They may not be the first animal you'd expect to find in this community, but the rubber ducky isopods in SerpaDesign's new video definitely made me say "awww."

"...and that's why most people have multiple setups."

Not sure how to break it to him, but actually no, the number of slater tubs most people have in their house is zero.

Not that they aren't cool and all, but that's one hella niche hobby you got there, friendo.

I generally understand that to mean "most people within the hobby"

In context I belive this is correct.

Also speaking from personal experience, yes, if you start collecting isopods you end up with a wall of containers. We used to live in a basement where we could have tanks to our hearts content and alongside 1500 gallons of aquariums we had 8 tubs for isopods if memory serves me correctly.

I guess he meant as in people who already are into keeping them as pets have multiple setups.

in their house

Don't assume that. You have no idea how many unintentional wonderful isopod habitats exist on your property. Rather than building a terrarium, you can encourage them to come to your garden. !fucklawns@lemmy.world

Definitely fuck lawns, but I live in an apartment :D

Oh. I forgot nobody owns their living space anymore.

I know a YouTube rabbit hole when I see one. That's a big one

One again everytime I watch a vid of his I want to move back into a basement apartment so I can have tracks to my hearts content and not worry about the load capacity of my floors.

[–] alianne@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

If I ever get out of this apartment that only allows nano tanks, I - and my floors - will be in trouble. So many ideas, so little usable space for them all.

He inspired me to convert an emergency egress casement (window well in a basement,) into a terrarium.

That was something I had the local code inspector weigh in on first, but, I covered up the hideous galvanized wall with a facade of slate (inch thick, cut into 1/8-1/4 inch wide strips.) with mosses, liverworts and some other odds and ends.

It definitely was a way to bring some green into the basement.

The jar terrariums are also easy and I may have made a few of those…

The dude uses "that said" about every sixty seconds. It's a distracting dependence on a single idiomatic expression.
