It's #WoodlouseWednesday ! Trachelipus caucasius is probably one of the prettiest and most popular Trachelipus species in captivity, as well as one of the fastest breeding. This is one of two localities of the species that I keep, and although they used to look more typical (simply dark with cream skirt), most individuals in this bin over the years have started expressing some level of "calico" pattern.
It's #WoodlouseWednesday ! This is Trachelipus nodulosus. The species originates from Central Europe, and it is one of the easiest Trachelipus to breed in captivity, in my experience. This group exhibits a faint calico pattern, but the other localities I have are almost pitch black.
It's #WoodlouseWednesday ! Some Trachelipus trilobatus from the bins. They are a gorgeous isopod species native to Romania with a colour and body plan somewhat reminiscent of Porcellio werneri.
It's #WoodlouseWednesday ! Some of the Trachelipus nodulosus I breed, the babies are in the leaf litter at the moment.
I have a different form that gets more of a calico pattern, but this dark form gets larger.
This should be Trachelipus nodulosus, for #WoodlouseWednesday .
It's #WoodlouseWednesday and I have some recently acquired Trachelipus razteburgii for you.
Two individuals from a recently started group of Trachelipus camerani 'Corfu'! I'm experimenting with a small clip-on lense to get more details.
