Cubaris spec. “Panda King”

Brief description:

The base color is brown. From the 2nd segment to the 4th segment, the color changes to creamy white. The legs and antennae of this species are also completely creamy white. This color constellation gives the Isopod the name “Panda King”.

Cubaris spec. “Panda King” lives in tropical areas in Vietnam. Therefore, a humidity of 75-85% should be maintained. To maintain the humidity, the substrate can be covered with leaves, moss, bark or similar. With Cubaris spec. “Panda King” you can do without chimney ventilation or generally large-scale ventilation.

The organic material contained in the substrate is used as food, as well as additional food such as vegetables, fruit and isopod food. A large layer of leaves on the substrate is often used as a feeding and hiding place. The species regularly spends time on the surface in its adult state and can be easily observed. Breeding this species is relatively easy and it is forgiving of the occasional husbandry mistake, which makes it a good starter species.
