Cubaris murina “Papaya” is easy to keep and requires only minimal care. A well-structured terrarium with plenty of hiding places and moist substrate provides it with an ideal home. Make sure that your terrarium is well ventilated to ensure optimum air circulation.
For optimum keeping of Cubaris murina “Papaya”, we recommend a substrate of forest humus, which provides a natural environment for these isopods. Supplement the substrate with a thin layer of leaves, which not only serves as a natural decoration, but also helps to regulate the humidity and provides the isopods with additional living space. A piece of cork bark in the terrarium offers the isopods protection and also serves as a hiding place that supports their natural behaviour. By providing this near-natural environment, you can ensure that your new isopod species feels comfortable and can live out its behaviour in a natural way.
Cubaris murina “Papaya” is not only a practical helper in the terrarium, but also a fascinating pet that will provide you with hours of observation fun. Witness how these colourful isopods wander through your terrarium, cleaning the floor surface as they go. Reproduction is child’s play and you will soon discover little papaya-coloured mini isopods!
