Default Tropical Woodlice

Does anyone know where I might be able to get a few dozen of these?

I have seen some kits for breeding, but they seem a bit OTT - I only need a few for house keeping in my Whip scorpion tank. Has anyone tried them?

Thanks,
-G

I have a large culture of these that I no longer have any real use for.

I will gladly send you a film case with some in up (dependant on weather).

Just let me know where to send them.

I've just sent you a pm, and again, that's really generous of you to offer.

Dig some up in your garden... work exactly the same and breed like wildfire as long as its damp and warm.
