The images on those vendor pages appear to be what we have long called fusca, no matter what it is it is not giganteus. It is a big species but tiny compared to giganteus. Compare those images to the coloration of the real giganteus:

This species has been around since 2018 but still no real identification on it though T. rotundatus (though it is not that species) is floated around. It seems really easy but is still one of the rarest isopods and pretty pricey.

Finally arrived, some of it's silly like a little white box of water and a package of sticks.

These beetle breeding items are things you never see in the US (we just see the beetle jellies, holders, splitters and a few things) and some like the anti-mite bedding sound a little dangerous. I think the special substrate water is just water? Anybody use the orange gel beads or pellets?

This species was one of the very first offerings of unique European isopods in the hobby beginning in 2016. They are neat but not like the ones that later arrived. Anyone still keeping these? Any five-year-old stock around?
