Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Isopods not producing
Last November, I collected 50 or so isopods from the woods in my area, with the intention of starting a colony of feeders. I had read that they take a while to get started producing, but after 4+ months, nothing seems to be happening.
Bedding is a mix of peat and soil. They have a thick layer of leaves from the collection site, and lots of bark to hide under. I keep one end well moistened, and the top mostly covered to retain humidity. I feed them vegetable scraps, and they have cuttlebone for calcium. I keep them in my cool dark basement.
They are still alive, but apparently not reproducing. Should it take this long? Do you see anything obviously wrong with my setup?
Would I be better off just purchasing a culture of a different variety?

Probably get better response in the bug forum but I hope this helps.
The breeding season usually lasts from late spring to early summer. The hatching season generally ends in early fall to late winter. Expect 2 to 3 egg laying per female per year.
