Potatoe bugs. Lil f$%kers like to eat my logs waiting to be milled, maybe I will turn the table on em, hahaha (evil laugh)

Ahhh they're great. My enclosures are swarming with both.

But no isopods in Imelda’s cage don’t want them eating her eggs. Thanks for that info btw

Yup, I wouldn't trust them with fertile eggs. They ate my snail eggs and my infertile cham eggs

As a carpenter, not a fan of the woodlice (potatoe bugs where I live), seems like its against everything I stand for lol

I feel ya, I do a ton of carpenting work as well, but these are a necessity for a bioactive setup

I didn't realize how expensive they'd be, they must be good for em, eh?

Those are the cheaper kind lol. Check out the prices of some of the ones in this site.

There are different types of isopods, I'm not talking about breeds I'm talking about behavior. There are carnivorous and scavenger. Not sure the specific names, but not all isopods eat eggs. Powder blues and large mountain isos dont touch eggs. If they do it's because they were bad to begin with.

I'm aware, but I wouldn't bet my chameleons eggs on it. Scavengers can still eat living things without knowing. Not saying they will, but with my experience dealing with isopods, I'd rather not test it.

I just found out that there are actually 2 types of roaches that are legal in Canada. The Australian roach (Periplaneta australasiae) and Surinam roaches (Pycnoscelus surinamensis). Can’t wait to get these once the weather warms up enough for them to ship to me.

Anyone else use these?
