    Hi. I’m a new subscriber as well as a new isopod hobbyists. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this info. I started with a culture of 30 Zebras 2 months ago and I’m now down to only 15 or so due to keeping their substrate too moist and too little ventilation. Unfortunately, because of their distinct coloration (and I think beauty) I only had experience with powder orange before getting these and treated them basically the same. I’ve received a couple more species since and a LOT more research regarding the requirements of each, but this video helped with the Zebras more than anything else I’ve found. Thank you so much.

    I'm always surprised to hear you mention using worm castings as substrate. I raise worms FOR their castings to use in plants as the nitrogen (among other things) is high. Could you elucidate on the benefits of using worm castings? How inportant is it to use hardwood leaves? I've been able to keep acquiring oak leaves, but you specify hardwood deciduous. Thanks Wally!

    • @SupremeGecko
      @SupremeGecko  4 года назад +3

      It's really been working for me. My thought is that they are in this stuff (many of our isopods) regularly in the wild anyways. I have to think the worm castings are high in protein and break down easily. Oak is a hardwood. I've tried several types of leaves and the ones you see in the videos get eaten the best. Luckily, we have a couple of tries in the yard and can bag up a bunch in the fall. Thanks for the great questions.

      @@SupremeGecko Excellent to hear! The easy digestion of castings actually makes PERFECT sense! It's what my dwarf shrimp do with snail poop. They prefer to eat that rather than a decaying plant first as it's more easily digested and the behbehs get more nutrition absorption that way! Nature...she's PERFECT.
      I have had access to oak leaves for now, but may not for very long, I can safely assume if it falls from a tree, it's ok to use? Hardwood or no? So long as it's properly dried? Can I add more question marks to this comment?

      No worries whatsoever. They do like warmer temps but I fund they do not need to be kept in the higher range to do well, and if kept that high for an extended period, will not do as well. You would do well to keep them in the middle of that range consistently. This can be achieved by locating them higher in the room where they will get additional heat.

      Hi Sandy. Congratulations on the zebras. You will LOVE them! And, congrats on the babies. If it were me, I would add them to the new enclosure. Keep them in an environment that is easier to control. Small containers are so difficult. As for fungus gnats, it's tough as they just seem to be a thing isopod keepers have to deal with. Once the container is more established, you will see less and less. Even with over 100 containers, I only see one or two occasionally but they are there. And more prevalent for new enclosures. Hope this helps.

      Supreme Gecko Thank You ! I will try to get out those babies .... I dont want to dump them in w substrate cause there is calci sand in it. Seller said it was a great way to provide their calcium. I have not heard nor read this anywhere else. What do you think about using calci sand for isopods? I was going to get cuttlebones.

    I just caught a pair of my new zebra isopods mating and wasn't sure if they were reproducing or practicing their rear choke hold. The male is a bit on the small side so he's not really "hitting the mark" when mounting the larger female, so he's riding her around like a rodeo bull while trying his damnedest to reach the target lmao XD

      @@SupremeGecko I think rubber duckies are overrated--they are shy and hide all the time. Not so with dairy cows! They breed so much you have to start giving them away OR sell them. One idea is local pet stores. If I lived close to you I would be giving them away to you because of their breeding.
