Learn About the Armadillidium vulgare "Magic Potion" Isopod!
I loved your video. Really explanatory and well documented. Thanks a lot. Would you recommend using crushed egg shells as calcium supply? Or is it risky?
Thank you 🖤 I gather my eggshells after breakfast and just rinse them with warm water and let them dry, then I just crush them by hand into random size pieces and put them in the enclosures. Most of the isopods even like the leftover membrane on the shell!
@@thegreatinvertebrate Oh, I get it. Thank you so much!
@@SaritaPaws You're very welcome 😊
Nice. Just making a similar one about isopods in general
That's awesome! The more we educate people about them, the better it is for the hobby 🙂
Thank you for reading Wikipedia to me.
👍🏼
so pretty!!!!
Thank you 🖤 I love their little faces!
can egg shells work as a good source of calcium?
Of course! To minimize the smell you can rinse the eggshells with tap water and let them dry before adding them to your isopod enclosure. (Also, you could just chuck them in there..egg goo and all)
You wish you were a pill bug/roly poly until you realize a little kid named Timmy is gonna grab you and keep like he’s yours forever
😂😂
Thank you for this in-depth scientific research and reading with fantastic visuals to show the type of environment they need to thrive. Proud isopod mom here. Great video. I'm happy to subscribe, too!
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback so much 😊
great vid! love all of the morphs and im getting some little sea ones today:) theyre simple but adorable
Thank you! You'll love them 😊 They're one of my favorite isopods
Would love more isopod videos from you!
i feel this in my soul
I just recently got a few of these. It was nice to see them up close and moving around. Mine are always eating.
Eating is a very good sign! That usually means they aren't stressed and their happy 😊
Very informative, thank you. 🙂
I'm glad it was helpful!
This is so informative! Great job, fantastic reporting!🌻🌼🐝 Keep it up 🙌
Thank you so much!
its pink legs and antennas are so cute
Right!? The cutest 😊
isopods + sophie is a combo i never thought id see :,)
😁 it was perfect for them
I swear that time goes slower when there is this much info 😅😅😅
Sometimes!
Cute and you have thriving colonies of them, congratulations
I love them too 🤩
Hmm .... Why i remember reading a website which the information is exactly same thing as you explained here, maybe you're the owner of that webpage too?
I have the same information on my website...so probably! 😁
@@thegreatinvertebrate ooh i see, ok🙂
i just recently got a culture of florida orange, i see the regular cubaris in my backyard but it’s exciting to see something different that formed wild here in Florida!
😊 I'm so glad that you got them to enjoy! You'll be surprised at the spectrum of colors, I think!
Definitely one of the most informative video's I've seen on P laevis.
Thanks!
Will selective breeding help in creating a more 'yellowish' morph of murina ?
Yes! A fellow breeder has some C. murina "glacier" and some "Florida Oranges" from me and has been working to make a yellow morph the past year, though they haven't done so successfully yet. A few have produced but none that could be line bred this far. I'd love to see someone actually do so! 😊
Very informative and well done video. Nice and relaxing voice btw, keep up the good work :)
Glad you liked it! thank you 😊
What substrate are you using?
I use a base of reptisoil then add in moss, leaf litter, crushed calcium or reptical, horticulture charcoal and some wood pellets that have been reconstituted with water to a mush. Then I mix all that up and distribute it
I love papaya isopods! They always have fascinated me because of their color! I was going to purchase some but I live in a colder area sadly so I will have to wait.
They are a very interesting little isopod! They also seem to be very surface active and can cohabitate with a wide range of reptiles and even arboreal snails. :)
These are the isopods i have now. Given to me by a friend
Great video on magic potion isopods, your colony looks amazing! I appreciated the focus on these invertebrates and the detailed explanations. Maybe consider adding a bit more confidence in your voice for an even better presentation. Looking forward to more! 👍🔬
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed this video! I appreciate the feedback and that’s definitely something that I’m working on 🙂
I fucking hate those 💀💀💀💀
Prettyyy
Morning wood or bug burger - retailers are seriously creative trying to sell us things we can find on the ground. 😅
Different people like different options for feeding 🤷🏼♀️ the good thing about this hobby is that there is no one way of doing anything!
@@thegreatinvertebrate oh there is no problem with that, that's an option to feed them. I just found their names funny. I don't know their exact ingredients but the concept sounds similar to when aquarium shops sell dry leaves. But great video!
@@thegreatinvertebrate Mine do very well on yellow squash, leaf litter, Carrot shavings, Freeze Dried Shrimp and of course wet wood
@@johnmalerba804 Mine like the same things. I do try and give a variety since we do gut load some of our isopods as feeders (giant canyons and powders). Yellow squash is a favorite though!
Wet food? What kind? I thought they'd drown from eating wet food lol@@johnmalerba804
I found one that looks just like that one and put it in my terrarium
Nice find! We have them in the wild here in Florida and they’re so fun to watch.
RRROOOOLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYY PPOOOOLLLLIIIEEEEEESSSS
🐼🤍🐼
@@thegreatinvertebrate man it reminds me of my childhood, playing in the yard and garden and school even finding these around
This is a great video! Would I be able to use a portion of this video in an upcoming video of mine to show my audience what dairy cow Porcellio laevis look like? This morph isn't available in Australia, so unfortunately, I won't be able to get my own footage of this morph. The link for your original video will be linked in the description of my content.
Thank you, I’m glad you liked it ! Of course you may use any portion of the video as long as it’s credited, I don’t mind 😊
Hello !! Will you guys be having more of these in stock in the future ?
There are some now on the website! 😊 I checked the bins this morning and restocked inventory.
Luved this very informative and very well presented thankyou so much :)
Thank you so much! 😊
Hey how do die this selucation
Now you have the panda variant?
We have a few showing up that have this or a similar pied mutation. 😊 next step is to selectively breed them and see what happens.
@@thegreatinvertebrate yes, please. Be consistent to separate them, I'm sure you've find new variant with this Armadillidium vulgare, isn't it?
@@Cleeon As far as I know, yes we’re the only ones to have them, but sometimes isopod breeders are very secretive about their projects… so someone could have them.. we just don’t know. Yes! They are vulgare.
Cool pod, love them.
Me too!
They are cute. Don't do well for me.
That’s sad to hear! We have them literally out the back door here so, very easy to keep for me!
Very informative and peaceful rather than boring. Keep doing your thing how you see fit.
Thank you so much! 😊 I’m glad you liked it.
Mine absolutely love snake sheds and romaine. They can decimate both to nothingness overnight. 😂
They really can! Everyone thinks Dairy Cows are the only ones with a huge appetite 😂
Pill bugs!!! So cute
🤍🤍
🤬😒😭
👾🫶🏻🦐
Dairy cow isopods are the best! They are so fun to observe. 😊
They are one of my favorites to sit and watch! 🥰🥰
This is exactly what i was looking for! Trying to find out more about this morph before I become an isopod parent 😊 Thank you for the knowledge!
You are so welcome! I’m glad it could help 😁

Great information, spoken clearly. The video was boring, though. I'd love this with a better presentation.
Thanks for the feedback! I’m working on a new video now and can’t wait to try something a little different.
I didn't find it boring, as it had all the info I was looking for. I did play it at 1.25 though. Great videos of the pods and habitat furnishings. Thank-you!
@@annehenderson9207 Thank you for the feedback! I’m glad it was helpful 😊
Not boring at all really enjoyed the pace content and information 👌
@@jamieoates7559 I appreciate that! Sometimes information can be lost with showier videos.
You need more love on your channel! This is really well put together!
Thank you! I appreciate that 😊
That ain't no shyne rollie-pollie, that just their evolve form 🤨
Actually, I think it’s the Galarian form👍
this is a fitting song for one of my favorite species from you
Right!? I had to use it some how, it seemed too good not to! 😁
Awwwwwww
🥰🥰
