The most common ones that I have seen when google isopods

pillbugs: Armadillidium vulgare
woodlice: Porcellio scaber

What are the names of those fancier ones like the orange isopods, etc? I'm also looking for care.

On the care part all i do is use a k.k and fill it a bit with soil then add some cardboard on the top[don't cover all the bottom]and some leaves,moisten everything and then add the isopods.And feed them when they need more leaves and then mist them when it gets dry[not too dry] its easy if i can keep them then anyone can!

The orange isopods are also a Porcellio sp.
And, you don't need any cardboard in there.
