Great vid :D, awesome information! though i do feel like you missed some stuff in the video #1 sustainable harvesting of bark + moss the standard dont take more than 1/3 of a pile of bark/ a patch of moss etc to leave some for wild bugs and other wildlife to eat hide in etc. (i feel 1/10th is better. Taking less and over a large area also allows for patches of moss to regrow (especially for such a slow growing lil plant) and sustainably harvest over a long period of time. I also personally would emphasize only taking already fallen bark and not bark still stuck on fallen logs since again many bugs do make it their home, and stripping logs isnt really the best practice lol. #2 i feel like the issue with replicating the enviroments in a lot of isopods is that a lot of people are like, yeah all these cubaris are from limestone caves in thailand, even if they are from other areas in asia etc. There are not a whole lot of locality pictures / locations since importers can be very defensive of their collection spots (to prevent others from collecting which is great honestly, less likely for the undescrived isopod to go extinct from over collection and expoitaion of the population or because their collecting from like a natuonal preserve and what their doing is literally illegal lol) and a whole lot of misinformation in the hobby. (this is my understanding of the issue) I hear a lot of “limestone cave pods” are kind of found on rock faces/ hole in the ground/ under a rock lol, not really true cave pods. #3 i personally feel that cork batk has its uses, esp in vivs where you dont want your background or bark to get nibbled on. Good for long lasting hides and can be farmed (cork trees regrow their bark) (pretty sustainable as far as i know). also i feel that some species of tree for hides are definitly superior to others, i like how cork has all the little crevices and holes that some sp of tree bark simply do not

The zoo is going to be so cool!! I think the bat is the best 😆 🦇. Also lightning is gorgeous!! - Aunica from Earlys on 51st Street. ✌️

Beautiful snake! Those isopods on the artwork don't look familiar. I bet they are a rare species. Lol. I am currently moving my armadillidium gestroi to new containers to give them some fresh substrate and leaf litter. Your substrate video is my reference for that kind of thing. I am enjoying the process of your zoo evolving and enjoyed the video.

amazing video though there is always a risk when introducing outside/wild sources into captive bred species’ environment. And some people don’t live in areas that have these materials outside. For me, I live in a desert that has limited fauna and most fauna is adapted for dry and arid environments, so if i tried putting in fauna from outside into my enclosures, there would be problems not only due to the fact that the fauna would probably not thrive, but also the many opportunities for pathogenic organisms to be introduced into my home and other animals. Valley fever is common where I live for one example, and i have a dog and a few reptiles, i can’t risk anything like that. However, for people that live in more tropical or abundant environments, it is not a bad thing to sterilize or simply clean your materials. I’m not advising anyone to do anything, but in a scientific standpoint, captive bred species are generally less adapted to wild-type organisms and other pathogens that your colonies might not have the immunity or strength to fight. While it is good that many have success in creating wild environments for their isopods/inverts, there is always a risk when bringing stuff from outside, not just for the isopods, but for the rest of your house too.

Biggs! I didn't know you knew Adam! Love it, good to see you over on this side of the tube ✌️🐠🦎 can't wait to see what the building turns into! 🏡

I’m glad she went to a good home! I’ll keep working on my art!

I’m assuming Adam has kids. That like to do art. 😊

oh the Bat is my favorite

Ha love it! So glad she made it safe and sound!! Glad Adam sent "his" art too😂

Great video as always. #1 lol

You are my absolute guru. I am trying really hard to follow your isopod substrate ethos but....my kitchen is full of soggy drowned moss, leaves and white rot wood and i can't get it dry. This is November and i live in Scotland. I've tried the oven on the fan setting. That works but takes about 8 hours to dry a tiny amount. I'm terrified I'm going to get fungus gnats. And kill my new pets. Help

Ed and Emily are the best

Just picked up 7 of these guys I'm so happy with them I hope I do well with them

Thank you for all the info. I'm new to isopods. Have now collected lots of natural components. Much to my husbands disgust😂 if i do get cubaris pods should i also be using hard or soft limestone pieces to give them "caves"?

Acanthoscurria geniculata😊

What a great video! Thank you! I just got into Reptiles and bioactive enclosures. In doing that I have stepped into the world of isopod. This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on isopod!

I think a big point to be made depending to the species to is that most people keep isopods inside thus the temperature variable changes how they would naturaly act through temp changes.

Very challenging plant to keep in a terrarium, even in humid Lima. Wonderful presentation. Thank you!

Ive been using cork like a fool!

HEY Mr Biggs! 😀

We had a blast hangin with you at the ACA convention in ohio

is that an old female

Wow, that's some grand scheme. Looking forward to seeing your updates.

Wow, you’ve got some grand plans!

Happy you’re back and well! Excited to see where this build goes!

Hehe you were telling me about this at the breeders expo. Great video as always

Its great to see another video from you. I'm looking forward to seeing your new building in use and new videos you plan to present.

So glad that you are healthy and back.

Morning Wood lmao

Looken good 👍

Congratulations!

I did comment, but it went to your other channel somehow 🤔 good to see you are well mate 👍 👊🇦🇺🔥

He’s Back!

Stunning. I just got a well started sling and will be rehousing this weekend along with a number of new poecis and other SE Asian fossorials. They are simply stunning!

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy

All mine breed crazy in terrariums. No sterilizing anything ever. They live happily with small snails and millipedes. I collect branches with lots of bark and they munch on them. I add branches and leaf litter. But to deal with waste I use plants. I use false bottoms on them all. I found adding seiryu rock naturally helps them with calcium. They use the rock like a salt lick. My set ups are semi closed, but I live in the sub tropics. If you don't have suitable leaf litter, Indian Almond leaves is a great substitute too and break down slowly. Collect branches and bark that is well dried out and not green. I don't wash anything, just examine it well before I put it in. I missed a spider once and just removed it and put it back outside.

just got my darts a month ago! cant wait to see up dates on yours!

Do you keep moss in water for a few days to sterilize it? Or how do you go about that?

Hi Mad Aquarist - I want to get more specific info when it comes to cubaris sp Questions: 1. Given there's enough space in the bin with good amount of nutrients, humidity, half dry, half moist - can cubaris sp like Lemon Blue and White Ducky live together? BumbleBee and Cappuccino? Red Panda and Penguin? 2. Considering the size, will cubaris sp attack other cubaris sp? Or it's only about the food where competition might take place? 3. Any suggestion of cubaris sp that can live together? Not for the purpose of interbreeding or morphing, but want to see if cubaris sp have harmony in the ecosystem. Thank you!

No

Very very well done, for a first timer.

I’ve just purchased a giant white knee . And looking forward to seeing it grow and eventually going in something like that Amazing

The one thing that doesn't get mentioned about Snake Discovery is all the reptiles they rescue, rehab & adopt out after!! They have saved hundreds of reptiles to date just with their adoption program!!!

Hi, my name is Dale. I just started the breed Discord cockroaches cause I have some big tarantulas In my collection, can you give me any tips how to breed excessively? Just cockroaches, it's my first time doing it. I love you video, really entertainment value. A lot of knowledge you have Mad Aquarius Real

This is gorgeous! I would love to see an update with how she's webbed her space.

Look, mine blooms all the time. The smell isn't mildly pungent but it isn't "absolutely putrid". Honestly it's not that strong. Up close it smells a but bad and you can smell it in the room mildly. I love them. Exceptional video! Thank you for sharing!

Just subscribe$ as I got a sun tiger sling 5 days ago

🏚🪚😢🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🦅🦅🦅

Yes this is the way!
