Sydney Nova Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Hello! I've been finding a lot of roly polys or isopods in my backyard this last week, going from the lawn into the pool and unaliving themselves, so I started saving them and I went to a reptile store yesterday to help me get the tank set up. They're so much fun and I love this new hobby so far! My friend asked me to get some for her so she could give them to her nephew who's into bugs, and so I collected 4 this morning and instead of putting them in my main tank, I put them into a small Tupperware bowl with a wet paper towel. I will post some pictures of them. They're the same species as the ones in my tank, and as a bonus question, could anyone tell me what the little black specs are around the paper towel friends? I'm thinking it's poop but not sure. Thanks so much in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All About Arthropods Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 These are Armadillidium vulgare (Common Pillbugs). 🙂 And, yes, that is their poop. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
