I remember Bob Ross loved animals and sometimes had them on his show, you're literally Bob Ross if he decided to go for his passion of animals instead of painting.
Lol probably true
@@evershyxoxo2972 I’m sure that’s why the comparison arose in the first place... sigh
@@evershyxoxo2972 no the comparision was firstly due to the afro. you added the afro as if it's a mind blowing fact
He comes from the future of a different universe
He has the hairstyle too
i appreciate the shot of you bumping into those roots on a kayak when you say “we’ve never strayed farther from our roots” in the intro
*where can I get isopods?* me: Go outside flip a giant rock over, there you go. I mean that’s how I got mine.
• Lmaosady • same I just let them breed for like 3 months
I swear to god I haven’t seen a single wild isopod since I was a kid
god is dead you likely don’t tip over dozens of rocks and downed trees like you used to as when you were a kid
Eric Carve I sure do lmao I still have the one I found almost last year.
They love to live by trees too and on the bark. That's my jackpot spot I usually get a ton.
You should do an update on these isopods I would love to see how your colonies have grown in the couple months since setup.
I'd like to see his operation now. Jeez, I thought this was a new video. It's old af
Im from east texas, we called them rolly pollies.
Same
I've heard everyone everywhere call it that but isopod is more like the scientific term
@@cinnadel I'm in N.Y. and they call it rollie pollies her to but I'm from the west coast and the same name there
I'm from California and I've also lived in Texas Oklahoma and Colorado and I'm pretty sure they are called that every where
We called them pill bugs here in California.
Mom can we have a Bob Ross?
We already have him at home
Bob Ross at home:
Yes! I love isopods! I have zebras in with my millipedes, it's cool to watch them trundling about. I feed rotted oak wood and birch leaves to both the 'pods and 'pedes.
Eta: We call them "chucky pigs" in the south west of England.
The zebras also really like fresh moss so I go up to the woods and find big fallen bits of oak that have a good moss covering.
“Chucky pigs” is a new one, thanks for sharing
I love keeping Isopods.
All hours are real isopod hours.

Same here, except parasites like botflies, I want to vomit whenever I think of something like that.
Perfect timing Dan! Just ordered my first isopods and this video will for sure help me out. Amazing video as always.
Thanks for the video, Daniel! I appreciate the explanation of the setups, as I'm hoping to get into cultivating isopods/springtails for bioactive setups very soon! The mesh is a good idea; I had been wondering how to provide ventilation while still preventing escapes.
As always, exactly the information I was looking for. Thanks Daniel!
Woo hoo!! Gotta love them isopods! Can’t wait for some updates!
Yesterday when i saw one of your room tour a got so satisfied and it would be cool with a grow tent update
When I was a kid I played with these. I loved them. They were so fascinating.
You are such a great speaker / presenter. Loved your video and can't wait till spring comes to Canada so I can go out and find some isopods for my terrariums.
Spectacular work. You certainly have quite a few beautiful isopods. Great video!
Happy happy little isopods
This was so helpful and informative - thanks so much!
Great video, I absolutely love Isopods
I just got into keeping isopods and what a nice surprise when I search isopod care and afroherpkeeper comes up!:)
Love your mission statement.
Thanks for this tutorial! If it wasn't winter I'd run outside and collect the local species and set up a colony!
cool stuff, thanks for doing this
Omg💕💕💕 i love your hairs !!! Beautiful
Hey, Daniel- I'm teaching my Austin middle schoolers about isopods now. -- And you're wearing the shirt I illustrated
!
I went to High School in the 70’s with a guy named Paul that had a huge “Natural” like yours. He became a software wizard.
And the last I heard he was VERY wealthy. That’s good because he’s a nice guy. Good Video Cheers.
I absolutely love the intro btw
I love what you do!
Awesome, thank you for all the info. Just caught some natives to hopefully incorporate into a terrarium.
Love the fro!
Great video. Have some salamander soil was just wondering maybe I can use that for my isopods set up. now have to buy more bags at hydroponic store they're on clearance.
This really peeked my interest may need to get some
Great video next summer i wanna go hunting for some local isopods and breed them for all of my enclosures.
Great Video!! 😊 I love how you explain everything about the isopods😊 i am sorry for my comment Weeks ago... You doing an awesome Job Daniel, keep Up the good work 😊💪
I’ve only watched the intro, and I already liked it!!!
Good video bro! I had some deciduous bonsai trees out for the winter and when they came back in to the window sill for spring isopods keep flushing out the bottom every time I water. Now my moss terrarium is becoming an isopod haven for them, but I needed to know exactly how best to keep them. Should be easy now.
Love the new intro!
thanks for making a ispod video
New favorite channel
Update please! Love the video
Love the new intro
Happy little isopods :)
ahhhhh that soldering idea is so useful, i wish i knew it what i was making all my mushroom tubs so i didn't shatter so much plastic
Haha, it’ll definitely work for those too!
Thx for putting out this care guide. What isopod could I use in a well ventilated bearded dragon pvc enclosure?
I loved this video. We are going to be breeding isopods as well. Looking for some more unusual isopods to buy but have several started already.
Would love to see an update on these isopods. How are they doing? Are they breeding? Wally
Dude literally not even a minute in and you’ve got my sub lol this channel seems great so far
Love the new intro btw
I caught some Isopods in my backyard and have kept them for a few weeks now! I don't have side ventilation on their enclosure and they've seemed to be doing just fine so far, I'd put some in but I don't have anything to store them in while I refurbish their current home.
I'm from germany we call them kellerasseln and the live eeeverywhere, i really didn't know that some people keep them as pets😂
How could they survive in Germany ? especially in winter 🤷🏻♀️🥶
You're wild mix looks like you picked up some gold flexs, they are a gorgeous species one of my favorites such a subtle beauty.
I just gotta say I love your intro
you're amazing... seriously
Bought some cultures earlier this year for my 2 first inclosures. I really should’ve bred them first. I just went out back and grabbed a couple pots of soil and got some isopods. Hopefully i can breed these ones!
I live in Tennessee, it's cold and I'm wondering if I can find some of those rn with this weather
YAS YAS FINALLY 👏👏👏👏👏
Wow, thanks this was really helpful!!!! My favorites are the clown isopods!
randomly clicked this vid here after finding some isopods
i dont even know you
but i just fell in love with the montage and the way you make your vids
subbed
I love isopods, getting mine soon! (A. vulgare gem-mix)
I found those same little sheets of mesh at a hardware store and i cant remember the place! They were perfect for enclosures.
Hello afroherpkeeper, which isopod you recommend as cleaner crew? Please answer mate. Sorry for bad english
You have fabulous hair 👍🏻
Idk about the things what ever says about you. You rock :D
I have a glass terrarium with a mesh lid would that cause the air to be to stagnant? If so I can do something else I just wanted to use that one since I already have it
Question! Dose any live plants help with stagnant air? I have 2 glass terrarium with some ferns in them. Slugs seem to like one, but I wanted to put pull bugs in the other, but it's got a cork lid
I didn’t know what isopods where ty
Can you do an up date on these id love to see what they all look like now
Lolll the name alone made me subscribe. The personality kept me for the video. My intrest is what brought me here. :)
UNITY I HERE IT IN THE BACK
BACKGROUND
I'm wondering if a Kritter keeper would be suitable? Figure I'd need to add mesh though to help keep some of them in. :)
how about a quick update on how these turned out please?
Love the intro
How do you not have more subs man? For real thank you so much for sharing info on these animals and bugs. I want to keep a population of wild isopods for my turtle and fish. My painted turtle loves them and I have a few types of wild fish that will not take any store bought fish foods and think they are sick of eating guppy fry.
Thanks for this video Daniel. This is awesome!! I loved the intro as well. Very cool. I currently have zebra isopods. When I got them there were 9 in the cup. Is that enough to start a colony? Or should I buy more?
Definitely enough to start a colony if you give them what they need, I had about that many to start too.
I’m trying to breed some of my zebra isopods but I haven’t seen any babies yet is there something special I have to do or do they like it dryer because I only mist one side of the enclosure once a week.
just btw, i found a huge collection in an underground sprinkler box thing, so idk if the airflow is that important, but it should still be freshened every day at least
You should do a vid on the grow tent for blue
It will happen in due time, I have lots of other stuff I'm working on
I want to get a isopod clean up crew for my blue tongued skin do you think that is a good idea
do you add any extra food? or do they only eat the decaying items inside the bin? will you introduce springtails or do you do those separate in charcoal containers? thank you for your time! :)
Can I use newspaper chunks instead of dirt?
I have to idea where to get an inclosure for isopods so im using a shoe box
Hey Daniel! I realize this is an older video but I was wondering how these cultures are doing with that salamander soil for you? I’m going to the Tinley Park expo this coming week and hope to find a few starter cultures of Millie’s and isos! Just getting things set up before the trip. Cheers!!
Did he ever get back to you about the soil?
Just ordered my first orange isopods! Great video!
How are your colonies doing?!
Momma wants rubber ducky isopods...
Is it okay if the organic party in the soil has vermiculite and or perlite?
How do you keep the enclosures from getting mold? Just keeping them from getting too wet I assume?
What kind of containers are those. I want to make a larger breeding container for my isopods and those seem perfect?
15:06 Lol, looks like a tangerine slice!
This guy is crazy...not afraid of crocs...it’ll turn on you someday!
Hehe, there are not a lot of people with afros where i live, so my sisters friend saw u and said "WOOOOW, he had a lot of cool hair" 😂😂😂
Please do another reptile room tour or a tiger salamander tank review and by the way where did you get your tiger salamander
Big Boy Bandz he got his Tiger Salamanders from CatAleah.
Do you have any issues with springtails getting out of the ventilation holes? In my regular closed terrariums, the springtails tend to climb up the walls, so I am hesitant to putting them into an isopod enclosure (though I know most people do).
How long would you recommend letting wild caught isopods breed out before introducing them to a bioactive enclosure?
What are some isopods best to use with beardies
Can you make a video about tortoise brumation?
can you go to kenn kamp and bring some of your reptile
So how often would I need to mist the enclosure?
how many isopods would you recommend to use to start up you culture
Why did you have spring tails in with the isopods ?
This kid is the best. Too bad life destroys this. For now he is perfect
What's recommended for high humidity?
