These Isopods are AWESOME

- Introducing some new isopods... and some other miscellaneous updates. The isopods came courtesy of Justin and Peter of Dart Knight Exotics. They sent these as a way to showcase just a few of the captive bred isopods they offer. The same are showcased on the poster that was made in collaboration with ZTHphoto. Watch the video and see the below links for details.
ALSO I apologize for the buzzing sound throughout the video. I was having issues with my mic that I didn't notice until I started editing the video.
Isopods are really neat and something that aren't “just for kids” anymore. This is a serious hobby that a lot of people are getting into that also goes hand in hand with everything else I show on the channel. I'd imagine that most people watching this video like/own isopods of their own. Even if you don't or don't intend on doing so, hopefully you can appreciate those little “rollie pollies” next time you see them. They are a very important component to most ecosystems, which is why they are so heavily implemented in bioactive setups. Some of them also look pretty cool as well.
You can use promo code “serpa15” on ZTHphoto's entire Etsy store and on all of Dart Knight Exotics. Like I said in the video, I don't receive compensation. This is just for your personal use if you're interested.

First off I'M VERY SORRY for the buzzing feedback throughout the video. I did my best to try and get rid of it in post, but I could only do so much. I was having issues with my mic/camera and almost didn't upload the video because of it. I figured the show must go on. If you can't watch because of it I understand. Anyways enjoy the ispods (rollies pollies, pill bugs, potatoe bugs, woodlice) or whatever you like to call them. Personally I like “pill bugs” as that's what we said as kids, but I'm curious what you call them. Let me know! Also check out the video description for links/information.
Roly Polys
SerpaDesign hey do you think I will need isopods with springtails for a Bioactive enclosure for a crested gecko
They're called woodlice here in the UK.
Где купить этих изоподов?
Your audio jack or cables attached are knackered.
The buzzing isn't an error its the isopods sending hidden messages to other isopods that might be watching.
One part says *"help our kind escape"*
Person The Persom I disagree I think they’re trying to tell us which are the best entry points in Area 51
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ohhh I see what it says now
Can confirm.
Source: I am an isopod
Fun fact: Isopods are closer related to shrimps and lobsters than they are to insects.
The_Great McGnome oh
Yeah true, they're not insects or even bugs at all. They're crustaceans!
@@lizardqueen99 so..land dwelling crustaceans..awesome!
@@c.dub6721 yeah there's a few types of crustaceans that are terrestrial. Look up coconut crabs lmao
That is what I thought!
How are the Rubber Duckie isopods doing?
I was also thinking of them. They are my favorite. So cute.
I thought you were just at the wind-up till I Googled it... I was like wow... how cool are they B-)
Oh my god they are ridiculous, thank you for introducing me to them
Who else used to dig up these little guys in the garden. I used to called them rollie pollies😀
I missed me!!! Once me and my siblings dug up up a bunch and put them on the side walk trying to ‘herd’ em
Yep
I used to collect the 'pill bug' type in a bucket. I only liked the ones that rolled into a perfect little ball tho
Me too!! I didn't like handling most bugs but loved holding roly-polies! They're cute little guys with funny little faces.
I love that Tanner just casually keeps 11 species of isopods. Fantastic!
Most Isopod keepers have more than that so its pretty normal
I had a colony of isopods but I went to the hospital and my grandmother threw them out because she thought it was only dirt in the container.😓

Do you have to do any maintenance on the colonies? I’ve always liked rolypolies. They’re the only bugs I like, and they’re a crustacean, not even an insect! 😆 I loved the “Yellow Panda” on the poster
funny i really liked the king panda
Yep, keep it moist. Ventilation, a cuttle bone, all organic no pesticides, with organic food, banana chips, mushrooms etc
I once found a pretty common one, but it was completely blue.
But I didn't know how to care for them, so I let it go of course.
In dutch they're called "pissebedden" which kinda means bed-wetters.
It had a virus then, ik ben ook Nederlands whaha, ik heb een hele kolonie pissenbedden
Problably because of a iridovirus bur some marine isopodes are naturaly blue
In my country, Denmark, we call them bench-biters.
that's english
@@milfordcubicle9950 thanks buddy. I assumed you'd be unable to pronounce "bænkebidere".
@Timothy Newitt I'm no expert, but as far as I can gather, the name is due to their appearance near or on wooden benches, and the fact that they digest and break down wood - often the bench itself. We have several frequently used bench/seating designs that use untreated wooden logs.
they eat decaying wood, and benches are sometimes made of wood.
in england we call em "belly button beetles"
Everything you upload is a gift. I'm getting my first two aquariums from some family friends who don't want them anymore (a 20gal and a 56gal!) and am planning to keep some fun communities in natural scapes. Was thinking of doing a sweetpotato roots tank for the 20, after seeing one online. Will definitely be a fun project! Thanks again for the lovely videos and inspiration Tanner (:
I LOVE those Armadillidium Montenegro (clowns) and of course, your Rubber Duckies!!!!!!
I really enjoyed this! Isopods are my favorite. Thanks for the detailed information. ✌😆
a isopod and a bl fan respect bro
If you just turn your sound down you can hear him fine without the buzzing :D
Yeeees my Montenegros and my Dairy Cows are probably my FAVORITE of my pod species! They're so damn cute!
Very cool video, you actually made me thinking about getting Isopods ^^ They look really cool, hope you can expand your collection as well and i'm thrilled for future updates! Just wanted to say that i love your content, its so nice to see someone care so much about plants and all different kinds of animals! God bless you and your wife! :) Greetings from Germany!
So cute! We call them 'slaters' where I'm from in Scotland. Looking forward to all your new projects!
Wow that's a new one to me! I've never heard that one before.
We call them Slaters in Australia too
I'm very excited for the future of your channel. Also love the poster, I would totally get something like that if I was more into isopods.
I really like how dark knight exotics used Histrionicotoxin 283A as part of their logo. It’s one of the many Histrionicotoxins found in the skin of poison dart frogs from Colombia. 0:51
What exact kind of substrate do you use for your isopods? Your rubber ducky isopods? Do every type of isopods have the same care? I really want to Get rubber ducky isopods! They are so amazing!
I always knew them as woodlouse or woodlice but since watching your videos I now affectionately refer to them as isopods or isobugs 🤪👍
Nice justin and Peter are good people. Couple of local frog and isopod keepers
It's *ISOPOD HOUR*
I can definitely tell your videos are getting better. The pond one was amazing! this one too, Keep up the good work!
Tanner, thanks for the great vid! Also, I really like your current logo! It seems very artistic! If you didn't change it, I wouldn't mind! 😀🐸🌿👍
I used to be scared of them whenever I'd see them in the nature, but since I found out how good they are for the plants and the soil, I kinda think they're cool :) like spiders.
The first ones you showed looked so awesome, like terrestrial shrimps hahah
Same but i still would not touch them with hands... Imagining them walking on my fingers gives me goosebumps 😫
I've always had a little bit of a fascination with isopods, or, as we call them here in West Virginia, potato bug, and would regularly catch them, and observer them for a little while. But, after learning more and more about them, the fascination had increased tremendously. I never knew there were so many types out there, and they look very different from one another. Anyway, very cool video on the isopods, and I can't wait to see what more you do with your animal room.
Aaaaay, I've been following the photographer on Insta for a while and saw his posts about making that poster. Pretty awesome to see it pop up, and be credited, here. :D
They could just use dead isopods to take the picture on the poster lol.
FB account? check out "roly poly enthusiasts"
This video makes me wanna get isopods but I wouldn’t even know where to start
Alberto Ventura check out his channel for other isopod videos then also go check out AquariMax’s channel. Tons of videos to enjoy and learn about isopods. AquariMax has an online store for his isopods with fair prices, too. Also, you can just google isopods for sale and find lots of people selling them.
I started with Zebras, which are really active and fun to watch, but there are cheaper ways to enter the hobby - even collecting some outside from a park or a yard.
Cheers!
Alberto Ventura do you have a discord account? theres a great isopod server im in that can tell you everything
i love isopods!!! they're all so cute. i used to call them rollie pollies as a kid but now i just refer to the ones here as woodlice!
I don’t think you once said “wood lice”
white isopods look like large springtail
I love all your camera angles by the way 😊
*It's Isotope time*
nice video,i like your stuff, if you like planted tanks with snails, frogs and shrimps look at my videos, greetings from germany
Awesome.. The common name for them in Scotland is... "Granny Slaters" Don't ask why lol I haven't a clue
Lol me either! Just saw that in someone else's comment too. Never heard of them being called that before.
I have a terrarium of Rolie Polies, and I've just discovered that they've had babies. I had these for MONTHS and only found out yesterday, lol.
Now, I can officially call it a colony 😁
ILTD5580 congratulations 😊
@@Lalaloopstylover828 Thank you😁
Next up; giant isopod for the pond
Can I double like this?
Im just wondering were people get or catch spring tails
@Eriss R. not in where i live atleast. Ive dug and upturned my garden. Ive even buried wood hoping they colonize.
In Germany we call them
Kellerasseln
The rubber ducky isopods are the best
We call them Slaters here in Western Australia.
this is me if you even care
Hmm what should i watch today....
Hmmm... Maybe tanner play with bugs...
(I know they arent really bugs)
strange 1 I call them bugs too. Luckily “bugs” is not a scientific term 😆
Axolotlotl “True bugs” are actually a scientific classification. They’re insects that have mouthparts designed for piercing and sucking.
Felix Arthur welp, learn something new every day. Also, bug can mean “any small invertebrate animal, especially one with several pairs of legs.” Therefore, these guys can be considered bugs
@@mel0dicHarp they are actually closer to crustaceans and have modified gills on the underside (flip one over you will see) they use the moisture in the places where they live
And other varies of isopods live in the ocean even
Finally youtube is recommending the content I actually want to see!
Always been a big fan of isopods, so these variants were awesome to see! I am excited for your channels future.

I admire your organization. I have OCD (like really diagnosed not when most people say "im OCD") and ADHD. I have an obsession with being organized like you because my OCD. But have the inability to a degree because my ADHD lol. But my OCD mostly wins out when my animals come into play. Unorganized and impulsive when I do it, but done as 200% as I can. Lol
German is reeeeaaally weird, when it comes to synthesizing words, because a lot of simple words seem to drastically change meaning, when combined with affixes. One example:
Zug = train
Einzug = the act of moving in
Aufzug = elevator
Abzug = trigger
Bezug = reference
Überzug = cover
Zuzug = immigration
And on top of that all of these german words also have OTHER completely different meanings.
ISOPOD HOUR MY DUDES
Since I was a child, I had always really like isopods. I never think about keep some guys at home, I was thinking people find me weird enougth when I say how much I find them SO CUTE AND INTERESTING! And now that I know you and you show us that... Oh my god I have so much ideas in mind now... I just want know much more about them and try ton find some to invite in my next studio.
Very excited for you. These are 3 very nice animals to add to your collection. Congratulations.
Dude, maybe you're the one that can solve a lifelong mystery. When I was a kid, I liked to catch ant lions. One that I caught was black, very big, and moved forward, not backward. So what WAS that?
really nice additions to your collection ^-^ i have 4 Isopod colonies (A.Klugii Montenegro, Porcellio laevis Orange, Porcellio laevis Panda and porcellio Hoffmannseggi
Iv heard them called sow bugs, we called them potato bugs, tho.
There's that flat -looking kind, but also, the roly poly kind tha roll into a ball. What is it's scientific name? Thanks
Very cute little buddies. :)
Did you try audio cleaning? It seems like it would be a pretty simple thing to fix by sampling the buzz and removing with the audio cleaner but I suppose the ease of that depends on the software you're using. I use Magix Movie Edit Pro 17.
Crazy how expensive these isopods are....they are free in my backyard! ...lol
Anybody have any good online sources or swaps for terrarium inhabitants...I've set up a terrarium and spent $50 on a small container with springtails, isopods, and beetles. Looking to help my nephews set up some terrariums, but not wanting to drop a couple hundred bucks on bugs for a few terrariums
I made a worm-bin and introduced some roly-polies from my outdoor compost. Now I have a Huge number of them in all stages of their life-cycle. I thought they were simply decomposers, but as it turns out they actually chew and damage the plants and their roots. So I can't use the castings for my plants. Now I want to get rid of them, without killing them, but how? I don't want to dump them outside, because I do not want to let the red wigglers loose, which is apparently not great for the environment. Any thoughts?
Hi Serpa! Because of all of your amazing videos, I set up a bioactive paludarium for my Cuban Knight Anole, Calypso. Everything is going swimmingly except the fact that she ate the Betta fish that was sharing space with her and is now devouring my isopods instead of the food I am trying to feed her lol. I love your fancy isos but I am so afraid that Calypso would just eat them that I have resorted to just catching them and earthworms in my garden instead of buying them.
I think there was a bee on your microphone lol
You being a fish guy as well will appreciate something like a small amazon puffer or some kind of puffer fish assuming you can house one. I used to feed my puffer isopods, and since isopods are basically a shrimp, they can survive submerged in water and walk around the tank for quite some time. My puffer would love these, and you could hear the crunching from the outside of the tank when he would eat... I have had a few puffers, but the Amazon puffer was my favorite. I think you should get one someday! would be fun to watch
I just love that set up! So calming watching fish and plant and other species in your habitats.
I’m so glad I found your channel ❤️
Rolly polies are so cool. When I was kid I always wanted to know how they curled up into such tight ball... on a separate note I have a pet frog, my very first. He came to me as a tadpole when my mom rescued him from an educational display where she worked and he’s doing great now! But I’d like to set him up with a bio active home that represents his native habitat. He’s some kind of North American leopard frog (most likely) and I’d love some tips on how to mimic that environment. If anyone here in the comments has any ideas I’d love to hear them, because I don’t have a clue 😆
Hey... Your works are really great and inspiring... I have been following your channel for long time and learned a lot from your work... By the way I have a question here...
Is it really important to mix up the soil with spangnam moss as you do it to retain moisture?? As here in my locality it is difficult to get some... And also want to know if i can use simple garden soil to make my terrerium??
Here in the UK we call them woodlouse (plural woodlice).
Pill bugs is a fun name... wish I thought of that when I was a kid lol.
funny how u know multiple Isopods by their scientific name butt every plastic box is Tupperware to you ;)
Indexed by number with a separate sheet like they have in a museum would likely be my preference... great poster though!!
Looks like you lost your values and are now giving yourself away for advertisement. Of course you do not get commision...only all the free stuff they sent you. This is really heinous and not nice to watch, how you sell yourself... Nice coincidence that they hook you up with all that stuff shortly after this freakin expensive poster is available for sale...
Also it is against the law to advertise without a disclaimer, especially when you are having so many followers/subscribers
Did you just say “ I have a coupon for you guys to get 15%off your purchase, I don’t make any commission off of it” You’re amazing
Sorry, I'm a little confused, (first world problems) but are these classed as your pets? or have you got a future for them...food?
Oh dang, 123 different types? There's a lot of them in north eastern Washington. I've seen lots of gray and brown ones, both rolly pollies and the ones that don't roll up, and the occasional rare white ones. I used to catch lots of bugs when I was a kid.
I just want to thank you because my whole view of isopods has done a 180 after seing your videos. Now whenever I find one in my house, instead of being grossed out, I scoop it up and put it in my terrarium and it's so satisfying watching them take care of any fallen leaves or bits of debris.
Can the isopods and springtails climb glass? I ask because I have a nice big glass bowl that I want to use for a terrarium though it doesn't have a lid. The plan is to add them, but if they're just going to climb out, it won't be worth the effort.
My aquarium's largest volcanic rock seems to be home to some of these non-rolly rolly polies, every now and again I see one come out. Not sure what to do (if anything)
Ive always wonder if they can survive submerge water curiousity always opened up my mind
Very Nice Video ☺️ in Germany we call them Asseln or Saftkugler 🙂
My grandson kept bringing them into the house last summer and putting them into all the houseplants!! After watching your videos we are going to do a terrarium project so they will not be escaping!!
Cool isopods! When i was a small kid i thought they were marbles. I would get them to roll up and i would roll them back and forth between my hands on the floor. I was never harmfull to them never killed them. They were just a fun toy for a little poor girl. We always called them Rolly Poley
I'm really excited to see how your channel grows :)
I’m from Australia, and we always called them slaters. I do love the name pill bugs though.
I love the new isopods, and the poster. I never even knew there were that many species
It looks like yellow spots down the center and white spots on the outside, so cute...and creepy xD
I thought so too then he said yellow dots and I was like 😬maybe I should put my glasses on cause I’m seeing things 👀
@@minwellitsanicknamebegrate2531 exactly haha Im an artist so I see everything
I also actually really like the hoffmannseggi colouration. reminds me of grey and white cockatiels
In Australia, I've heard them called Slaters and Butcher-boys.
I watched a video about isopods eating all the moss in the terrarium. Could you do a video how to avoid this and best isopods for beginners? Thanks
For future isopod bins, I strongly suggest using a wood burner to melt the hole and not a drill. I used to use a drill but since moving to a wood burner I never risk cracking the plastic and my holes look a lot cleaner in my opinion.
oh that is SOOO COOL! locked me in, in the first 30 seconds. I'm glued to my seat.
How big does a tank have to be before you would consider adding isopods? Thank you!!
I love watching all of your videos I’ve been watching you for over a year now and you have really got me excited about a lot of different now terrariums
Have you ever had problems with your isopods eating your plants? I’ve noticed that they tend to eat young leaves in my terrariums and I was wondering if there’s a certain species that won’t eat leaves
They dipped them in boiling water to keep em still, or froze em...jk, jk.
In my country, Chile, we call the isopods "chanchitos de tierra" or Earth Piglets hehehe
