It's a Strigamia I think, they're very pretty.

I just learned Isopods could be kept in enclosures this morning! Your centipede is lovely. Who else lives in there, and are there plants too?

Besides a couple isopod species, we also got a Schizomida population, and a year-old Crosbyella spinturnix harvestperson who is clearly not skipping meals.

Oh pleasing, that vibrant orange glow against the substrate! I had no idea harvestpeople lived so long, they are so delicate I had assumed they were ephemeral. Do you need to mist them to keep everyone from dessicating?

Doesn't bother the isopods? What do you feed her?

apsciencebylyn.bsky.social•15 days ago

Don't have to, there's plenty of random tiny things for her to eat in there. It's very lively. The isopods are much, much larger than her.

How do you stop mold or unwanted mites or other problems from happening in an enclosure like that? Is it dry? Do you clean out the droppings frequently?
