UPDATED JULY 13TH 2026 - I apologize if you have sent me an email and I have not gotten back to you!! I am having some issues between craiglist's email relay, filters, and google's new 'unfamiliar email' spam filtering, so I am trying to sift through my spam folder to get to any unanswered inquiries today. Please email my google email address at isopuppyinverts for ease of communication. I do have a full time retail job when I am not tending to my bugs, but I try to be as prompt as possible with responses :)
In other news, I am going to be at the Cold Blooded Expos Iowa Reptile Show in West Des Moines on the 19th from 10:00am to 4:00pm with a table full of bugs! I will have praying mantises, millipedes, isopods, and feeders!
Setting up a new tank for a reptile friend? Making a display terrarium? I have the perfect bugs for you!
I raise multiple species of isopods (roly polys) for use in bioactive enclosures, reptile feeders, and general viewing enjoyment.
These are the isopod species I currently have available:
- Porcellio scaber "Spanish Orange"
- Porcellio cf. laevis "Dairy Cow - Vanilla Bean"
- Armadillidium cf. pallasi "Croatian Giant - Orange"
- Armadillidium maculatum "Zebra"
- Cubaris sp. "Panda King" & "Red Panda King"
- Spherillo sp. "Hainan Black"
I also raise small feeder insects for small invertebrates, amphibians, fish, and reptiles.
- Peanut Beetles (Ulomoides dermestoides)
- Pantry Moths (Plodia interpunctella)
- Rice Weevils (Sitophilus oryzae)
- Drugstore Beetles (Stegobium panecium)
Please contact me via email (isopuppyinverts) if interested and we can work something out! I am also in the process of setting up a Facebook account under the same name, which will be an alternative point of contact. I accept rehoming fees & trades for other invertebrates, terrarium supplies, and plants. Located in Johnston, public meeting areas only, but willing to travel around the DSM metro and potentially further.
