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!

So so pleased with these guys.

I know ive said it 100 times but I just am so excited to have finally cultured a strong line. I also have managed to keep the bright yellow which they usually loose.

The yellow pigment can diminish too. Over time and them not getting the same nutrients from the wild that they normally get, that glow can fade with molts. Its common to see in the hobby many pods loose color exp lemon blues. I have managed to keep it even with the babies.

Hopefully they continue to be as hearty as they have. Also feeding them a high value protein diet has seemed to help they grow a little quicker than what im used to seeing.

I have played around with alot of diff nutrients this year and I am working on making a mix. I just have to wait for kudzu to come back

Well, that's all for 2025 shipping!

Everyone in the queue has been shipped, along with some springtail orders, which have filled my front and back seats.

What began as a modest endeavor to generate some weekly income has evolved into something far more substantial than I could have ever envisioned. Last year's record-breaking numbers were surpassed by 2025, and I am grateful for your unwavering support. Your trust and loyalty have been instrumental in my growth, and I appreciate your patience during the challenges I've faced.

Initially, I focused on smaller-value boxes, but I have since refined my collection to include mainly the rarest inverts. As a result, the average value of each box has increased fourfold. My objective was to provide inverts at reasonable prices, and I am pleased to have achieved that goal. In 2026, I will concentrate on rare, high-value inverts that I have grown to appreciate over the years. I am excited to share my plans with you next year.

This community has been a vital source of comfort and strength, particularly during the challenges I've faced as a mother. My child's regression and autism diagnosis have presented significant difficulties, and I am grateful for the support and camaraderie I've found here. I have formed meaningful connections with individuals who share my passion for springtails, including a my candy/slime girl in New York who has become a close friend and confidante. I also appreciate the support of my Ohio friend, who has been a constant source of encouragement, as well as my Massachusetts friend, who has gone out of her way to get me bark flats and specific leaf litter. My Wisconsin brother from another mother, who has been instrumental in helping me with pill mills. He is who I go to when I am stumped with an invert and he always answers. And my kindred spirit friend and twin flame friend all in one. Who knows things about me no one does. Who has gotten me through my darkest hours this year just listening. You all know who you are. Thank you, yall are worth your weight in gold to me and I will forever be indebted to you. As my New York family would say, 'I am 10 toes down for you, for life.'

Onto the next 12 months, and onto bigger and better things! I hope everyone has a beautiful holiday and stay safe.

Also my s@le is still running through 12/26 but wont ship out till the second week of Jan! Its the last week of the best deals till next winter!

Panda spiky of all sizes....these are up on my site and are 25% off. Yall are gonna miss a heck of a steal on them.....

Anyways, I am at the dealership with my new car. Yes, 2025 with 22k miles on it. The car started running funky last week and I checked the oil like any other normal citizen would. It looked way too watery. So I smelled it, and got a huge whiff of gas. Now that ive had a headache for 5 days and im sure its from huffing gas fumes because I did it again to make sure I was smelling what I thought I was since its a newer car and it shouldnt smell like fu**ing gas.......

Remember how I said my life was like having multiple fires at once? It doesnt end.

The dealership tried to tell me well its 184 for a diagnostic on it. If its a manufacturer defect you wont have to pay that. If it isnt you will. Ummmm excuse me? 22k miles on the damn car, its a defect. Im not paying s**t and if I have to yall can keep the pos.

Im sorry but I shouldnt even be here with the damn thing 2 months after I bought it with a problem. But that is how my life has been going so here we are.
