Cubaris spec. “Mandarin”

Cubaris spec. “Mandarin” – color that immediately stands out

Cubaris spec. “Mandarin” lives up to its name. The animals show a uniform, strong orangewhich is strongly reminiscent of the color of a ripe mandarin and immediately catches the eye. This creates a particularly warm and harmonious overall impression, especially in a terrarium set up close to nature.

The behavior of this species is rather calm and ground-oriented. The animals prefer to stay in the lower part of the terrarium and make intensive use of foliage and hiding places. They pursue their natural activity there and can be observed easily with a little patience.

Foliage plays a dual role here. It not only serves as a hiding place, but also as a important food sourcewhich is eaten regularly and with pleasure. This results in a very natural behavior that can be observed at close range.

For keeping, we recommend a tropical setup. The substrate should be loose, rich in structure and permanently slightly moist. It is important that the substrate never dries out completelybut at the same time there is no waterlogging.

Especially important for this species is a sufficient calcium supply. You should specifically fill the substrate with lime granules and shell grit so that the animals can cover their needs and develop healthily.

The keeping conditions are very similar to those of other Cubaris species. Good ventilation, stable humidity and plenty of hiding places ensure that the animals feel comfortable and display their natural behavior.

Under stable conditions, the group develops reliably. Within a year, you can start with a significant increase which makes it easy to build up the stock.

Due to their intense color, its calm behavior and the clear structure in the attitude is suitable for Cubaris spec. “Mandarin” perfect for owners who are looking for an eye-catching but relaxed style.

With this species you get a piece of tropical elegance in bright orange into your terrarium – discreet in behavior, but absolutely present in appearance.
