Am I able to use your common "roly poly" in a bioactive bearded dragon cage?
@TheBioDudeJoshHalter2 ай бұрын
Since they are from the outdoors, it is not recommended to use isopods that you catch, since they can harbor disease and parasites. You can definitely purchase Armadillidium species from breeders, since they are safe and free from illness/parasites (if you order from a good breeder)

Hey I’m about to set up a chameleon cage with springtails and hopefully live plants and I was wondering what you think about if I were to try to implement dung beetles
@TheBioDudeJoshHalter2 ай бұрын
Hi there, springtails and isopods are a better option because dung beetles need a lot more poop to sustain their population than a chameleon could produce.

Do you sprinkle Repashy dry or do you make it gel first? Im getting Dairy cows on Friday need to know how to feed them. Thank you
@TheBioDudeJoshHalter24 күн бұрын
Hi, we recommend sprinkling it on dry then lightly misting it to keep it in place a bit!

I'm good with my dairy cows, but unsure of how humid etc for cubaris soil.
@TheBioDudeJoshHalter2 ай бұрын
Can't go wrong with Dairy Cows. There are many different species within the cubaris genus, but most of them require a relatively high level of moisture with a lower level of ventilation. Aquariumax Pets has good videos breaking down what different species need.

My Terra Isopoda substrate is handcrafted for isopods and other detritivores. If you use it on your panda kings, let me know what you think!

Would weed matting make a good vent cover or would it not allow enough air to pass through? It has even finer holes than window screen which I'm hoping will prevent isopod mancae of even the smallest type of isopod from escaping.

what should the ventilation be for powder orange and armidilldium species ?
@TheBioDudeJoshHalter2 ай бұрын
For powder oranges in a standard indoor room, you want to have adequate ventilation because this species doesn't prefer moisture. At least 9 holes of a centimeter's diameter on the lid of the bin is what I'd recommend. As for armadillidium species, there's high variation between humidity requirements for each species. The best advice I can give is to look up the requirements for each individual species you keep. Aquariumax Pets has good videos breaking down what different species need. For example, zebra and clown species usually need a side with less ventilation to retain more moisture but they don't molt well in stagnant environments, so having a well-ventilated side of your bin with multiple holes is a good idea.

Do rubber duckies need a lot of ventilation?
@TheBioDudeJoshHalter2 ай бұрын
Hi, this species requires a higher humidity environment, so I'd recommend fewer, smaller holes of about a centimeter diameter on one side of your bin, and a few on one end of the lid. All isopods require SOME level of ventilation or they will die.

Putting half a human into your isopod culture tube is not the way to go. There are other options.
