Okay, so I had bought these as a. dentiger off a seller on FB. While packing my order, however, he realized that these don't look like a. dentiger at all and asked if I was still ok with having them. I said of course, and I told him I had a microscope that I could use to take some close ups to help determine species. I originally thought they were t. pusillus, but others who have t. pusillus said that they're fairy smooth (and google images can back that up), whereas my isos have a distinctly hairy appearance. I also don't think they're costa rican purple, because a few other sellers that have them have both species and would have surely noticed if they were the same. Isopod.com and Roach Crossing both have this particular variety, mislabeled as a. dentiger. Isopod.com also has some good pics of them so you can get a better look. Any thoughts/suggestions is welcome and appreciated, and I did my best with these pics I took. I also unfortunately do not know who collected the original culture and from where. I have been referring to them as "Hairy Isopods" until positive ID can be made.
