- Venezillo parvus is a small isopod species that occurs in North America, Europe, and possibly other areas of the world. Join me as I interview Ashley Nebel on Venezillo parvus care!

They are adorable. Thank you Rus and Ashley.
YESSSSS I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A CARE GUIDE FOR THESE GUYS!!! Thanks Rus! 😁😁
Was not expecting V parvus video here, I have a bin of tbem collected here in florida
wow these guys really are tiny, the size comparison was a great idea
This is so informative! Great job, fantastic reporting!🌻🌼🐝 Keep it up 🙌
We actually aren't too certain where Venezillo parvus originate but we do know that they are introduced to the US. All the other Venezillo are native though like arizonensis and macropthalmus. Whole genus is under rated tbh. Look up Venezillo oaxacanus, theyre my personal favorite in the genus but arent in the hobby yet unfortunately.
V. oaxacanus! Is beautiful! Like tiny zebras, but with red stripes! We need them in the hobby. We need to see if there are records of them in the continental US. I wonder if they occur in the SW and in Texas at all? INaturaliat records show records in a localized area rather far from the border, unfortunately.
@@Aquarimax as far as I’m aware they’re mostly endemic to the Mexican city Oaxaca. Possibly some areas near but unfortunately I doubt they’re that far north. Have been told by a few hobbyists in Mexico that they’re maybe working with them but with the recent laws not sure how long it’ll be till someone imports them to the US.
@@Aquarimax oh also found out the dalmation line were isolated from wild types so I guess they can actually cross. Seems more likely that hers just haven’t been outcompeting each other and both the wilds and dalmation are producing both phenotypes.
@@tennysonkingsley9485I should have been more clear I got flustered. The orange variation comes from the Dalmatian morph, from my research. I’ve isolated some but none have reproduced. Now I keep them in with the Dalmatian but it doesn’t seem to breed in or out of them if that makes any sense.
Excellent Video Rus and Ashley
Thank you.
This is so interesting, thank you both so much 😊
Thank you the video Ashley does very well on explaining .
She does! It was great to have her back again for this!
Thank you!
did anyone else notice the one on the bottom was stuck upside down for over 11 minutes?
A true collector’s pod 😂. V. parvus: out of sight, out of mind..”
great video :) I was wondering if sometime soon, if you want, you could do an updated video/update on your millipedes and your tips for husbandry/care and possibly breeding. Thankyou! Also, I just wanted to say that although I've only been watching your videos for a couple months you've definitely become my favorite invertebrate/reptile channel, your videos are so informative and helpful.
Most of scientic articles list alder leaves as the best, but mostly articles are about porcellio. Well, alder leaves are protein rich thanks to N fixation and probably less mold prone as mulbery as they are related to oaks and briches. Realy I had not tried.Probably there are alders in northern N America. Isopod taxonomy seems to be not well researched. If they don't breed by definition they are a different species. Even if they look the same. Most of species are defined by few visible external traits (in early 20 century), no breeding in terariums so there could deviations.
I have read at least one of those papers, and I’ll bet we have alders, but I have yet to find one.
I agree they isopod taxonomy is not generally well researched, although that is beginning to change, fortunately!
I’ve heard of Venillo parvus but never knew what they were like. It’s a common misconception that only the genus Armadillidium can conglobate. I’m pretty sure both families of Armadillididae and Armadillidae can conglobate (not sure). I really liked the size comparisons
Glad you liked the size comparisons! It appears that there are quite a few isopod taxa that can conglobate.
i love your isopod series!! i was wondering if you could do a video on tylos punctatus? i can’t find any information on keeping them!! i saw some on the beach a while ago and have been thinking about them ever since!
I’ve never worked with that species, but if I can find someone who has extensive experience with them, perhaps we can set up an interview!
@@Aquarimax they’re super neat!! hopefully there’s someone out there :) i would be super interested !! thank you for the reply
Will Venezillo parvus eat plants in a vivarium if they have plenty of wood bits and dried leaves and sphagnum moss mixed into their substrate? If so, should I put a potato slice in to divert their attention?
They are pretty determined plant nibbles. Might be worth experimenting, thought, in a low-stakes situation.
Are there similar concerns with *V. parvus* as there are with *Trichorhina tomentosa* with regard to sorcerous ability to teleport and invade other isopod colonies across the room? I'm looking to keep more isopods as a hobbyist, and these are available in my local area. I just don't want to introduce a species I might regret later. The dwarf whites sound like a nightmare on this topic. If anyone knows, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Dwarf whites seem the worst offenders, in part because they reproduce through parthenogenesis. I haven’t heard of particular issues with Venezillo parvus…but many isopods can (and do) invade other isopod bins on occasion.
@@Aquarimax Thanks Russ! I have some locally collected specimens that I believe are A. nasatum. In your care video for the species you said you felt like they were underappreciated, which is something I find attractive as a hobbyist. Eventually, I'd like to give breeding a try. I have some experience with cornsnake genetics, and the isopod hobby seems ripe for exploring all kinds of new morphs (not as a vendor). So, I was curious about keeping V. parvus and am glad to hear they aren't quite the wizards that dwarf whites are.
Please, what is her favorite food? Please explain. Thank you.
Potato was one she mentioned
Thank you👍🏻👍🏻
Do you sell Isopods?
Sure do! www.aquarimax.com/price-list/
Are you going to the reptilian nation expo?
Possibly! I haven’t quite decided yet
