Glomeris pustulata

It’s not an isopod, but a millipede! Sorry for the quality, but my phone camera does not excel at macro and I had tone quick before the little one at the top disappeared from view! I only recently discovered mine had reproduced as the little ones are quite shy (without the lure of food).
@The wolf Actually, I believe that they are quite hardy little millipedes. The huge species of pill millipedes from Madagascar are the ones that do not survive, much less reproduce, in captivity. These species are slow-growing and do not reproduce in large numbers but they are not finicky on temperature (my apartment varies between 65 and 85F throughout the year) and eat a variety of foods.
