Unique Pet Isopods
I'm Dune, and these are my Pods!
I am an isopod keeper focusing on finding and breeding high expression color and pattern morphs of armadillidium vulgare isopods, also known as the common pillbug, potato bug, roly-poly, or woodlouse. I am blogging my experiences and collecting as much data as I can about how my local morphs are evolving. After I got interest in my isopods online, I decided to make my journey as a breeder public and make my morph available for any collectors or enthusiasts wanting fun, beautiful pets.

What Makes Dune's Pods Special?
The local a. vulgare (Southeast USA) present very high contrast expression of the wild type coloration, and various color and pattern morphs not commonly seen elsewhere. As a result, they make a perfect display pet for hobbyists, genetic variation for breeders, and stunningly unique specimens for collectors! I raise my isopods on a rich, varied diet and handle them regularly to encourage friendly, social behavior for viewing and interacting. As isopods can live to be 3-5 years old, maintaining a safe presence with your pets is ideal for your pets' long term comfort.
