Got isopods

[SMCNARY]

Just started 3 colonies of Isopods,orange,tan & Florida Brown
It will take 2-3 months for them to produce enough for a constant supply but I can wait!! I now have crickets,mealworms,superworms,dubia,red runners,hornworms,silkworms,blue bottle flies,Isopods and Phoenix worms!!! If that's not a good enough variety of feeders then I am just done.... Naw I find some more in time :<)

Hahaha, man you have everything but the kitchen sink as far as feeders go.

Good luck with the isopods.

Yep,just need some
baby's to feed them to!!! If I can be even half as successful with the Cham babies as I have been with the feeders it will be fantastic !!!

Those look to be the cardboard egg crate that the isopods were packed with.

Use oranges to water your roaches. Just give them a new slice or two everyday.

Solidsnake is correct the blue things are wet eggcrate that the isopods were shipped with,I use water crystale to keep EVERYTHING hydrated

I keep oranges,apples and a variety of fruits and veggies for my roaches at all times as well as a dry mix with many of the ingredients that sandracham has posted. I also use plain water crystals from Lowes or Home Depot without any fertilizer etc. it is cheep and works fantastic as a back up!!! ALL of my feeders are breeding like nothing I ever imagined !!! For the roaches I suggest a combination of water crystals, dry mix and fresh fruits and veggies!!!! My Dubia colonies (2) have gained 4 times the weight from when they started!!! They are so full that I will need to take the two colonies and split them into 4-6 colonies.
Feel free to pm me and if you want I will give you my cell if I can help!!!!

Hey, nice! 3 cultures of isopods. I have got just a starter set from my friend who gave me various insects (Indian walking sticks too ).
We call them Woodlice over here.
You have even more variety than I do though - I only have one type of fruit fly
How many chameleons do you keep?
