Hi, I'm Alex

Kernow Isopods started the way most invert obsessions do: with one tub, which quickly became a shelf, which quickly became most of the house.

I'm based near Truro, and what began as a few cultures of colourful Cubaris has grown into a collection of over twenty isopod lines, a tub of pink dragon millipedes, two tarantulas, a couple of mantises, a family of regal jumping spiders and a velvet spider called Tax Evasion. (Don't ask.)

Every colony here is kept in a properly set up bioactive tub: deep substrate, leaf litter, cork bark and moss, with the right warmth and humidity for each species. Everything I sell is captive-bred, never wild-caught, and properly labelled.

Whether you're setting up your first tub or hunting a collector rare, I'm always happy to help. Drop me a message any time.
