I actually know the people who invented the magic potion USA coloring and I was one of the first people in the country to get my hands on them. They’re fantastic!
Great video as always!! The magic potions (I got from you!) are one of my favorites! And you’re not kidding.. once they take off they TAKE OFF! I also love my clowns and they are going crazy too! I have lavas and they were difficult at first for me, I’m not sure why. But I lost all of the original 10 I got however they had babies so I have all the babies growing up now.
I am so very glad you are enjoying the isopods from us, and great to hear they are doing well! Hang in there with the lavas as they will suddenly be all over the place ;) Thank you Kellie
I have been keeping dairy cows for a few months now and I love it! :D They are still pretty shy, but I am seeing more and more of them out in the open! I will most certainly add Punta Cana to my fledgling collection, at some point :D I love the 'jelly bean' colors lol Thanks for making the video!
Aw man... I only counted TWO intermediate species and they were both add ons! Hahahaha love this list and I'm trying to think of what I would add... I'll have to think about this one a bit.
wow great choices Wally I loved it the ones I don't have are A. Versicolor and the clowns also the Hoffmannseggi black I have the grey ones and that are absolutely amazing ...I hope you do a list for advanced isopods ...Keep Up the amazing work wow what a great list ..I know you could go on forever with the list lol
Thank you Wally, I do not have any that you mentioned but I want to get the jelly beans or magic potions next. I have great news. My cubaris marina have had babies. I am excited. You guys are grandparents again. lolrof
No, I don’t have P. scaber ’lavas’ because Philosciidae sp. ‘North Thailand’ are similar color BUT they are bold and they are out and about during the day creating a ‘lava’ flow. 😁 They are tiny but still more visible and produce faster than scabers.
Great video. I currently have a colony of Powder Orange Isopods going in my Crested Gecko's enclosure. I would love to have a few others, but I don't have the space to do so right now. Thank you for your very helpful and educational videos.
I was wondering what the name is of the isopod species that has been illustrated and used on many of your thumbnails? The one with the tan/orange body and dark head. I have several that look exactly like them that have been wild caught and have been struggling to identify them. Thanks!
I upgraded my dwarf white isopods to a bigger container last night. I woke up this morning shot to find that all of my dwarf whites are on the surface and are dead. I have no clue what happened and I've been watching a lot of your videos to avoid a crash and I'm not entirely sure how this happened.
Hi Charge Cannons. Thank you for watching. Without knowing much more than - you moved the dwarf whites, I would have to say it has to do with one of 2 things- Either the container was the issue (maybe the acetones used on plastic molds) or if you added soil/dirt substrate, that may have been tainted. Another factor could have been extreme heat or cold. Finally, realize DWs do play dead. make sure you check later today before tossing in the trash :) www.buymeacoffee.com/SupremeGecko
@@SupremeGecko thank you I'll check again later but all of my dws are at the top of the box which is not something they normally do thank you for your wisdom. ❤️
@@SupremeGecko I used a new substrate as well as the old substrate. To add more volume to the new box. Upon inspection this morning all along the edge of the box I'm seeing hundreds of white worms that I can only assume are nematodes. I think that would be the reason why they all ran to the surface however I have no idea how so many worms got into this box. I'm documenting everything by video and keeping notes because I'm new to isobods, but for the life of me I don't understand how these worms got in.
@@ChargeCannons Good find!!! And I will certainly tune in to see the results. How they got there, who knows. I've had hitchhikers of centipedes, worms, and snails now that I'm on my 500th enclosure setup. It happens. Oh- I wonder if they could be the common 'grindle' worm used for feeding fish (not harmful) or the 'white' worm- Enchytraeus albidus (not harmful). But seeing the results, you are probably correct.
Hello, I have question about isopods. I have a medium enclosure of dairy cow isopods. I have been keeping this enclosure for few months. I have noticed mites, they dont look like grain mites, they are as tiny as springtails and brown also a bit white on their bodies but not as big as grain mites. Well I have noticed them since 3rd week of keeping isopods. Ive watched Aquarimax video about controlling pest and I have added springtails since the 3rd week and stopped over feeding food. But til now the problem doesnt seem to be solved. As my springtails population grows, mites are growing too and almost everywhere in moisture area. Do you have any suggestions for me please? I actually add water to moisture area and feed my isopod the fish pellets every 2 days. I cant really leave my enclosure because there are ton of dairy cows in the enclosure like alot A Big Colony (100+ or I will say uncountable) Please keep in touch with me because I cant really solve this problem by myself and mites keep growing and getting more in numbers. Thank you alot for reading my comment.
Quick question back- You mention that you've watched "Aquarimax video about controlling pest ". I see you've added a comment to his video. It might be best for them to answer your question as the video is specific to this type of question and might help others looking for similar help.
Wonderful video, I've actually never heard of A Versicolor before, they look really neat! I have no cubaris, and I think when I try that, I am going to go with Papayas. I may get them for my daughters, see if it helps perk their interest a little. Thanks for the information! Go easy. Me

I said it could be good to make an indermediate isopod video but you didn't have to literally make it!!!. Tysm Wally! 😊 😊 😊
I am so sorry I forgot that you asked for this. But... 5 stars for helping me make this! :)
@@SupremeGecko You're welcome!
And you don't need to thank me tho😅👍
I disagree, the Podfather is the King of isopods! 😄 Great video Wally
:) Thank you Bob.
Isopods aren't my thing, but I still like to show my support, by being the first to comment and watching the video 😁

I love my versicolors so far. Just waiting for them to start breeding. Would like to get some Punta Cana eventually. Great list!
Thank you mpk. A. versicolors are so underrated.
I actually know the people who invented the magic potion USA coloring and I was one of the first people in the country to get my hands on them. They’re fantastic!
Really! WOW, that is cool. Congratulations.
Awesome isopods Wally! I gotta say I never saw the allure until I started keeping them, they are AWESOME!!!
I should have those lava...... those things are insane!!
Right?!? Me too.
I have been waiting for this one!!! Great video.
I am so glad this helps.
I love these isopods!
Thanks
Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Oscar
Excellent Video Wally!!!

Thank you Mik. Those DC's one day will be filling your enclosure ;)
I lost my colony of monte negros but im going to get more in April at the reptile show
Oh no. I am so sorry to hear. Which reptile show in April?
Aw man... I only counted TWO intermediate species and they were both add ons! Hahahaha love this list and I'm trying to think of what I would add... I'll have to think about this one a bit.
You know what they say about Poke-Pods-Man.... gotta catch em all!

The A. versicolors are very cool (IMHO). And the Blacks are different than the normals for sure! Thanks Andrew
Thank you Wally, I do not have any that you mentioned but I want to get the jelly beans or magic potions next.
I have great news. My cubaris marina have had babies. I am excited. You guys are grandparents again. lolrof
Ohhh nice on the murina. Contact me on FB for a discount on the jelly beans or MPs.
@@SupremeGecko Thank you.
Great video. I will be getting lava soon.
Cool! Let me know when you get them in if they are BETTER than you expected.
Seth just received Magic Potions, he is so excited!!!
How cool. Very different, aren't they.
Awesome!!!
Great video Wally.
Thank you Barb.
@@SupremeGecko You are very welcome.
I need lava in my life, what are you doing to us?! Lol...
:) Wish I had more. They are cool looking.
I wanna get some punta cannas from you since you have more colors than I do!
:) Just let me know when you would like to get some SG jelly beans. :)
Great video looking to get in the hobby of crested gecko
Fantastic Leo. Let me know if I can answer any questions.
Thanks I will looking for the pvc sheet to make my rack
@@commercialelectrician133 I've heard the cost has gone through the roof.
No, I don’t have P. scaber ’lavas’ because Philosciidae sp. ‘North Thailand’ are similar color BUT they are bold and they are out and about during the day creating a ‘lava’ flow. 😁 They are tiny but still more visible and produce faster than scabers.
Great call!! I like these too. They are tiny though.
@@SupremeGecko They are tiny but therefore one can inhabit plenty even in small enclosures 🙊😁
@@Arvaamaton As well P. scabers ;)
The isopods for this list are awesome Very Good Choice I really love the colors on your Punta Cana!!! Definitely more colorful than my own!!!
Thank you. This bin is doing well for us.
The Lava is one of my favorite but just not look for then to keep and idk why I should
Lavas are pretty cool looking. Watch my video on Why You Should Keep Isopods.
I will look that up thank you
@@jaykennedy2256 My pleasure
I have lotto mix of scabers and my lavas have almost overrun all the other colors
Very nice! Congrats David.
I love my papayas!
Cool! Me too. Did you know their eyes are pink?
@@SupremeGecko I did not but now I gotta go inspect!
Clowns are awesome I have both montenegro and dubrovnik
Nice. I STILL like Montenegro best I think.
@@SupremeGecko I love all isopods
@@allynngoucher2802 Me too :)
I have everyone of the ones on this list lol
SCORE!
Great video. I currently have a colony of Powder Orange Isopods going in my Crested Gecko's enclosure. I would love to have a few others, but I don't have the space to do so right now. Thank you for your very helpful and educational videos.
:) 6 qts. They take little space. :) Seriously, thank you very much for the kind words.
@supreme geko- hello wally great content, since everything is going up in price, are the shipping cost going to go up for live animal shipping
:) I just dropped my shipping prices $3 on hard goods and isopods as we keep looking to improve our customer experience.
Montenegros just make me wanna Bossa Nova baby...
I just did a little dance in my chair. Go KEN!
What is the "meatiest" isopod out there?
Which ones would be good for feeding lizards or perhaps cooking that Isopod Linguini?
:) Well, it would have to be the Dairy Cow. :)
@@SupremeGecko LOL! Thank you!
I have magic potions and they breed like crazy
Cool. Congrats. For me, it's still a slow process until you get about 100 in the enclosure.
@@SupremeGecko they will get going for you soon
OUR CLOWNS AND SETH'S HOFFS HAD BABIESSSS!!!!! :) Okay going to stop blowing up your comment feed now;)
No way!!! Congratulations.
Veronica it’s my job to Blow up the comment section pass that torch onto me lol

The one with the tan/orange body and dark head. I have several that look exactly like them that have been wild caught and have been struggling to identify them.
Thanks!
Great question. If you mean the isopod illustration (on this thumbnail too), then it is a Porcellio ornatus High Yellow. Very cool.

Btw I bought all the substrate and even dirt from isopod shop so they are clean and safe, also food and more stuffs.
Btw Im pretty sure that mites arent grain mites, they look like stratiolaelaps scimitus in my opinion
