Scarlet Isopod (Merulanella sp. Scarlet) - Care Guide

Merulanella sp. Scarlet is a very rare and gorgeous isopod. After searching for a long time, I was finally able to acquire some Scarlet Isopods and decided to create a care guide for all of you who are interested in keeping them (although that might be a few of you)! They also might be a bit expensive, but let's not think about that. Hope you enjoy the Video.

[@emilysmith5500]

This is amazing, I love the editing for the video, you can definitely see how much work you put into this.😊 I hope someday I can both find the Scarlets in stock and afford them at the same time! Haha. 😂😂😂

[@PureAndShrimple]

Nice! New subscriber. I got 10 isopods last week. I haven't seen them since 😂 Is there a video for the tank build? I'm just editing mine now.

[@reidrayfield6685]

Being diurnal might help these isopods survive better with a crested gecko because they'll be active while the gecko is sleeping.

[@k2a2l2]

great idea

[@brewallace6510]

wants pretty isopods: chooses the most expensive kind I know of (they are really pretty tho)

[@Antifacio]

The golden isopod. I guess it would be great cleen up crew for billionares geckos;) You can by 3 chickens for the price of 1 isopod. Some are even more expensive for a now. But world is not explored, there could be a lot more species on earth.

[@itssassysarah]

1) I LOVE the scarlet isopods, they’re such a beautiful species😍 2) AWESOME setup 3) For breeding in a huge enclosure…they may get lost and be less likely to find each other, interact and therefore breed..THAT SAID I could be wrong. I hope you enjoy and have good luck with breeding them!

[@Abromandis]

Glad to hear that you also enjoy the scarlet Isopods, and I understand your concern with the enclosure size, I had similar concerns. The wise thing to do is to keep them in a smaller enclosure to maximize breeding success. The reason I didn't decide to keep them in a smaller encloser is that I mainly got them to be a display piece, and as long as the isopods can't escape the encloser (no matter the size), they will eventually be able to find each other and breed. But this could take a much longer time compared to keeping them in a smaller enclosure.

[@JohnDoe-xq8sk]

It doesn't matter on size they will have no issues finding eatchother.

[@beckyzandieh7511]

+1 subs congrats on 4 subscribers

[@Abromandis]

Thank you👍

[@Antifacio]

These are beautifull species, almoust unnatural colours. I guess with a time with more aviable they will have more reasonable price. One for 60$ - caring would be with trembling fingers. Alder leaves seems to be the best option: great nutrient profile with a lot of protein + no mold. Oak leaves have poor nutrients it even don't decomposes but no mold. Mulberry leaves have good nutrient content but molds like bread, not good. Also yellow autumn birch leaves could be good option, poor in nutrients but beautifull.

[@NTSTAT]

I can’t get my hands on these in the US

[@Abromandis]

That is very unfortunate

[@b.t7452]

the reason they freeze when you film is likely your camera's light distance detection system (forgot what its actually called) which they sense but we cant see, that probably scares them enough to make them freeze up (I may be completely wrong though)

[@Abromandis]

Interesting, you may be on to something

[@BillyGrayson-ie2di]

So fresh content + subscribe

[@darkvader2660]

Where did you get 10 for 600😂 I can only find people who sell about 5 for 600-650 and that’s the cheapest I can find also not guaranteeing they all live

[@Abromandis]

I got them from someone I found on Kijiji

[@lowqiyun]

How are they doing? Are they breeding?

[@Abromandis]

They are doing well, but unfortunately I haven't noticed any breeding. Of course, in such a large enclosure, I may have simply missed the babies.

[@Lux-le7kb]

They have the same Colors has my country flag 🇧🇪 Belgium (and Germany 🇩🇪 but dont talk about it)

[@PeppersnGlowworms]

Well, that money could have been spend in worse ways...

[@Bigunce69]

Did a 10 pack actually cost $600? Also where did you get em’?

[@Abromandis]

That is correct. I got them from a fellow hobbyist on Kijiji. Some exotic reptile stores may have them (even online ones), and they could be found at reptile expos too. But they are still very rare and hard to find.

[@Bigunce69]

@@Abromandisdangggggg! Thanks though!
