[QUOTE="MatthewM1, post: 30452, member: 3019"] Love isopods for my more humid enclosure. Just started up springtail cultures last week so I haven't gotten to use them yet. For slings I usually add 1-2 half grown iso's. My juvies that I keep moister get around a half dozen. All my current larger T's have bone dry sub and wouldn't support life of microfauna. You only need a couple to make bolus's disappear. I haven't found a bolus in my 3" P. cancerides enclosure since adding isopods. I would be cautious of using the larger species native to the US I've read a handful of occurrences in the past of them eating a molting tarantula. Many people use them without issue but not worth the risk for me. Never heard of tropical dwarf sp.'s doing so though. [/QUOTE]
