Vagina mites. Usually found in the vaginas of white women who let /b/tards sleep with them. When the unsuspecting /b/tard, who is obviously quite excited to be losing his virginity, sticks it in he loses it.

Isopod, AKA giant aquatic pill bug.

Sea-dwelling cousin to the little roly-polys that live under the rock in your back yard.

And yes, they can roll up in to a ball.

I propose that from now on anyone who asks what a giant isopod is is insta and perma b&.

I think the question is, where the fuck do I get one?

Hahah. Vagina mites sound a lot like Vegemite too, which is disturbing.

Whoa, just noticed the triangular eyes.

Any other animals with weird fucking eyes?

So... I'm just gonna assume, to make my questions valid, that you're actually getting an isopod.

Okay.

WTF do you feed it? What kind of habitat do you keep it in? Do you handle it? What's the life-span? Are they commercially available?

Seeing as how it's a scavenger, my guess is almost anything with some occasional dosages of something with calcium? Though if it's anything like hermit crabs some sort of sand/substrate is probably needed with water. I seriously doubt you can get them through normal commercial means.

Where the hell did you get that? I doubt it's something you can find in any corner pet store.

I was about to ask the same things: first of all it's a scavenger that feeds on sunken dead whales for example. And the second thing is that those things live in depth of up to 9000 metres, I suppose that the pressure is just right for them there, how can one survive in a normal fish tank?

IF THIS IS TRUE. You are now obligated to get some non-toxic paint and write "sup /an/" on its back.

And if this is true, OP most likely lives in SE Asia or somewhere and yanked it up live at a market. They sometimes get caught in fishing nets and the're surprisingly hardy for deep-sea monsters. Still. It has to suck for him.

PS: Feed it fish. Try tuna that's gone bad.

Holy crap its OVER 9000!!!

no wonder its almost flat

There was a quick peek to Isopod's life in the Planet Earth serie.. Loved it. I find it hard to believe that one could have an Isopod as a pet. 9000 or more the thing is that should one be caught in a web and be dragged up, the pressure difference is so incredibly huge that it is impossible for the animal to survive.

actually they live in a range of depths of as shallow as 550ft to the super deep, scavengers are adaptable mother fuckers

Indeed they are... Evolutionally speaking. As everything else. They just adapt faster. It still doesn't make it possible for an Isopod to survive from such an enourmous change. One should be rising the animal towards the surface for a very long time and letting it slowly get used to lower pressure and diffrent Ph'd water. Adaptation always takes massive amounts of time, mother fuckers.
