[QUOTE="Vermis, post: 198560, member: 37487"] o_O I don't keep isopods (yet), so what do I know that those YouTube keepers don't, and I understand the benefits of a humidity gradient; but having the majority of an [I]isopod[/I] enclosure be dry just comes across like bad advice. The behaviour of your isopods... ... also seems to suggest they don't like it quite [I]that[/I] dry. Maybe they emerge and eagerly ramble about the dry side before retreating the moisture, I dunno. If it were me, I might try reverting to the less extreme humidity gradient. Mouldy wood, again, not much first-hand experience, but I've been up and down [USER=4652]@Hisserdude[/USER]'s blog recently, and the unworried aside in this post stuck in my mind: [URL unfurl="true"]https://invertebratedude.blogspot.com/2017/12/roach-babies-pystalla-ups-and-downs.html?m=1[/URL] It's something I try to keep in mind myself, when I see some fluff appear on the bark in my new roach colonies.
