Renee encouraged me to pick up some new projects to get me hyped up about pods again, we had a few crashes, as we all do, and it is difficult for me to keep positive when things aren't going according to plan. I will say she was right, taking photos of new and old isopods again really reminded me what I love the most about keeping isopods. Enjoy some of my most recent photos.
Speaking of Uromastyx, we picked up some new enclosures for the Ornates, we have a 1.3 and plan to breed them this year and getting them all in their own 4x2x2 is a must for accommodating a proper lay box. If things go well expect to see babies on the site by the fall.

We picked up a new project recently, more of a future project but an exciting one. The pair are about 3 years old, ideally they should be 5-6 before they breed so we have a good head start. I parted with a male Egyptian a good 15 years ago and regretted it immediately, getting another chance to keep and breed them is a real treat. After the expo we will be mixing up a big batch of substrate and redoing their 6 foot tanks so they can borrow themselves a perfect habitat.
