lyle - you say that people use pill bugs in their terraria to help break down organic matter and consume mites. for some reason, i think i remember reading somewhere that pill bugs are toxic, otherwise i probably would have attempted using them as a feeder or at least a recycler in some of my terraria. do you know anything about this as far as native north american pill bugs are concerned? i'd like to try them in at least one of my setups if you guys really think they're safe.
