Great video to watch while having my morning coffee. Always nice when you upload. Have you ever studied on underwater isopods? I was at a creek near my home and found hundreds of what looked like aquatic isopods. It blew my mind! I can't find much information online about them. One teleportation story I have is how one time I was brushing my teeth in my bathroom and found one of my Porcellionides pruinosus crawling around on the floor! It blew my mind. He was happy to be returned to his home I'm sure.
LOL what a lucky Porcellionides! I have kept and bred one species of freshwater isopod (just put some I collected in an aquarium, and off they went!) I have also kept marine isopods, which is inevitable and extremely easy if you keep a marine aquarium with live rock.
@@Aquarimax Hmm, you have given me an idea. I keep a couple of aquariums, and would love to get a tank and recreate their habitat and see how they do. Maybe one day you could do a video on freshwater or marine isopods. Thanks for taking the time to reply to me and sharing the info! Always a fan.
Nice video Rus! I have had some juvenile/mancae Porcellio laevis appear in my wild caught A. vulgare enclosure. They are all tiny and hard to separate. So far I’ve separated two of the biggest juveniles (my estimate is only a few months old). Hard to separate because Porcellio laevis are delicate.
I have had this happen with aquatic snails, i have both bladder snails and Malaysian trumpet snails in most of my systems. but as it turns out the trumpet snails are very competitive so i must take care to not allow them to out-compete rams horn snails or other "decorative" snails I may want to keep. bladder snails arent nearly so competitive, but they can leave the water for some time and are extremely small which means they are probably the most accomplished teleporters I've ever come across. Despite this I rather like what they both add to aquariums, the two species seem to not compete super directly and act similar to isopods or springtails in a terrarium.
my colony of porcellio scaber has had some escapees which bred. now i have found isopods all over my bedroom due to the warmer temperature and i even found a small one in my tarantula enclosure

I’ve had one random dairy cow growing up with my clowns. No clue how it got there, but it must have been super young. At this point I’m pretty sure it’s a male. I named him “Pete” and for now he will just stay with this random friends.
@@Aquarimax not yet as i currently have one colony of isopods but sometimes i worry that my mealworms will appear randomly in my house. actually had the mealworm experience happen when i knocked over a container. a few days later i found one under a cabinet and another underneath a pair of short. tbh when the weather looks better i might see if i can find any armadillidium vulgare in my garden so it might happen in the future
My teleporters are my heteropoda venatoria, hunstman spiders. They move faster than your eyes can track. Serious question here though. Are dairy cows soft bodied enough to feed to other invertebrates like arachnids? I have a tailess whip scorpion that I can't get to feed. As an arachnid keeper im not too worried but im trying to find something it will eat. Normal feeder insects haven't been working.
Most tailless whip scorpions are not interested in isopods, but scorpions, vinegaroons , centipedes will often eat them. You may find that the size of the prey item (close to that of the whip’s pronotum) is somewhat critical,
@@Aquarimax awesome, thank you. Good to know. I have dwarf oranges and sprintails in the enclosure already but im concerned about getting the dwarf oranges out so I may introduce dairy cows and see if I can out compete them. Its my first bioactive set up and fishing dwarfs out of it sounds like a nightmare. Wasn't the smartest idea im starting to think 😆
Hei, could I use Micropore breathable tape to cover the ventilation holes instead of a netting? Would it still allow good airflow? Worried of suffocation, but I keep getting fungus gnats in no matter how tiny holes I make.
How do I discard my isopods? There are way too many in my ball pythons enclosure. I was thinking of flushing them down the toilet but I'm afraid they will crawl back up the toilet. I have dairy cows btw

I got my first zebras yesterday!!!!!
I have also put aluminium tape around the rim of the bins
Not quite the same, but I had the same thing happen with my hamsters yesterday. Hamster teleportation is a much lesser known phenomenon lol
LOL! I once found my hamster inside my couch…making a nest in the stuffing!

Excellent Video Rus
Gotta put the dwarf whites in a bathysphere at the bottom of the Challenger Deep
Right?? 🤣
had some dairy cow appear in my snail tank.
Experienced Gyna caffrorum teleportation... found one living on the floor 😬
Uh oh! 😳
Yrs I had this happens to me so these are some great tips thank for sharing this video with us
my colony of porcellio scaber has had some escapees which bred. now i have found isopods all over my bedroom due to the warmer temperature and i even found a small one in my tarantula enclosure
Do you have high humidity in your room?
@@Aquarimax due to all my aquariums they release a fair amount of humidity unless i regularly open windows all day
Thank you Russ. It has sure happened to me.
Great video Rus my fear is ever knocking over a bin of isopods lol that would be a nightmare
I’ve done that!
@@Aquarimax 😳🥴😖
It would be so helpful if you could breed your own leaf litter🤣
LOL! I do grow and harvest piles of it every fall!
These are great tips! I use hand sanitizer between each isopod bin!
amazing video, love your t-shirt btw !! do you mind me asking where it's from? :D

very helpful! thanks for the isopod tips

As long as it is a male, or a female that never has and never does mate, it shouldn’t be too much of an issue. Unless it ends up eating clown mancae…
@@Aquarimax This is my only concern. Once it gets bigger I’ll probably find it a new home.
I just found an orange powder in my gestrois! I don’t even keep them on the same level of the house!
🤯🤣
Always good to watch your videos
😃👍
It would be fun if porcellio werneri did! I tell my husband they are space ships after all!
Yes! They do rather look like little flying saucers…why haven’t they studied the art of teleportation??
The title made me laugh
They are evolving!
🤣👍
Me still waiting for spring so i can get some from my backyard:
Not too long now…depending on where you live..
Me too!!
Me as well! I found some Armadillidium nasatum last time!
Are there any alternatives to leaf litter? It's really hard to find leaves in the winter
awesome vid
Thank you! Have you ever had the teleportation experience with isopods?

Hey a bit off topic from the video but, could we see a tour of some of your isopods at some point?
Yes! I am planning on doing that soon 👍🏼
Awesome! Cant wait to see all your isopods lol!
Lol all you have mentioned actually happened to my cultures.

What temp do your isopods stay at? Mine are around the low to mid 70s
That is great for the majority of species. My critter room gets down to about 68 on winter nights, and up to 78 on summer days.
@@Aquarimax oh ok.
@@Aquarimax does scaber reproduce well in those temps and do you keep all the substrate slightly moist and the one side more damp or just dry?

The method outlined by APHIS is to place them in the freezer for 72 hours.
oh no F.B.I is gonna shut down your channel now.
