Had them for 8 and a half months now, and at some point I thought they were a lost cause since I never saw any of the adults. Even when I looked for them. Nada. Niente. About a month ago I thought I saw a baby but decided I was delusional. Now I've already seen a few of them out and about and today I managed to get a nice family picture! I didn't even see the upper baby until it rolled itself up and I had a slight heart attack. They are sooo cute and I'm super happy that they're apparently thriving.

I never see more than 2 or 3 babies at once - the contrast to my P. scaber who had an absolute baby boom is wild.

Now comes the long waiting until they're old enough to really make the population take off...

Found a bunch of very small and super fast isos in a very wet spot of my yard. One of them has a very striking color whereas the others are all dark red/brownish color and very shiny.

On pics 2 (top middle) and 3-4 (bottom left) you can see one of the more regular colored ones alongside the colorful one. Apologies for the bad pictures, it was running around. Pic 5 has a closeup of another one of the dark ones.

First I thought that these were the same species and that the red striped one was just a cool morph. After some research, I think it might be either Androniscus dentiger or roseus, both of which are found in Switzerland. In that case however I am quite puzzled as to why I only found one in their 'typical' color and a bunch of super dark ones. Or are the dark ones something completely different?

Would appreciate some insight!

Edit: Might trichoniscus pusillus also be an option?
