fun fact: the infamous tongue-eating louse, which is famed for eating the tongue of the fish and replacing it, is actually a type of marine isopod.

[@ClintsReptiles]

That is a fun fact!

[@mnnicegrrl]

Well it sounds like you're gonna HAVE to do a video on this ever so intriguing "marinopod"(see what I did there?😉) Clint, best get on that nugget of entertainment gold...🤗😃👌 Wait that came out sounding sarcastic and it definitely wasn't sorry, heh. I'd truly love to see a video on that particular isopod. I've heard of them before, they sound crazy tubular interesting❣😮👀🙃😲🤓👏

This was so much fun! I must say, you have excellent taste in isopods, Clint!

Russsss

[@sjsmith9637]

Best first pet. I've kept a fun colony out in a punch bowl and it's an awesome display. I wish more parents got their kids isopods over betta fish. You should do a pet display tank of these guys.

[@wilhelmtan5301]

while these small isopods r cool, in our heart, our favorite is the cute and ginormous giant isopod from the deep ocean.

[@ClintsReptiles]

They are quite rad!

No. Deep sea isopods are the things of my nightmares. And apparently there are people that eat them?! 😐

Clint isopods are like Pokémon gotta catch them all😉, they are all fabulous. Russ is an awesome fella, it’s wonderful seeing you two interact. Thank you ever so much for sharing and best wishes always.

[@justinortega3118]

Thanks for having Rus on the channel Clint. He's awesome and has helped me with all of my isopod cultures, he is an extremely knowledgeable individual. Your channel has been wonderful in teaching me so many various things. My girlfriend and I are now pursuing an Animal educational business and i just wanted to thank you both for teaching me so much!

[@ProgressiveDiscussions]

The best bang-for-the-buck is the dairy cow isopods. However I think the Deep Orange armadillidium vulgare is very attractive to me. Dairy cows are very fast breeders, they grow to a decent size, and are low-cost. They are an excellent cleanup crew and secondary or even primary food source.

[@lexslate2476]

I like the big isopods, the titans and the flavomarginthingy. Mostly because of their big, expressive feeler thingies. Also thank you for not including a taste-test phase of the tournament.

[@juliac3933]

Not even the Oreo crumbles?

[@kristinj3339]

OMG. You're such an adorable dork. This reminds me of being a little kid and seeing isopods in a creek. I'm fairly positive I've seen the yellow dots here where I live in Kentucky.

[@srpdara]

Russ and Clint are both so cute and educational I love themm

[@beitermf]

I would love to see Emily of Snake Discovery do a bracket like this! Their isopod collection is quite large now, and still growing!

[@Dragonemperess]

They're addicted.

[@alyssajakielek687]

Who else thought they were going to be like... competing in little trials and obstacle courses and stuff?

[@pieisfun]

Be honest, this was really just a video to help you narrow down your buy list for isopods wasn't it! It's what I would've done!

[@tylerharmon3540]

Poor Russ was worried about cross contamination and even used rubbing alcohol between opening containers. Clint was like “ must seeeeeee them alllllll “

[@pokeysproductions6761]

They all look great! I think the Oreo crumbles are my favorite, but tell Russ thanks for bringing all of these isopods in! I love seeing videos like this

[@guineapig289]

Yeah

[@guineapig289]

I like the zebras and the Oreo crumbles!

[@mnnicegrrl]

This episode along with the "part 1" episode that was posted not long ago, I thought were SO fun! I didn't know ANYTHING about isopods before, and they were actually REALLY interesting to learn about! I LOVE the rubber duckies, I can see why they're so spendy! Russ was AWESOME and the chemistry you two have over your passions for isopods was SO great. It was really fun to watch you two geek out! Thank you for the kick-butt episode y'all, it was a great sprinkling of variety and something new to many of us❣💚🐊🐍🐢🐛🐜🐞🕷🦂🐌🐝💩💛

[@Max-pu6uz]

I’ve never considered these as pets. But it seems like an interesting and very different hobby.

[@pinkPIGSandCUPCAKES]

I just got my first isopods for my snake enclosure, I got dairy cows at an expo, 20 isopods for $15, with tons of babies as well! I've already grown my colony quite a bit and find it more fun than expected, so tempted to get more

[@pythonparis]

Great episode. Love the content. Two of the best KZbinrs! You forgot a few things though… “Safest isopod to house with reptiles?” (Dwarf White) and “Best isopod as a feeder for reptiles?” (P. pruinosus… Powder Blue, Powder Orange, Oreo Crumbles, White Out) We got into isopods as feeders and safe clean up crew species for young Crested Geckos. We now have our first pet-only species… Zebras. Love them all.

This is the content I subbed to Clint for, weird specific and niche animal husbandry and biology videos.

[@brendonbewersdorf986]

I love how they look like trilobites but even just the ones that roll up into a ball bring me joy thanks for the video Clint! Have a good week! 😊

[@ProgressiveDiscussions]

Clint should have no problem at all breeding any of these isopods

[@shamik_sathe]

I just wonder, who wouldn't like isopods? Like they're frickin cute and they look like trilobites which is absolutely cool, and they're easy to feed.

I have adored isopods ever since I was a very little kid. We only have a few wild species here, but I used to keep them as pets as a kid, in old margarine tubs. My mum hated them, as she doesn’t like invertebrates, so whenever she found my margarine tubs she threw them out into the garden. Man, I need more isopods.

[@davidshaw6159]

My pick would be the expansus. I never expected to ever have a favourite isopod, but here we are. Thank you!

[@exegesisman]

Dr. Laidlaw, we humbly suggest two stinking rad videos: green basilisks, and green ameivas.

[@SkwithOv]

i LOVE my armadillo officinalis i have sicily greys and reds/orange crush, surprisingly the greys are my favorite of the two so far (but the reds haven't had babies yet so it could change, the greys had babies immediately, like a few days after i got them, and they're sooooo cute and they don't start out white like the rest do! mine started light grey, and i've heard baby reds start out yellow or light orange!) they're one of my top favorites for the ones i own, which i honestly wasn't expecting at all cubaris murinas are the ones that got me into isopods a few years ago (originally as a clean up crew for my snails) and now i have about 18 bins of different isopods other favorites include venezillo parvus ( i call them seed bead isopods since they conglobate into the size of little 2-4mm seed beads) and armadillidium espanyoli marbelized, which are also small and they have really nice intricate patterns, especially on their little faces! some of mine look almost like they have 2 stars!

[@SkwithOv]

there's a bunch of expensive ones i really, really want, but i don't trust myself quite that much with caring for them yet - they're more like ones i would buy with gift money (like if i get a really generous gift card/check from a family member) right now, but i am hoping to get some eventually i LOVE the spiky ones! i have armadillidium scaberrimum and peraccae, both of which are bumpy, and they're pretty cool too... but man some of the ones with spikes are just....incredible and i would love some duckies someday thankfully isopods don't take up as much space as most other pets and they're so easy to care for! they cost pretty much the cost of the original culture, plus the bin (shoeboxes are like $1-3, i got most of mine on buy one get one half off sales) and substrate, moss, bark, and leaves... then just some extra food every now and then, which makes a bin like $6 to set up, including the bark (i buy 1lb of cork bark bits at a time and that's enough for about 10 bins).. maybe a bit more if you like going all out or get bigger bins, but.... pretty much can't be beat, especially if you have a lot of isopods living in one bin other pets like spiders can have a similar setup, but usually you just keep one in the container, where with isopods you can have 100 or more! i also got a pound of calcium carbonate that i mix with water and put into little silicone candy molds to dry.....so my isopods get cute little calcium stars and hearts and gummy bears and stuff as a calcium source, that was like $10 and i still have some left after a few years

[@fengshuimma9160]

I had Dubia roaches at some point as an insect feeder. They have “pet” potential, alas illegal in some parts.
