Cubaris murina is a showy and very active beginner species. When looking into the terrarium, you can always see animals running around on the substrate. As you can see in the short video, they search the substrate for anything that can be used. The industrious isopods are by no means choosy. Sometimes their rummaging through the upper surface layer is reminiscent of the behavior of wild boars. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Behavior:<\/h2>\n\n

I hardly ever find Philosciidae spec. “Northern Thailand” under an egg carton or under a piece of bark. This is very atypical compared to other isopod species that we usually breed. They run around busily in the box and examine everything that gets in their way. It is therefore not surprising that they are excellent for use as floor police. I can imagine that their carefree nature makes them rather unsuitable for a predator, but perhaps their behavior will change in the event of danger. <\/p>\n\n

Breeding:<\/h2>\n\n

Breeding is fairly simple and fast. I can therefore recommend this species to any beginner. They are also very good for socializing or as a ground police force. The reproduction rate is relatively high and you will quickly have a sizeable group. The development time is about 3-4 months, depending on the temperature and food supply. <\/p>\n\n
