Ctenorillo Sp " Boqueron" - Puerto Rico Spiky Isopod

These guys are adorable but you wouldnt know it unless you have a macro lens on them.

Sometimes when I have stresses happening I zoom in on different isopods and watch them and it just takes me outta my world for a little while.

So these may be a smaller species but they are super adorable. Produce well. And are easy to care for

After looking for awhile this new mushroom compost started showing up in my area called hapi grow. I used to use just natural and it was good but it took alot of sifting through. It was very time consuming. So to open this bag and see the quality, I love it already. I think i am going to hold back the chunks i pulled and use those as a top layer in the isopod bins that love chunky soil. I will not use this for my springtails though because it will be too muddy with the high humidity they need. Only thing missing is Georgia beetle flake soil. Im super stoked. Lowe's in my area carries it

My stepdaughter is ok just to update everyone.

I wanted to touch on the topic of refunds. I dont do them.

Anytime you order or send an order. Message for one. However it may be, I pay fees on it. That and I dont have time to adjust lists. Change shipping schedules. I get it that things happen but if you know thats your last doll@r dont send it to me. I explain in full detail the wait and when it will ship. Im very communicative about it.

If I end up sending a refund to you, you wont ever be able to order again from me. Because it is explained in my terms and policies. If you have just one hundred doll@rs dont go spend that all on inverts and then when you need it back, you request me to send you the money back because it hasnt shipped yet. It isnt my responsibility to manage your money and hold onto it till you need it back all because you made a choice to spend it how you did.

This is a policy for most small businesses that are s3lling live inverts. We do not have the time, patience or endless buckets of m0ney that we can eat fees out of. My website charges a fee depending on your method of payment then they charge me a fee to send it to me based on my method. Paypal charges f33s too. My time wasted never gets paid for neither so we as breeders loose m0ney all around.

Between shipping supplies that my shipping charges rarely fully cover, some weeks I loose m0ney. I price my inverts incredibly competitive in pricing and I dont want to have to change that because ppl have me eating fees left and right. FYI

Today is the last day of the 25% off. This s@le only runs once a year, thanksgiving through christmas.

I also will not be available for the next few days. We had a family emergency last night and since our lives werent complicated enough, my 13 year old stepdaughter decided to throw our lives into more turmoil. I wont get into it here because its incredibly sensitive but just know that every life matters. Your life matters. My life matters. Everyone's lives matter and when you do something stupid it puts everyone's lives at risk. If you need help get help. Idc who you talk to but talk to someone.

Shipping resumes the tuesday after the 1st. I may start shipping on Mondays too but I will let everyone know when or if that happens.

the s@le is live on my site till midnight est

Isopoda Armageddon

These are my fav smaller spiky species. Unlike Thai spiky and gators they are out all the time. I see them uptop everytime I open my bin. I set them up in a small 2qt bin from the dollar tree. They like higher humidity. I have some limestone rocks in with them and I just lay leaf litter across the top. When I pick it up theres always a bunch on the soil under the leaves.

I got the call yesterday that JR is starting aba therapy Wednesday the 31st. He will be going mon-friday 9am till 4pm. We are super excited to see how it helps with his speech, sleep, behaviors and being around kids his age all day. This also means that I can offer FedEx for the time he is at the Gastonia NC location until Shelby opens space for him.

I will also be able to ship starting on Mondays too. It won't be the first shipping week of jan that I do start it just because that will be rhe first full week he has but it opens up so much more shipping time for me. It was the best christmas present to our family was getting that call.

I hope everyone has a very merry christmas. The s@le is still on till friday. Don't miss it.

I really hate making these posts but its becoming common and its starting to frustrate me.

When I post s@les and get questions on bulk amounts, let me explain what happens on my end.

I have to pull time away from whatever I am doing to check and see how many I have. I have to pause whatever little time I have to go look and take 10mins to an hour out of my day to do it. I already have 25% off the reg pricing which I am cheaper than market on mostly everything as it is. When ppl buy bulk I still give them a deal but not wholesale. I dont need to wholesale because I have a hard time keeping stock as it is.

After I count and tell you what I have, I pull it out of stock on my site. Out of availability for others to buy them. So if someone tries to buy those within those few days of me waiting on your answer and cant, I loose the s@le twice.

Last month, I had someone ask me about bulk cherry blossoms and gave them a Hella good price on 30. Did I need to loose time with my family to pull away, count them, pull them out of stock and wait for a response to never hear back? No.

This month its happened 3 times already. Once with some millipedes which are even harder to count because you have to dig through the whole bin.

I work full time, I go to school, I run this business and I have a special needs child at home, along with a husband that needs a knee replacement. I am spread entirely too thin to have someone waste my time. If you are not serious about buying bulk do not ask me. If you cant times the online price by however many you want and afford that number dont message me. Most of the time its cheaper than that but still. Its starting to frustrate the bejesus out of me.

I am incredibly giving. My pricing is insane compared to market. I can spit out a few without even looking. White sharks 10 for 40. Market is 10 for 100. Pink dragons 10 for 50. Market is 10 for 100. Cherry blossoms are 6/150 rn. Market is 6 for 200 or more and they arent bright pink. Ruffoi 10 for 100. Market is 10 for 150. Daxin are 6 for 90 rn, market is 5 for 150. I can go on and on.

Pink dragons I sometimes list 50 for 150 or a buck a piece. I am now limiting that to one person that buys bulk from me and isnt a hassle. And because it isnt appreciated. He messages me, tells me how many and sends payment. Because he understands the value.

I breed everything I have before I let it out to the public. Its one of the main reasons why my pricing is what it is, coupled with how I am as a person and how much I value YOUR dollar. Please dont then waste my time. I appreciate each and everyone of you and I know sometimes our lives get busy and I get that. But please please dont waste my time. I put far too much into this and loose m0ney all the time to then loose my time too.

Thats the end of my Ted talk

Sri lankan pygmy lizards are some of the most docile lizards. I interact with them everyday, particularly the reason why I havent added a mister is to make sure I do so.

She is naturally thin and yes she eats alot lol. I have had this pair almost a year and if I could have 20 more I would. Their care is simple, they are out alot and with daily interaction they get like this. She just kinda hangs out. Even offers some kisses.

I cant wait till these guys breed so I can offer them to the people that have been so amazing to me. They stay pretty small so they dont need extravagant set ups. I just chose to give one to mine.

Anyone that is currently on the list for Rambutanura, i may have a bulk opportunity for you

ONLY IF YOU HAVE A RESERVE ALREADY

50 of these precious spiky springs

Message me for details. I am scheduling this to post during the day when I am asleep from working overnight. But this is an amazing opportunity for those that do expos and need higher numbers to breed a bunch. Or for breeding the s3ll online. Whatever you know 🤣

These guys require slime mold to live. They are available and I am currently into feb for shipping. I am just swimming in them with 2 bins 😆

Im feeling generous lately. I guess thats what they call the christmas spirit.....

Any orders 100 or more until 12/26 will get put into a drawing with a chance to get a 6 ct of cherry blossoms added to your box. You wont know until its delivered if you were chosen.

I have done so much giving back this holiday season. If you havent bought a toy for a random kid, you should try it and see how it makes you feel. Idk what it is about it. Idk if it was because we were poor growing up. I have been addicted to looking through wishlists in a group on fb and buying random toys for people that need help this christmas and will never know who did it.

I also did 2 usps operation santa letters. Thats another cool program where your boxes go directly to the family. I have spent probably 2.5k now on random people in the past 4 weeks. Not that I want a pat on the back at all. I would love for anyone to try even just a single toy.

Over the past few years I have dug incredibly deep to find myself. I have done so much work to find the true me. Digging in bins, giving back and working hard has kept me on this road to peace and happiness.

So now its yalls turn to get something back. These are some pretty pink pods. And I know they will love the home they end up in.

25% off runs till 12/26 and there is shop pay checkout. If you need a paypal pay in 4 message me and that i can do through paypal itself. Anyone that has bought this week since Monday will be entered whether that was a 1:1 or an online order.

And you never know I may just throw them into everyone's box. Ive been on a roll lately 🤣

12/19/2025

So many good crazy options are still up and available. 25% off continues till 12/26 and I have thought about extending it again till new years day just because so many people have been able to take advantage.

Its the best steal of the year. If you are very cold and have a direct ups store nearby you can use their address in the shipping area. Add to the secind line hold for pickup. If a box goes to a store, I can ship in any temps. Overnight can make it anywhere temps wise. 2 day i cut it off at 20⁰ to the door day time temps.

Cherry blossoms are 150 plus ship
Armageddon (the craziest deal up) are 225 plus shipping
Durians are cheapest in market I didnt calculate those
Pak chongs are a very healthy line. They are up.
Green lasers are the healthiest line ive ever had. No "added blood". It dilutes the genetics exp if you add in a weaker line not knowing.

If a line is weaker and you need new genetics just start a new bin. Don't mix in others. Ive learned the hard way over the years.

Rambutanura sp thailand are 10/150 plus shipping. I am into the first week of feb for reserves. If you have slime ordered and want to be on the list please message me for the payment details. Each week I usually push to the next.

The rest is isorarepods.com and there's also shop pay checkout. If you need to do PayPal pay in 4, I have to do that manually from my PayPal

Zoosphaerium neptunus check

Theres only been a few individuals uptop lately so I decided to do a dig check.

I also did this when starting with the Rhopalomeris years ago. And lately I have seen some mites hanging out on them so I figured it would be a good time to remove a bunch of soil and add new in. Also something I did alot woth Rhopalomeris to get them going.

Also, mites are not bad. I know that rumor went around years ago to get people not to buy from other people but idk a single soul that doesnt have them and has 100 bins of dirt. And if you say you dont have them or have never had them and have 100 bins of dirt i think your full of dookey.

Anyways, I pulled alot of soil out and much to my happy surprise I found every single one dug down. They molt, harden and come back up. But the shells they leave behind are impressive and that is probably what is attracting the wood or grain mites. I added new soil back and another new leaf layer.

So, these guys are truly doing great and I hope this is just the start of something even better for the hobby!
