The Isopod Barracks

The Isopod Barracks We specialize in captive bred Isopods. Established in 2016. Isopods are among the oldest fossils on record, even to this day, thousands of species exist!
(1)

The Isopods we keep are terrestrial crustaceans, not bugs, but both do belong to the phylum Arthropoda, translates into “jointed leg.” In our area of the Pacific Northwest, isopods are commonly called the roly poly or pill bug. However, Isopods go by many common names throughout the world. Many of our clients use Isopods in their vivariums and terrariums as tank janitors. Isopods will assist in cr

eating a more self-sustaining biotope by feeding off the display animals waste, leaf litter, and other organic materials. As they consume, Isopods empty nutrients from their own waste to benefit the health of the flora within any of the previously mentioned habitats. Especially the many species of isopods that burrow and create passageways throughout the substrate. Aiding in the overall health of the soil and the many organisms that depend on its composition. Basically, the waste of an Isopod essentially makes up plant fertilizer. Isopods help sustain the longevity of biotopes, and they themselves can become an occasional snack for the main inhabitant on display. Our species will be used for education, pet only, and the majority being used as the stated clean up crew. Please, always feel free to inquire about their care requirements and their husbandry. We started it all by keeping a few species of dwarf isopods within our own vivariums back in 2014. Evolving slowly, and eventually breeding over 130 species of Isopod. The majority going to fellow enthusiasts of different experience levels and for different bioactive purposes. Permitted with the PPQ526, I can legally sell, trade, and ship over state lines. We professionally pack all stock to handle shipping throughout the US, shipping cost will be determined by your zip code and the size of the selected shipping box (FEDEX PRIORITY OVERNIGHT or TWO DAY AIR OUTSIDE WASHINGTON). Our Isopods will be delivered in fully biodegradable standard 10oz cups (Not Their Forever Homes). We offer isopod enclosures as well. The habitat would include specific habitat requirements for the individual species, starting at $30 for our 160oz bin and $45 for 240oz bin (Custom Ventilated Bin, False Bottom, Seiryu Stone/Limestone Flats, Cork Flats, Leaf Litter, Carbon, Moss, Isopod Barracks Substrate). In addition, we sell two fully scaped glass enclosures with the selected species requirements in mind, LED lighting included. Please, message us for more details and inquire if interested. I WILL PRICE MATCH ANY ONLINE PERMITTED BREEDER, SIMPLY SHARE LINK OR SEND ME THEIR WEBSITE FOR REVIEW. (NO MATCHES OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES).

🙏Attention🙏

My last shipment goes out this upcoming Wednesday (5-29-2024). Reason being, the newest member to our family will be joining us in two weeks, another boy! Beyond elated…and we are so ready to bring our little dude home!

We are nearly sold out on our current availability list. I wanted to dwindle our populations as much as possible to assist with our maintenance time, and be absolutely present during this new chapter. Our climate controlled grow tents are all good to go, and I have a routine set for 12 day health/feed checks. We are hoping for some impressive population gains in late September.

Basically, for this three month time frame. I will be referring customers to reputable breeders that I trust wholeheartedly.

I may coordinate biweekly local pick ups, and will entertain an auction or two over my absence, but other than those events. All interactions will be referred to the individuals that I know in the isopod/springtail realm, and will refer based on who has been successful with the species being inquired about.

Thank you all for understanding and although a delay may be present in messenger. I am always here to assist and help guide our clients/community in the correct path, so never hesitate to ask us questions.

Now, over many years I have gained relationships within the invert community, but these are the individuals that go above and beyond in our specialized niche. I know many amazing individuals are not mentioned, even those I have never interacted with that may conduct the best practices known. However, the individuals mentioned below will be of tremendous value to your invert desires and are genuine, trustworthy individuals.
