My new hyperfixation is isopods. Rolly Pollies are so cute. I originally got some for my terrariums as a clean up crew, and have had them for a year now. But something clicked in my brain this past month - and now I just want all the isopods!

I got 20 Cubaris murina "Little Sea" isopods a year ago. Had to do a container reset today - so many Pollies!
My second kind is Armadillidium vulgare "Wild Type". Black with gold flecks. Sparked my interest in finding what kind they were and I went down a rabbit hole. I'm obsessed!
Y,know - resetting the container is easy. It's the collecting and transferring isopods that's the long and tedious part. Really broke my back today trying to get them all
Alright. I want to make some nice set ups for my pods. Like - the sterilite bins are cheap and efficient, but they don't LOOK nice. I want to see my pods do their thing, y'know?
I am limiting myself on how many isopods to keep. A max of 3 bins or types. But I had a hard time deciding what my 3rd one would be. Orange Vigor and Magic Potion are both so beautiful!!! But then I discovered the Gem mix! They come in on Wednesday ~ I'm so excited!!! It has both in the mix

So! I invested in two new containers.
Terrarium #2: Armadillidium vulgare "Wild Type"
Native and Wild Caught.
Terrarium #3: Armadillidium vulgare "Gem Mix" - Wild Type, Magic Potion, and Orange Vigor
And that's all I shall invest in ~ Those are my pods.
