      Browse our full range of captive-bred isopods, bred and shipped from the UK. Whether you're building a bioactive vivarium, stocking a planted terrarium, or starting a dedicated isopod collection, you'll find beginner-friendly species, rare designer morphs, and dwarf pods for smaller setups — all on this page.

      Popular starter species like Dairy Cow, Powder Blue and Magic Potion sit alongside premium Cubaris species such as Rubber Ducky, Panda King and White Shark. Every pod listed here is bred in-house — we don't sell wild-caught isopods.

      Why this page lists every species we work with (even sold-out ones): we run our inventory like a Pokédex — full transparency on what's in culture. If a species shows out of stock, it means the next generation of mancae is growing on and will be ready soon. Use the availability filter above to see what's ready to ship today.

      Quick answers

      Which isopods are best for beginners?
      Porcellio laevis morphs (Dairy Cow, Orange, Snow White), Armadillidium vulgare ('Magic Potion' and standard morphs), and Porcellionides pruinosus (Powder Blue, Powder Orange) are the most forgiving. They tolerate a wide humidity range, breed readily, and recover from keeper mistakes.

      Are your isopods captive-bred?
      Yes — every isopod is captive-bred at our UK facility, acclimated to UK room temperatures, and packed with moisture, substrate and food for the journey.

      Can I use these as a bioactive cleanup crew?
      Yes. Isopods (also called woodlice, pill bugs or roly-polies) process leaf litter, decaying wood, faeces and uneaten food, making them one of the most effective cleanup crews for reptile, amphibian, invertebrate and planted vivariums. Pair with springtails for full mould control.

      How are isopods shipped?
      Orders post Monday–Thursday only, regardless of postage method chosen, so livestock isn't sitting in a depot over the weekend. Every order includes species-specific care guidance.
