I’ll admit they were a bit of an impulse buy…don’t burn me at the stake…reptile expo prices are too good.
But now i’m kind of realising a lot of sites contradict eachother about their care.
Any tips for my current setup? I want these little guys to thrive:

Isopods!! My favorite little cleaning crews!

It definitely looks good. They’re so ridiculously easy to care for, and you look like you’ve got everything. When I had an isopod enclosure (just for them, lol) I added moss and they seemed to love it too.

Have you ever seen rubber ducky isopods?

Ohhh i love rubber duckies!
Once I get all my tanks setup they'll absolutely be next, theyre adorable.

What moss did you add? I've currently got sphagnum but want some of those pretty green moss (carpet/pillow moss I think?)

Just some from outside honestly. The pretty green soft stuff that’s really pillowy and makes you want to find a field of it to lay down on.

The blues are hardy & can survive a wide range of setups. I actually use them in my Suboc bioactive which is a more desert setup. They’ve done well. It looks like nothings in there then you move a bowl or piece of cork & they explode in all directions.

Zebras are hardy too & breed like crazy, I use them in one of the blue tongue skinks bio enclosure & they keep up well.
