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.
isopod espionage
I have zebra isopods cohabbing with powder oranges. One of them might outcompete the other eventually, but the Halloweeny contrast delights me.

The council will see you now.
With reddit and my favorite sub r/isopods having a bad time, I guess I should move my isoposting here.
Armadillidium maculatum, Porcellionides pruinosus
I've been getting really into isopod keeping and breeding lately. Right now I'm trying to breed "chocolate zebras" from the regular black-and-white zebras I got last summer, and I got a little mottled fellow that looks quite different (first pic). I wonder if it's some sort of piebaldism. Regular zebras in the second and third pic, Armadillidium maculatum.
Happy Invertefest! Please gaze upon my pet snail Snart looking real suspicious-like at the burgeoning zebra isopod herd.

I carved some isopod stamps and I think people should see them
