Hello Omar,

Damn those are some big ones you got. Here is a link for a good article on how to trap them to get them out.

Lol now that you mention it, it is a pic from the same site I linked. No wonder it looked so familiar!

Keep on keeping on Omar, I'm hope you will them out eventually. Have you tried the stinky water technique along with the jar technique? :beer: On a side note, I don't know if you want to be thanking me for saying you have big isopods!

The isopods pictured look like Aegidae, try Rocinela.
