So I never really though about this before this post, but the Dutch name is actually really fucking weird. They're called "pissebedden" here, which is a combination of "pissen" (to pee) and "bedden" (beds). I read that apparently there was a superstition that they would help against bed wetting of you put them in your bed before sleep. I guess that'd help because it'd be hard to sleep with those buggers crawling around in your bed. What's also weird is that the name isn't literally "bed wetters" because then the words should be reversed like "bedpissers" or something. So it's more like "pissybeds" in English.
Idk what tf they were smoking tbh, but it's the normal word for them and is even used on Wikipedia. Li they're talking about the zoetwaterpissebedden (fresh water pissybed) as if this is a reasonable scientific name.
Yes pissebed... But we say : verkskes ( little piggies) in my dialect.

There's a black variant? Ours are greyish.
There's a bunch of colors. You can buy them at reptile shows. For a moer natural substrate, they eat feces and dried skin from our snakes.
We give them left over veggies and some grass too. We even have one aquarium that only has them in it.
Isopods are good bug pets. They don't climb, well, they don't jump, and they don't stink.
