My experience…

This is my third time ordering through this company and I have had no complaints: everything was good quality and alive. Although this time I have had a couple issues. I ordered 8 different types of isopods and the majority were alive (I only had a few die, which were from the more temperamental species- clowns and zebras, which is understandable) I did not mind having a few die off in shipping, my problems stemmed from me noticing my isopods not being completely what I ordered. Within the colonies I got, I had different species intermixed. For example: Dalmatians in my lavas, Spanish orange in my punta canas, scaber whites in my milk backs (it was not an molt), and my lavas were quite low quality with the majority being gray. Now these are not the biggest issue, it just is not the quality I expected for the amount of money I paid.
P.S. I still enjoy all my isopods, they are adorable.

Thank you for the feedback and I apologize for this experience. I will be reaching out within a couple days, please keep an eye out!
