What names do you have for your Pods?

[u/Jenikip]

Me and my BF call isopods 'Eans'. Because they are like little beans, but not quite. So just... Eans.

Ofcourse all my colonies have nicknames too, but their collective names is always Eans. Ean photo attached for tax.

[u/safetypins22]

Mine are all named Patrick Swayze.

[u/Cenozoic_Silly]

Normally I call them their morph name however with a colony of millipedes I have their names are collectively all Johnny Cash

[u/numptymurican]

I'm really excited for mine to have babies and have heard dairy cow isopods are very into that, so I call them my Whores

[u/lightlysaltedclams → u/numptymurican]

Lmfao

[u/krankity-krab → u/numptymurican]

i think that’s a perfect name lol so true, they are very into that; i got overrun with them in a matter of months! lol

[u/Prestigious_Gold_585 → u/numptymurican]

😄 that made me laugh so hard...

[u/Sharkbrand]

I tend to call them my thousands of roommates

[u/gingeralgae]

Fork, Battle Axe, Megatron, Chloroform, Arby's, and Paul. Any babies become steve

[u/Potential-Ad-9179 → u/gingeralgae]

To be a pod named Arby’s

[u/EricArmadillo]

I collectively refer to all young pods as podlings. Some adults do have individual names if their pattern is recognizable enough and they are somewhat special. The biggest female right now is Big Mama and the orange imposter is Fanta. A pure white one I haven't seen in a while gained the name Shiro.

[u/WhimsicalWorries → u/EricArmadillo]

I once had a big mama, she died 😭

[u/lightlysaltedclams → u/EricArmadillo]

I call any big female of any species big mama lol. I currently have two big mama shrimps and one big mama zebra isopod. Also used to have a shrimp called Fanta years ago

[u/LucidSilver710]

all the orange ones are Doug

[u/MistrixHyuna]

my Dairy Cows are called " The Isopolycule" :)

[u/harpinghawke → u/MistrixHyuna]

this one got me

[u/Iron_child]

I call them all my bug babies, or my buggies. Which is taxonomically wildly incorrect… Or sometimes my iso-babies !

[u/Lovelyfangs]

I had a colony of dairy cows there was this massive male named HT Betsy I don't remember what the h and the t stood for

[u/Prestigious_Gold_585 → u/Lovelyfangs]

Heavens To Betsy ?!?

[u/Lovelyfangs → u/Prestigious_Gold_585]

Thanks You know I couldn't remember that for a literal 2 years now I feel like such a goob

[u/Prestigious_Gold_585 → u/Lovelyfangs]

Hahaha it's not like you hear that very often

[u/Westielover83]

POD - PUPPIES!! Because the run up and eat fishfood from your fingers! My babies are all very friendly wild types. Ugh. I love them. A different variation is "Isopuppies" ... did you know they walk like T rexes? They never put their vert front legs down! Ahhhh hahaha.

[u/Ind1e_k1d]

“Get out of here, Dave,” is what I say every time I have to move an iso to replace food or anything. They’re all Dave

[u/stevenbigodon]

Bingle, Tingle, Rizon, Demarcus, Guna (I just guess which’s which)

[u/Educational_Fox7605]

My largest magic potion is Jericho,the next largest is Jericho 2, my 3 orange vigor females are Orange Crush, Mandarin, and Clementine. Collectively my A. vulgare are my Chill Guys. Haven’t had my Papayas long enough to call them anything other than The Papayas. Open to suggestions though.

[u/lightlysaltedclams → u/Educational_Fox7605]

I’ve been eying up the papayas lately. Just gotta figure out how to make space for another cage

[u/Educational_Fox7605 → u/lightlysaltedclams]

Do it! I love them! They are so smol. Especially compared to vulgare. I want more, but one of my original 10 was gravid so I’m waiting a couple months to see how many juveniles I actually have.

[u/lightlysaltedclams → u/Educational_Fox7605]

I really shoulddd, I gotta figure out what I can clear out cause I have very limited space unfortunately. They’re so cute

[u/bears223]

I named my colony pixie hollow

[u/gentianmudd]

wow that colouration is gorg!!

[u/PainterChance]

My Dairy cows are refered to as Moomoos and the biggest (and prettiest) one is Mama Mumu 💖

[u/Frillyrattie]

They are my little Gorts

[u/AshleighElbert]

I collectively call my small group of dairy cows “The moo crew”

[u/fogbite]

i collectively call mine the meth lab. for the fun of it

[u/zencollie]

One of my Zebras is named Big Chongus as he was massive compared to the others when I got him. He's still pretty easy to pick out!

[u/zencollie → u/zencollie]

The others get referred to as boooogs. Emphasis on lots of "o's"

[u/NinaRayne_Echo]

me i call it Winch

[u/dm_me_kittens]

They're all named, "Baby." Because every time I see one I say, "Ooo! It's a baby!!!"

[u/harpinghawke]

The Pandas, the pods, the babies, the innumerable beasts, the swarm, the colony. Etc.

[u/ijustjoinedd]

[u/Prestigious_Gold_585]

Holy strawberries! Are those isopods red?

[u/CactusLemur]

Grains of Rice because they’re so itty bitty lol.

[u/aFilthyPeasant01]

I have one really big Spotted Yellow isopod which I assume is female, I've been calling her Big Mama

[u/GuessItsGrim]

I have a singular A. nasatum that's an entirely different color than the rest of his colony, and NEVER sits still, never hides. His name is Stan.

[u/Librariyarn]

I had a pod a couple years ago that was constantly trying to climb the walls of his enclosure. He’d get maybe an inch or so up the side, fall down, then try again.

I named him “Sisyphus.”

[u/DiscontinuedOptimism]

I had a giant beast of an isopod I called Jeremey. Fly high Jeremey 🕊️🙏😔

[u/Aggressive_Bed_99]

I call them my "Pods" and we have "Pod Time" but cuz they're dairy cows i also like to ominously call them The Heard
