This page lists everything we've currently got on offer — beginner isopod cultures at starter prices, premium Cubaris reduced while stocks are high, and occasional clearance on springtails, substrate and accessories. Stock rotates regularly, so if something here catches your eye it's worth grabbing rather than bookmarking for later.

Everything on this page is the same UK-bred livestock we sell at full price. Sale status doesn't mean end-of-line, stressed, or sub-standard stock — we discount when a colony is producing faster than demand, when we want to move keepers onto a species we've got surplus of, or when we're making space for new cultures. Every order ships Monday to Thursday with a live arrival guarantee and a 20% overcount as standard.

What's usually on sale here

• Beginner starter species — Dairy Cow, Powder Blue, Powder Orange, Giant Orange and other Porcellio and Porcellionides morphs, reduced for keepers building cleanup crews on a budget.
• Intermediate Cubaris — species like Panda King and White Shark when our breeding colonies are producing well.
• Armadillidium morphs — Zebra, Magic Potion and standard vulgare lines appear here regularly at starter-culture prices.
• Springtails, substrate and accessories — springtail cultures, leaf litter, cork bark and other bioactive essentials at reduced rates.

Common questions

Why are these isopods discounted — is there something wrong with them?
No. We breed isopods in surplus as a deliberate buffer against colony losses, and periodically one line produces faster than demand. Rather than hoarding stock, we move it at lower prices so keepers benefit and we free up space for new projects. It's the same captive-bred UK stock we sell at full price.

Do sale items come with the same live arrival guarantee?
Yes. Every order — sale or full price — ships with a live arrival guarantee and a 20% overcount to cover any transit losses. Orders post Monday to Thursday only, regardless of postage method, to keep livestock out of weekend depots.

How often is this page updated?
Stock changes continuously as colonies grow, sell down and rotate. If something's listed here today, it may not be tomorrow. If you're watching for a specific species to drop in price, sign up to the newsletter for notifications.

Can I combine sale items with full-price orders?
Yes, everything ships together in a single parcel. Spending more on a combined order also helps you hit our free shipping threshold.

I'm new to isopod keeping — which sale species should I start with?
Any of the Porcellio laevis morphs (Dairy Cow, Giant Orange, Snow White) or Porcellionides pruinosus (Powder Blue, Powder Orange). These tolerate UK room temperatures, breed readily, and survive beginner mistakes. Pair with a springtail culture and you've got a working cleanup crew for most bioactive setups.
