If you say "meet all of our isopods", I expect to be introduced to every single one of them by name. I feel cheated by this video. (joking, love it!)
“Well, the one on the left is called Harold, and his wife Kelly and their son, Timmy.”
Disappointing, I wanted to see Jeff in this video :(
@@user-oh4eb6kd8n i really wanted to see bob.
😂😂
Yea...I wanted to be introduced to each individual too😅
Childhood me: playing with rolly pollies in the yard
Adult me: Watching a video about fancy rolly pollies
That's what I call character development
yes whoever didnt play with the roly polies didnt have a childhood
heck yeahhhhhh
I loved to play with rolly pollies when I was a kid, then we moved south to an area that didn’t have them. I’m seriously considering starting a culture just so I can play with them again lol.
@@Cleptrio lol i tried to breed shiny black ones but they took too long and my mum killed them when cleaning the house :(
I love how you have the isopods to keep the snakes clean and springtails to keep the isopods clean 😃
But who will keep the apringtails clean
@@moditorplayzthe bacteria and micro fauna
"So I found this one at the bottom of the ocean-" *holds up what is essentially a titanic rolly-polly/pill bug*
😂😂😂
I was incredibly distracted/amused by the drawing of isopods over that white chocolate picture on the container. Lololol
It’s so cute 4:38
I love your channel I didn't like reptiles now I want my own snake
I remember when she opened the Milanos container. Hilarious.
Nothing makes me happier than my art and silly doodles making people happy
Yeah, it made me laugh 😄
And now I'm imagining Emily putting a ginormous deep-sea isopod on a leash and walking it around Petsmart xD
Yes
She would if she could
😂😂😂
5:35 warning for those who find the size of the deep sea iso's absolutely terrifying. (/goes and watches asian sea cusine vids)
@Tara Schriener why the 👻 tho
Me: ROLLY POLLYS!!!
Snake Discovery: no....isopods.

I love how Ed really has his moment to shine in the isopod videos! He loves them I can tell.
I'm surprised and sad that we didn't get to see Timmy the isopod from the Decay snakes home. My favorite was the milkbacks
Lol yeah maybe he died.
@@evasteinbacher7235 don't say that. Maybe they just couldn't remember which isopod was Jimmy
I know Emily we didn't see Timmy
@@shinypearlstar XD
He was probably in his trailer.
The orange + dalmatian should be called Koi because they look like Koi fish!
That’s my calico cats name!
I agree, but mainly because in the show fish hooks there’s a koi
They actually have koi morph of scaber. Orange and regular. Several colors of dalmatian also.
Or Creamsicles!
Flip just made a comment like this🤣 I did not see this comment when I made it but I will remove it if you would like me too
Kid me: playing with rolly pollies in my garden
Practically teen me: 👁👄👁 amazed by even more rolly pollies
Thank you Ed and Emily for slowly getting me to love all the creatures I was squeamish off: snakes, spiders and now bugs. Your enthousiasm to teach is lovely to see, the facility will be such an awesome place to do that and I wish I didn’t live so far away (europe) so I could visit.
I actually found one of these In my garden once when I was 6. I looked at its belly and I was like oh woah she’s pregnant, I made her a pirate ship out of cardboard to live on and I named her rapunzle. A few days later there were 100s of little babies just crawling all over. They are my fav bugs still now
Aww 🥰
Did you keep them as pets
That is an awesome story!
Emily: I’d love to have 14in isopods
Ed, sweating: bUT YOU CANT.... because.... they live in the OCEAN
So you’re saying that adding a deep ocean exhibit to the zoo for a Thanksgiving dinner sized isopod is a possibility...?
I’ve started collecting them from outside to selectively breed. It’s been very fun! There’s so much variety!
Me too! I've always loved them, but just recently decided to keep some as pets. I'm trying to find a way to ID the different species though -- I've found at least 3 species, and 2 more that could be either different species or just morphs.
When it's safe to travel, I would absolutely love to see a collab between you guys and Ants Canada Channel.
Omg yes plz
My brother used to love these when he was little and didn't tell anyone that he put two in a Tupperware with a wet paper towel.... And then forgot about them for MONTHS. They were so happy and absolutely exploded in numbers.
How may?
Oh no! That must’ve been horrible lol! At least they had food from any mold that grew from the towel!
How many?
I’ve had pill bugs with my snails and in a couple of months they started to reproduce like crazy hundreds of them in a couple of months and I’ve only had them for almost a year
@@learnwithrobyn1914 OMG countless... Thousands.... Millions.... Shrug
Who else think they should make a shirt that says “you can’t cry over spilled milkback” with a isopod on it
Thank you sooooo much for the likes!!
and the isopods should be spilling out of a cup or milk carton!
Then it has the milkback on the back of the shirts
Coollll!!
Y’all are amazing!
That would be so cool
The way you guys drew in isopod features in that one box... it's so cute.
No one:
Literally no one:
Me: **thinking of Timmy the isopod**
i think we have the same brain
we all are
@@mars-mk7gh ah yes
@@reubendaly827 lol yes
I was thinking of him too!
I love how she gives personalities to random creatures she meets using captions
Random creatures she meets? Those are her pets not isopods she picks up in the forest..
i love it too.
@@steinistein8611 I mean I doubt she has ever seen that specific one
@@steinistein8611 technically she does find things in the wild and for the baby’s, oh and Rex who was picked up on a road side.
are you Jelly Bean
The belly scales are probably tougher to eat and that's why they avoid them.
Exactly what I thought, snakes bellies touch the surface they slither on, so their belly scales need to be tougher.
Her:“You are so pretty”
Bug: 🥰
Me: 👁👄👁
You don't have a nose?!? 🤯
Too funny😂
*u were on my recommendation,now I’m binge watching*
Same
nearly midnight and i'm looking at isopods talking about burritos
who else thinks emily had a lot of fun editing the isopods thoughts
Yes I do!😁😁
Emily doesn't edit
Lol yes ☺
May I humbly suggest Armadillo officinalis? They are quite large, look like tiny busses and become spherical and hiss when you disturb them. They take some time to grow up and reproduce, but studies suggest they might get quite a lot older than your average isopod, and that’s pretty cool if you ask me!
Can you actually hear them hiss? Because that would be kind of cool. Except then I’d feel like a jerk for scaring them.
@@victoriameredith629 yeah you can hear them! But You gotta disturb them quite some before they get to that level of distress. I’ve had mine for four months and have heard it once.
What isopods can I keep with my corn snake
I don't want to put something in that can harm him
@@kacperplays8425 no isopods would harm a snake but you'd probably want one of the cheaper ones that produce fairly quickly I think my leachie tank is full of powder blues and they're great
@@pyromaniac407 thank you
I’ve such strong memories as a child of picking up Isopods and flipping them upside down to see if they had anything in their brood pouch!
Same i still do lol
Before I watched your channel I would have never given Isopods or insects a chance. They're really starting to grow on me. Thank you Ed and Emily for doing all that you do to bring education to people about these lovely little creatures
Me: *waits for Timmy the isopod*
Lol yes
Yus.
omg same!!
I like how Timmy has just become the star of isopods now lol
hmm
Ok, I HAD to look up Rubber Ducky isopods just to see what they look like and cuz I thought "come on, how expensive can they be?" They are absolutely adorable, but $100-$130 for just 5?!🤯
bobux 👁👅👁
They are incredibly hard to keep and very slow to reproduce. I tried my hand at some when they were $50 for 8 and they did not make it :c
I saw ur comment and gotta agree but that lead me to Thailand spikey isopods and those are 350 PLUS FOR LIKE 5 THATS INSANE
I personally keep porcellio scabers, wild types and Calicos/marbled. I get them from around my house, daily I can find 10 - 20 isopods which is pretty cool :) they are so fun to take care of and they are easy, I highly recommend them if you want a pretty cool pet
Edit: I just got my first lava :0
My favourite has always been the “Dairy Cow” isopods because i think they are super cute. Of the ones you showed, I love the Calico and the Dalmatian types, and the peach ones. But really, all of them are so awesome
I never knew people kept “Rollie pollies” as pets. I used to play with them when I was little, my grandma called them Rollie pollies. 😊
Lol, we call them roly-polys as well! Think the discrepancy in spelling is from different areas/regions. XD
Honestly, I thought they kept them as feeders at first
Same
When I was growing up I always saved them from my grandmas garden before big storms, I’d get like a bucket and put it over where they lived, I don’t know if it worked but it was the thought that counted! I was like 3 lol 😂
Me too
Isopods: no
Cute Rolly Pollys: *yes*
Yessss
:p
Same!!
@@timmytheisopod7473 :p
Rolly*
Wisconsin set-up needs some creeping charlie to really make it authentic.
I think the orange Dalmatians are my favorites. They're so cute! They look like a dreamsicle ice cream kinda
Timmy not being first: “you don’t care about me”
oOp-
here before this comment blows up teehee
I found you >:)
Perfect example of kindergartners 😂
:(
Y’all should get Cubaris murina “little sea” or, if you can spare the money, Porcellio hoffmanseggi - which get bigger than the giant canyons!
Ooooh bigger isopods? Thats awesome
😯😯😯
13:31 I can't get over all the little wiggling legs. They're so cute!
I love how cute the snakes are and I love how the whiskers move on though bug The orange ones beautiful
The “For Narnia” was the best comedy I’ve witnessed in the last decade!
Yea I agree
Btw, I would make sure to mark on your website that your facility is handicap accessible!
I think they did a ramp
@@user-gy9dp8tq7v I saw that, I meant post it on there website so then people know!
I’ve got “dairy cow” isopods! I just noticed this week that the very smallest baby podlings can escape their exoterra terrarium and they dry up and die in the barren wasteland that is my dresser top 😢 Idk how to stop it. My culture is still going strong but it’s sad to think of the podlings getting lost and dying of exposure
have you tried to use a very thin mesh[like mosquito netting] or cheesecloth to cover their airholes? it should still let enough air through. but should hopefully be small enough holes to not let the babies out
You can’t tell me those isobods are not beautiful the patterns and the colors are so natural and amazing I’m in love with all of them
I looove isopods. The ones I have currently are zebra, clown, reds and dairy cow Isopods! Ones I recommend (and that I also personally want to get in the future) are Armadillidium magic potions and Porcellio hoffmanseggi. Magic potions are very pretty and breed quite well. The Hoffs can grow to nearly 2 inches or more and they also show some parental instincts, they will guard the babies after they are born and even bring them food. Such fascinating little creatures! On a semi related note, check out Pill Millipedes! Due to Convergent Evolution they evolved the exact same defense as armadillidium species entirely separate from them! They aren't even closely related! Bugs are so neat.
Also I recommend giving them a source of calcium like cuttle fish bone. It helps them to molt easier so they grow quicker and start breeding sooner. :)
I can imagine all the isopods screaming "EARTHQUAKE!" when Ed was shaking the tower to show how well it stacks
you are now the reason i read up on isopods at 3 am and have a multi-day plan to prepare, arrange a inclosure, and catch some local ones to keep.
This is just my comfort channel right now.
Giant sea isopods: Exists
carboniferous: *Laughs in Arthropleura*
I love the orange and Dalmatian ones because when they’re together they look like the colors of a creamsicle 😋
Please do not eat the isopods
@@literallythefloor5431 Actually, they're pretty safe to eat. Though you'd have to eat quite a few, I'm told they taste like shrimp though I love mine too much to chow down.
This video is relaxing to watch and I love this channel
Finally getting into isopods more seriously and forgot SD did a video for these. Excited to learn more!
The little Wisconsin isopods saying, "We love cheese! And beer! And the Packers!" 😂
In my head, I gave ‘em a little accent. 😁
Random thought: The Dalmatian / Orange Isopods hybrids should be called Koi Isopods!!!!
Where the heck did these likes come from?!!!!
I think there is a name for that type of morph already? "Orange koi"
How is that a random thought?
They do resemble Koi...
You literally stole this from Natasha Krywald it's almost word for word her comment is right above urs :/
That is actually a good thought
I love how there are random springtails running around too.
I adore the "Milan *OH NO!* " Isopod Box at 4:37
Wow I actually have a hobby of trying to find isopods
Edit: wow i didn't know how many people agreed also thanks for the likes!
Really? Is it kinda of like herping? But more struggles?
Lol I do to
I catch rolly pollys
In the Uk their everywhere 😂
I worked with someone who did the same thing!
In Italian they are called "porcellino di sant'antonio" or Saint Anthony's Little Pigs!!
In spanish they are called "cochinillas" which is also a word similar to the word for pig "cochino"
In Brazil they até called tatuzinho
Hi,I have never chatted on here but I just wanted to say,I love your videos!You encouraged me and my dad to get two corn snakes and later on an albino ball pyhton,we picked the starters as we were starters,but we love snakes!
I recognized a couple that I've seen over here in the northeast! I had no idea some had pouches 😱 That's adorable!
My fav has to be the orange, they were stunning.
We have the giant canyon isopods where I live, in Erie, co, and I have caught some who are pregnant and they actually gave birth like 5 minutes after I caught them.
I got curious and looked into whether giant isopods are difficult to keep and found that the Florida Keys Aquarium has an open air tank where guests are encouraged to put their hand in and interact with giant isopods. All that seems to be required is 50 degree water and one would assume some specific water conditions. They don't seem to have to be kept at any specific pressure.
Forgot to add in a link to the aquarium. floridakeysaquariumencounters.com/exhibits-experiences/giant-isopod-tank/
The giant ocean one is definitely my favourite. I always loved isopods as a kid. They are so curious.
i just recently started collecting and breeding wild types. i have a lot of calico looking ones now, some that look almost like zebras, some red, some brown, some orange, some shiny black, some dull gray. such a great mix from my own backyard! saved them from the firewood pile haha. also got a couple dwarfs and HUGE ones including something ive never seen before. was a dark gray, about a half inch long, and its head was almost its own separate piece of the isopod. it was like 3 skinnier section of armor and then its head. almost like a centipede head on an isopod body. super cool!
Interesting
The Orange Dalmatian should just be called "Land Koi"
There is already a koi one :)
Okay now I want to see those.
You make bugs look so wholesome. if only they could knock before entering my home lol
I remember watching this channel about 2-3 years ago. Man this brings memories 😁
Over the summer I brought in 12 isopods I found in my backyard. Within a few months there were hundreds upon hundreds of babies!! It was so cool. I'd put a whole carrot in there, and they would have it gone in a couple weeks. Such cool little critters!
I like to think moody has little council meetings with the isopods under the water bowl. Planning the neighborhoods, the food, how to escape, stuff like that😂
Me (who is usually creeped out by most insects) when I see this video: YES ANOTHER VIDEO!!!!!!! Darn it I have to do school and I don’t want to get distracted :(
Me a little while later: Yes I finally get to watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Note: thank you so much Emily and Ed for all the hard work you do for your channel and for Snake Discovery. Good luck with the facility and I can’t wait for it to be finished! Thank you so so so much for all you guys do and for everything that you work for. It is people like you that make a difference. You are such good role models and have inspired and taught so many people. Thank you for all you do :)
Isopods arent insects, they're crustaceans like crabs and lobsters!
@@1Kitty19 oops I forgot lol
I also really like the lavas and the milkbacks, they look really cool
I love watching these videos because they help me get over my fear of insects (Snake Discovery already helped me get rid of my fear of snakes!). I will never stop being amazed by all the creatures Emily (and Ed) find cute.
I don’t even have any pets, snakes, or insects, so why the heck am I even watching some random people talk about their random critters?? Jk, love your videos ❤️
Edit: thanks for the likes :3
Same boi
I mean, why not right?
omg same
True its so educational and fun people with snakes frogs etc or without
I have An African Lungfish and Sulcata tortoise-a lil baby
I will personally name each and every isopod you own
This is not a suggestion, this is demand
i like my name tho
@@timmytheisopod7473 then you can keep it!
You’ve got some amazing isopods,
Please can you do a video on how to care for them, food, moisture etc,
Thanks😁
Isopods are so gentle. I love them.
8:35 Ed and I said "He's doing crunches." at the exact same time.
12:37. Ok, can we all just appreciate the cute art on that Milanos tin? 😂
My faves were the orange, the lava and the monte negro 👍
Lol “but containers!” was adorable! 💖
Lol and Ed tripping over arma--lol 😅
Thank you for showcasing these different species of isopods! I am an isopod enthusiast also!
Guys, PLEASE get violet dwarfs! They're my favorites and I'd love to be able to buy a culture from your shop!!
"OMG I LOVE BURRITOS" *orange scaber scurries back to conversation*
The screencaptions be killin me 😭💀
The running commentary from the isopods was cracking me up! 😆
Ooh the Granulated Isopods are gorgeous! They look like they have gold flakes down their backs!!
I've had my electricity out for 15 hours straight and finally we got our power back, and I immediately watched this video and now I'm happy. Thank you 😄 I must prepare for another blackout with more Snake Discovery videos lol
Texas? Stay safe and warm!
@@cherade99 yep 😅
Midwestern isopods: “Want some more ranch?” “Let’s go ice fishing” “You drive safe now” * Sees Porcellio scaber * “Blaze orange? Nice.”
"Ope"
“Ope”
I love the grand canyon isopods. Excited to see your care video since I want to start keeping them soon.
I remember I used to play with them when I was little, I miss the days
yes!!!! thank you so much for the isopod videos!!!!! i'm autistic and i've always had a special interest in isopods, so this makes me very happy (:
MOTHER, TELL ME WHICH ISOPOD SPECIES AM I? I NEED TO KNOW NOW
cuteness overload with those sooooo cute little pillies i love pillbugs
I have porcellio lavis and springtails in a little tank! Bought as cleanup crew but I fell in love with them hehe!
I'm wigged out by bugs, even after phobia therapy (iiiiit used to be worse), but I still watched this because you guys make all the animals sound cute. Also, I can tell myself they're very far away, and not gonna come out the screen, and watch this on my phone instead of a tv where is like TWO FOOT CRAWLY MONSTER COMING FOR YOUR FACE.
I watch all your videos with my Banana Pastel Ball Python, named Pretzel. He doesn’t know he is a ball python lol. He thinks he is arboreal, he tries to burrow, he almost never hides in his caves and he never balls up. He’s also a ravenous eater.
😍😍😍😍😍BANANA PASTEL BALL PYTHON, WAAAAOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW😍😍😍😍😍😍😘😘😍😘😘 🥨🥨🥨🥨💜💜💜💜
POST VIDEOS I WANT TO MEET 🥨🥨🥨🥨
Pretzel’s a bit confused but he's got spirit.
@@user-yj5bj8ke6c He sure does! As my first snake, I definitely got really lucky.
wow. in Utah, we do call them potato bugs, but since my mom grew up in Virginia, i call them rollie pollies. the ones here are just plain black/grey, but i did find a really cool colony when my parents were gardening there was a huge pile if dirt and i found there was a ton of them. i grabbed a container and put leaf litter and dirt and sticks then a bit of water. i grabbed as many as I could find then took them to the front of my house where a bunch of step able plants were and let them go. i found that the biggest was half black and half grey. it was REALLY cool.
Some more stuff about rolly pollies, since I've seen some comments about them (not an expert, just good at using google). What most people know as rolly pollies are also know as pill bugs, or woodlice, part of a family known as Armadillidiidae, and they can roll themselves into wee little balls when threatened. It's called conglobation, and is shared by all critters in that family. And yes, they are isopods, but not all isopods roll themselves up when threatened.
I’ve seen baby isopods. My life is complete. Love the Zebras.
Love to see these cuties getting the spotlight
The orange/dalmatians, lavas, montenegros, and zebras are my favorites from this video. They're really pretty.
I love your videos I learn a lot from you guys and I love the way you care for your animals
