You can usually find them in bog pond perimeters. I actually purchased them for introduction into my pygmy chameleon habitat that was set-up in mid winter when I couldn't find any at home. I would say they came in with crickets, but they could have been in the potting media of any live plants or unsterilized organic soil that may have been introduced into your tank. Many people introduce them into larger, damper habitats. Poison dart frog owners use them in PD set-ups. They are available for purchase at several terrarium supply houses, such as blackjungle.com and terrariumconcepts.com and many of the fruit flie breeders sell them with isopods and flour beetles. Di
Ill stay away from the bog i you dont mind. Unless i have my bog roll with me.. but even then im not going to be looking for bugs in the bog lol

I think the isopods can tolerate drier conditions. They like to hang out under rotting logs, boards, between and under stones, etc. I go out about once a month and gather them for my "pig" pen. Di
you dont have any probs with WC isopods?
