Who Cultures Isopods?

[Malhavoc's]

yeah was years ago, no haven't moved, visiting for the second time auf duetchland, intresting and fun but led me to alot of trouble.

I wasnt aware people actualy cultured these I just threw them in my moist T tanks and ended up having to thin them out once every few months. Rainy day today so no pics, maybe tommorow

I keep them to eat old veggies.

more isopod baby pictures

i think some of my babies are 4i or maybe even 5i now. dunno, need to read about them =P

the ones with the "stripe" down their back are the largest babies in my container

the thumbnail pic is kind of interesting, a bit. i took a couple copies of the same picture and cropped one down then copy and pasted from the other on to it. i kind of like the effect. all the bugs in this picture are at the same scale... or at least the same scale they all were in the original large resolution picture makes me wish i used more than MSPaint a little bit =P

(No, it's not freshly molted, so don't ask/tell me it is.)

Loads of websites sell cultures of isopods here in the UK. Locally referred to as 'woodlice' I think our most common species the P scaber (is that right?) and is commonly sold on dartfrog keepers websites etc

Makes getting hold of some for us inner city dwellers who don't have gardens, much easier

Couple examples are here at http://www.bristolinverts.co.uk and http://dartfrog.co.uk/livefoods.html

Caco, it's near adult size.

I can post more shots of it, if you like.
