Huge thanks for the shout!!! That shirt looks like a flavomarginatus! Agreed about the Zebras; they really are the most popular affordable isopod in the hobby.
Great video Wally! I think we tend to agree on most aspects of zebra isopod care. Zebras are definitely in my top 5 favorite isopods of all time...I agree, they must be the most popular affordable isopods in the hobby...deservedly so! Awesome shirt, too...P. flavomarginatus? 😁👍
I am super glad I have watched this. I am getting my zebras very soon. I am beyond new to the hobby and keeping different species of isopods, but not new to keeping pets and learning what they need to thrive, and just get by. I am now going to just give all my isopods wet and dry stations.
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.
Great video, thank! Just ordered my first isopods and bought som zebras as well, they are stunning. Started looking at isopods just to have as a lean up crew for my tarantulas, but now I am getting quite obsessed with isopods, love them!
Thank you! I wondered about having a variety of woods. I use just cork for diary cows, my Zebras and clowns have Redwood and cork bark. They seem to really like the Redwood. As a CA isopod fan it's fantastic that they love my local favorite woods to visit 😀 😊
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!
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?
@@Beansie For the most part about leaves. Pine needles not so much. But there are some leaves more easily consumed than others. I'm a huge believer in the hardwoods (like Maple/Oak). Yes properly dried. You can if you want :)
Excellent! Glad this helped. This keeps me going and doing these videos. Make sure you catch the Setup Reviews as there is at least on on Zebras (clowns).
Last year I only had a couple of zebras. Now I have at least one or two dozen of them. They are super easy to raise--but take a long time. PS: I keep an egg shell in there so they can have a plentiful supply of calcium.
This was very helpful thanks for the tips, I've been successfully keeping zebras for about a year now but I noticed I would lose a few animals here and there and I most certainly was keeping them too wet by spraying the entire enclosure.
@@TCSDartFrogs :) I understand. There's a bunch of them. Again, if I can help at all, let me know. BTW- setting up 15 12x12x18 exos in the next month! I now have NO reason not to set at least 1 or two up with darts. Do you have an availability list? I will probably just default to your suggestions :)
@@SupremeGecko I'm sure I'll have more questions, and yeah if you have any questions on setting up the dart tanks let me know. I have everything that's available on my website here www.tcsdartfrogs.com/frogs-for-sale
Zebras! Zebras! Oy oy oy! ;) Gotta love the A. macs! :D I think 2nd most popular would be P. scaber due to their wide variety of colors and patterns available, and of course the P. laevis Dairy Cows. Heck, vulgare and nasatum are up there in popularilty too.
(missed this comment) Love the comment! I knew you would like this video. :) P. scaber would be up there for me as well (and my granddaughter for dairy cows).
Definitely helpful! I feel like I'm going to do a lot better with my isos after watching these videos. Where is the best place to find the decaying wood? Do you collect it and heat-treat it, or is it available commercially?
One of my absolute favorites in my collection! I got mine from Peter at bugs in cyberspace. They took a while to start breeding but now, i have quite a few
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I actually have 2. One was done about a year ago and is titled setting up an isopod enclosure. The other was done last month and has a thumbnail with the word EVICTED. I would add links but I'm on my phone. The material is chiffon.
Oh boy. Ummm. How about trying two different enclosures one with lots of ventilation, one will a lot less. Check to see which one produces more animals after 1 year.
Supreme Gecko I ordered 50 Monday and they should ship today so hopefully I’ll have them Friday along with 20 Klugii(Pudding) thanks for the videos now I know exactly how I’m gonna make my setup.
yo i love your show and wondering if u can tell me something , i raise desert scorpions so i added blue death feigning beetles to the cage to clean up the dead crickets and i want to add other isopods, zebras specifically but im no expert and im concerned that might not be the best choice. Which type would you recommend and would you add any other insects in such enclosures as well?
I’d really like to start keeping Zebras, but if you’re keeping them as pets, how on earth do you handle the fact that they keep multiplying? I’m probably the only person interested in isopods who doesn’t want them to breed so much…what you DO with all of them?
Great question. While they are nocturnal in nature, I see mine out all the time. However, if I overturn a piece of wood, I see them scattering for the other, darker side. Great indicator that they are nocturnal.
@@SupremeGecko I bought half dozen of zebra isopod. What do you think Is the proper size of enclosure for them? Is 6 quarts too big for them? Thank you
I'm a bit late to this video but i read that they like their temperature at 36 C (75 - 85 f) and my room temperature is usually around 21 - 23. how would you go about temperature, does it matter that much? thinking about getting some heating pad or similar. Oh and how are they doing today, really curious and thanks for the video.
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, first time isopod owner here! I have some questions for you: what humidity percentage should I keep them at? In my research I’ve seen that zebra isopods thrive at slightly drier humidities than millipedes and other isopods, but I can’t find a consistent/reliable humidity. Also, is misting at the surface good enough? Or at some point should I re-mist the entire “tub” worth of substrate?
I don't check humidity at all. Make sure you follow the moist side advice and you will be good. And I don't mist anymore. I pore water down the side of the moist area.
Armadillidium Vulgare, because they are available everywhere. Beyond that, I would have no idea. My reason is because it is like when Super Mario Brothers came with the NES video game system, everyone with the game system, owns the game, so the game is automatically the most commonly owned for the NES.
Zebras seem to prefer to use cork bark like apartments instead of as smorgasbords! Not that i blame them, it looks like it must be cozy to hide inside cork bark if youre a tiny isopod! They must think theyre very well hidden.
Hi Wally :)) Thanks for the info...Im wondering if zebras (or any isopods) do better in groups or does it matter? I just bought some zebras, pulled them out to put them in their new container, and I saw babies in the small deli cup they came in. I do not want to use the substrate in the deli cup as Ive seen a few fungus flies. Is it ok to grow these babies in their deli cup til they are bigger then move them with the adults? Can I keep the containers in a paper grocery bag or something to control the fungus flies? Thanks a lot !
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.
@@SupremeGecko sir, i'm breeding them now, the vulgare. More exciting because I see on Japanese RUclips, we can selective breed them and get various color, albino, marble, and more, I see the zebra species have multi colors too with their stripes, i'm sure this armadillidium have big potential as fancy vivarium pet
Thanks for the video! I’m planning to make a giant closed terrarium, depending on the ventilation level will they be suitable for an aquarium fish tank size closed terrarium as clean-up crews?
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
Dairy cows and zebras are very affordable. I would never get rubber duckies--not only are they shy they cost too much that can represent losing that much money.
@@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.
Make sure you check our our Isopod and Millipede store at supremegecko.square.site/s/shop?page=1&limit=60&sort_by=name&sort_order=asc

Do they hide a lot , I have a starter culture of 8 and I can only seem to find one
They like to stay on the underside of wood. They sometimes will burrow too. You should find more than one if you have 8 though.
