Patches the pied zebra isopod has grown 2 mm longer and has only gotten handsomer! Top pic is May 2023, bottom pic is July 2023. Hopefully he'll sire more piebald babies.
Some of the other guys in the pied zebra breeding tub are less flashy, and you wouldn't be able to tell that they're zebra isopods (Armadillidium maculatum) if you didn't know. I only separated this tub out in June, so it remains to be seen if the little babies in there will also develop funky markings.
