the roly pollies/isopods that can curl up into a ball (ex. armadillidium species), while the latter are the type of isopod that cannot roll up and have a flatter appearance (ex. porcellio scabers)
You are so gentle with the springtails. When that one jumped in your leg I didn’t think you’d be able to get them back in, they’re so tiny. Amazing job!
A year ago, before I got my first isopods, I would think your'e insane. But now, after seeing my own personal collection growing into 11 different species, You are my idol :)
This is inspiring. I have salty isopods (I'm a reefer), but my son sparked my interest in terrestrial isopods recently. We're going to practice with some guys from the yard before trying some other species. I can see this becoming a full blown addiction and taking up space in my fish room...
@@pascal590 lots of reef isopods are good guys. Munnid isopods and most sphaeromatids are algae grazers. They're good food for your fish, too. They are ubiquitous and can hitchhike on anything wet you put in your tank. Live rock, algae, frags, even a snail or hermit crab.
Hi! I have a short story to tell you. I became interested in invertebrates a couple of years ago and started by having spiders as pets. One day I found a woodlouse spider and started feeding her with isopods from my garden. I looked for care videos of this spider on RUclips, but instead found your firsts videos about your isopod collection. Now, few months later I have like ten enclosures of isopods that I have found only in my backyard. I don’t offer the spider my isopods anymore... 😉 I really enjoyed your video, although I had to watch in parts.
Truly inspired, I’ve loved isopods since I was kid ripping bark off the trees to see them scurry away haha. Gotta get some of these, truly some gems in ur collection. Those zebras WOW
Hi my name is Leeza & I’m addicted to collecting isopods & you are my hero I believe I only have 9 cultures of isopods & I love them 🥰 I ordered from Roly Poly Ranch & my favorite reptile store Dairy cow 🐮 moooooo
Thanks for this great video!!! My kids were so freaked out when I pulled earthworms, baby centipedes & isopods out from under a cut log in our yard yesterday here in the Pacific Northwest. As soon as they saw they were harmless and pretty cute crawling around on my fingers they got much less scared, happy to show them examples of isopods besides the grey ones that live here in Western Washington. 🏞️
Never thought I'd be watching a 1 hour video about isopods, but because I like isopods, here I am. And at 19:22 , I love how you're so gentle with that springtail! This is an amazing channel!
It was so lovely to see how gentle you were with that springtail. I got my isopods for a bio active build but now i don't want to risk them getting eaten. Soooo they are my pets now:) Thank you for the care videos they help a lot
Im not sure the species but in a classroom tank with scorpions and local isopods our isopods outweighed the scorpions at some point and decided to start eating the smaller scorpions alive. We found them half hollowed out and couldnt figure out what was happening. Luckily the biggest survived.
I watched the whole thing while working and it was a really nice and chill time with isopods. Thanks for making the video and for all of the time stamps in the description! Your dedication is appreciated!
I love your videos. Please make more and make them often. I'm sharing them onto my group Hobby Insect and Education and we love the care you provide for your insects, the close-ups and the care you show for them. Thank you.
Just watched all the video in one shot while unpacking some tarantulas with Amanda and Martin at the tarantula Canada store. Keep up the good work on those videos.😁
Thanks so much for taking the time to record this for us! I love seeing the different ones out there and making a wishlist of the ones I wanna get. I'm sorry that some of your cultures crashed or that you're struggling with them. It's really sad when that happens so I wish you luck! I know you'll find something that works for them so just hang in there! I like looking are sale listings for that species since they tend to have little tidbits on their care so I just look at as many as I can and try stuff out.
I recently started keeping isopods bc i find them super cute and interesting and well they are all from my garden cuz I got no money, and there are not a lot really, but they seem all really happy and I can say I've seen as much as at least 3 species : )
Update!: I've been looking into identifying the isopods i got and so far the most i have are (probably) porcellio scaber or something similar :) I also found one im positive is a cubaris murina (little sea) and its the cutest little guy ever, but I've only seen one. I'm considering buying more of those cuz i dont want it to be alone
Watching ur vids is so nostalgic for me, i remember watching your carnivorous plant and how to grow spaghnum moss vids back in the day, feels good to see how much you've grown:)
it’s always cool to have that little pop of color in a tropical reptile enclosure, but make sure you have lots and lots of hiding spots and leaf litter so they don’t get eaten immediately :D
So cute! I just found some in my yard and want to propagate them. I remember in my childhood I saw roly polys that seemed to have letters on their backs. Like the alphabet. I always thought that was neat.
Wow, its great to have a chance to see so many kinds of isopods in one video! I added it to the Isopod Fanclub playlist on the Roly Poly Research Project channel.
I am keeping 2 in a jar, no clue about the species but I found them by Lake Huron, canada. They are just grey, they don’t dig and they don’t curl into balls
Cooool! I have some "Powder Blues" but I want to get some of the Armadillidium species.......the Montenegro are pretty! Maybe I should look for some of those! Rubber Duckies are on my wish list, but they're expensive.
Found you through Coralfish12g becuase you mentioned Isopods. As someone who has just started keeping them I thought it would be nice to check you out!
In the UK, the common name for the local species of isopods is "Wood Lice" (possibly the US as well?) But they're so commonplace that they've resulted in a plethora of regional common names. In Wiltshire (South-West England) they're called variously "Chucky Pigs" and a host of other names.
For different sized small plastic food formers...check out the 99 cent or dollar stores!....they sell as many as 1 to 6 small square containers for the gel food and also cut pieces of veggies you like to feed...you would think that they came from an Office Max store or something. They snap closed tight....good luck!!
Wow this is an awesome video!! I watched through the whole video, however my favorite is still the Dairy Cows. You should try keeping porcellio scaber dalmations and armadilldium “ cookies and cream” 🥰
Hey, wasps will leave you alone, just dont disturb them or their nests, slow movements and they will usually fly away. Dont let unecessary fear restrict your life! A bear or wolf maybe reason for hiding indoors,but not a wasp. 💚 You can attract isopods by putting some carrot pieces on damp ground in shady area, with a piece of bark or old pot or such over the top, with some little gaps for entry. Check it after a few days, or a week, scoop up carrots and surrounding soil into a round container with sides at least a few inches depth. Then you can sit in good light, with magnifying glass or zokm camera on smart phone, and check out what little creatures live in your garden. You can scoop out little isopods individually with a spoon to transfer to your preprepared enclosure. Enjoy😍
I love your video! It is so satisfying to watch and not too long! 😁 It is the first video on your channel which I see.. hope you have some more long vids.... 💛
Today a bring home basic porcellio echinatus from local expo, give them piece of zukiny and in seconds they start eating. ...and i have problem.. big one... I absolutely fall in love whit them!❤😂
I love your mass of Woodlouse Isopods , so sweet, I never realised you could get to many species, I might try to get some , I .ort to do a video like yours with my stickinsects, Phasmida, snakes and my fish, I have eight ponds but most are small with bull heads, stickleback, stone loach etc, I have koi too, With my spiny sticks, I have lots of woodlice , the British species, the big ones I’ve always called mummy Woodlouse, I love your orange ones
Great video! Watching the whole thing. Love your enthusiasm and how you baby talk to your isopods lol. Have you tried adding limestone and bat guano for the duckies?
I start to learn about isopods and how to keep as pets. I'm thinking about buying some species, but luckily i live in Malaysia where their some interesting species like white tiger isopod. I will try to catch some wild isopods and start breeding them. Your new subscriber. Sorry for my bad english.
I am very interested in your bio; i.e., where/when you got started, where you keep all of your 'critters', do they live in specially designated areas of your home?, do you have a degree in any of it or have you learned as you go? Thanks! You are marvelous with your animals and I thoroughly enjoy watching you care for them. It's easy to tell that you truly care for them all. Thank you for sharing your world with us.
Ha, I've not seen anyone use shrimps yet but that's what I use too. I should add I haven't watched too many isopod videos yet, this seems to be the mother of them so that's good lol I put some cat food I had soaked in there and they love it. Caught one chowing down on camera yesterday. Normally they run if I touch anything near them but this guy was too busy taking advantage of the buffet
Fyi, ive read that the rubber duckies are found in limestone caves in Thailand. Maybe crushed limestone in your media will work? They are so expensive.
Thanks, I enjoyed the entire video. I'm new to the isopods. I have a collection of High Expression Hawaiian Mourning Gecko I picked up in Hawaii 4 yrs. ago. Now I'm in need of some Springtails and Isopods. Do you have any available? How much? And as I saw throughout your video enough that will survive because I am still learning. I was thinking of Springtails, Porcellio laevis "Dairy Cow because they seem to thrive. What about the Porcellio Expansus (White), Porcellio laevis (Orange), survival rate. Plus how are your Rubber ducky isopods doing?
Absolutely awesome. I bought Porcellio laevis dairy cows and the Porcellio laevis whites and only found out from your video I basically bought the same isopods twice lol. But the whites are doing better than the dairy cows lol. Any advice on what to get for a burrowing humidity liking amphibians? I have barred tiger salamanders and since the dairy cows are protein driven I am kind of worried about them biting at my Sals when they are buried for a long time
Wonderful! I don't recommend keeping anything larger than dwarf whites or N. cristatus with amphibians. P. scaber and P. laevis are very aggressive and capable of attacking them.
I've seen a number of videos like this where people use containers with holes drilled along the top edge for ventilation. I've also seen most people recommend springtails as companions for the isopods, but since the springtails are so much smaller, isn't there a large risk of them escaping from the ventilation holes in these setups?
Hey! Was wondering for Porcellio Werneri how moist is the enclosure? Some say they like a more dry environment with ventilation while yours seems to have a more moist environment WITH a lot of ventilation. Any tips? Also have you used high calcium cricket diet as a staple before?
Maybe some of the problems that you have with certain species is that you don't have enough of them because maybe they are too expensive a piece or something. Isopods look very social. They hang out together. I'm sure they are happier when they surrounded by a of their congenital cousins, they are the funniest.
Isopods brains have only 4 components; that being said it doesn’t have room for “social interactions.”Therefore they run over there selves and show no awareness, thus not needing to be interactive. They are not humans, nor are they mammals. Rarely any other animals show IN NEED of interactions, thus making your hypothesis irrelevant.
at 57:30 - did you ever determine if they were scaber orange dalmations? I have a brand new (to me) colony and these look the same. The original owner said they were powder blue crosses, but after putting them in Discord the consensus is they're orange dalmations. If so, what kind of luck, if any, did you have crossing them with others? Thank you! brand new to the hobby here.
Whoa, holy work editing this Dion! “As you can see, right off the bat” Nope... they is camouflaged dood, I see nada! Lol Seriously though, you can’t tell me you remember each types Latin /scientific name by heart! Can you?!
Merci! It’s peat moss, some sand, horticultural charcoal (not much) to help drainage and purify the soil of toxins, spaghnum moss, black earth, coco chunks or orchid bark topped with lots of leaf litter! Hope this helps!

"So how many pets do you have?"
Oh just a few hundred thousand
I've watched this vid five times now cause I love ISOPODS!!!
Watched it all... I found a few new favorites (recently got into the hobby collecting!) I’m very keen on getting some scabers in the future
Watching this cuz I need more isopod for my vivarium! They are so cute! :)
I love these videos, isopods are cool and actually look cute up close! I want to stop being fearful of them:(
Thank you so much for this. This really helps me fall asleep no joke, your voice is so nice!! 💕 never stop creating :)
Haha that’s awesome! Thanks for listening!
Do you actually use them for anything like vivariums and stuff? Or just pets 😋
mostly pets! :)
it’s always cool to have that little pop of color in a tropical reptile enclosure, but make sure you have lots and lots of hiding spots and leaf litter so they don’t get eaten immediately :D
Isopods are more interesting than I originally assumed. I used to love rollie-pollies when I was young!
So cute! I just found some in my yard and want to propagate them. I remember in my childhood I saw roly polys that seemed to have letters on their backs. Like the alphabet. I always thought that was neat.
Wow, its great to have a chance to see so many kinds of isopods in one video! I added it to the Isopod Fanclub playlist on the Roly Poly Research Project channel.
Thank you so much!
I am keeping 2 in a jar, no clue about the species but I found them by Lake Huron, canada.
They are just grey, they don’t dig and they don’t curl into balls
Cooool! I have some "Powder Blues" but I want to get some of the Armadillidium species.......the Montenegro are pretty! Maybe I should look for some of those! Rubber Duckies are on my wish list, but they're expensive.
Stunning, wonderful collection. Settling in to watch , learn and be inspired.
Oh wow! Fabulous collection! Thanks for the tour!!

In the UK, the common name for the local species of isopods is "Wood Lice" (possibly the US as well?)
But they're so commonplace that they've resulted in a plethora of regional common names. In Wiltshire (South-West England) they're called variously "Chucky Pigs" and a host of other names.
You should make a fast care video to each species, just about 5 min
Bravo, this is what I've been looking for. Great overview of many species.
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed the video!
For different sized small plastic food formers...check out the 99 cent or dollar stores!....they sell as many as 1 to 6 small square containers for the gel food and also cut pieces of veggies you like to feed...you would think that they came from an Office Max store or something. They snap closed tight....good luck!!
Wow this is an awesome video!! I watched through the whole video, however my favorite is still the Dairy Cows. You should try keeping porcellio scaber dalmations and armadilldium “ cookies and cream” 🥰
Thank you so much Maybe down the road! I have quite a few isopods as is haha
aren't they the same? I thought so ...
Hello, going to be getting a setup and start collecting this amazing ISO’s. Thanks for showing!
Thumbs up just for the key in the description 😁😎 super huge time saver. Still ended up watching the whole thing LOO
Appreciate that so much! Thanks for watching!
I went outside to go get some isopods but then a dang wasp flew into my moms house and I ran to my room and now am hiding out. lol
Hey, wasps will leave you alone, just dont disturb them or their nests, slow movements and they will usually fly away. Dont let unecessary fear restrict your life! A bear or wolf maybe reason for hiding indoors,but not a wasp. 💚

Haha thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
im so happy i thought i was the only one obsessed with isopods 😅
Hello, can you tell me which Isopod prefer dry enviroments?
All isopods need moisture because they are crustaceans
In general Armadillidium species need less moisture than others

Maybe some of the problems that you have with certain species is that you don't have enough of them because maybe they are too expensive a piece or something. Isopods look very social. They hang out together. I'm sure they are happier when they surrounded by a of their congenital cousins, they are the funniest.
Thank you for the suggestion. Definitely something worth considering!
Isopods brains have only 4 components; that being said it doesn’t have room for “social interactions.”Therefore they run over there selves and show no awareness, thus not needing to be interactive. They are not humans, nor are they mammals. Rarely any other animals show IN NEED of interactions, thus making your hypothesis irrelevant.
Superbe vidéo !👍 Ta collection est magnifique, tu es le Maître des Isopodes, le 🤴des armadlilidium, je suis admiratif 👏😎
Cétoine des Neiges merci beaucoup! Ils sont formidables toutes mes petites bêtes! ☺️👍🏼
at 57:30 - did you ever determine if they were scaber orange dalmations? I have a brand new (to me) colony and these look the same. The original owner said they were powder blue crosses, but after putting them in Discord the consensus is they're orange dalmations. If so, what kind of luck, if any, did you have crossing them with others? Thank you! brand new to the hobby here.
how do you get so many types that aren't widely sold?
i'm in aus and i tried searching for where to buy but there's literally nothing
Whoa, holy work editing this Dion!
“As you can see, right off the bat”
Nope... they is camouflaged dood, I see nada! Lol
Seriously though, you can’t tell me you remember each types Latin /scientific name by heart! Can you?!
:)
Great video my friend i have wild ones
Crystal's pets&plants thanks so much! They are lovely as well! I enjoy them too! (Local lads culture in the video)
This will be our project! Collect more isopods hahaha! Where do you find these super rare ones? I mean we could buy but,.. lol
Nice. Hopefully i could have those many species.
Hey I'm French and I love this video,
what's in the soil mix ?
Merci! It’s peat moss, some sand, horticultural charcoal (not much) to help drainage and purify the soil of toxins, spaghnum moss, black earth, coco chunks or orchid bark topped with lots of leaf litter! Hope this helps!
@@Reptiliatus yeah thanks for this help, this is soil mix incredible,
Does it work for all species even arid species ?
