[QUOTE="octanejunkie, post: 198215, member: 3872"] In order for isopods to be successful you need the conditions that they require, usually a bioactive enclosure with decaying organic matter like leaves and wood and boluses and uneaten prey. I have spring tails and isopods in all of my bioactive enclosures and so far all species have peacefully coexisted, but that's usually because I established the bioactive environment and the custodian species before adding the display animal. So I know the conditions are right for the custodians. I don't know that I would consider springtails and isopods a risk to a molting tarantula if they are in an environment that is conducive to their needs. Why don't you go ahead and start an enclosure specifically for your isopods and don't worry about adding them to a tarantula enclosure. There are many hobbies that just collect isopods [/QUOTE]
