Cubaris murina “Papaya”

$20 for a 10count starter colony

Papaya isopods are a vibrant color morph of Cubaris murina, known for their soft peach to papaya orange coloration that really pops against dark substrate. They are a small to medium dwarf Cubaris, making them perfect for bioactive terrariums where you want visual appeal without a large, bulky isopod.

These isopods are:\

• Hardy and beginner friendly compared to many other Cubaris\
• Fast to establish once settled, with steady reproduction\
• Excellent cleanup crew, feeding on leaf litter, decaying wood, and leftover food\
• Low disturbance and tend to stay surface-active under proper humidity

Care basics (quick sell points):\

• Moderate high humidity with a moisture gradient\
• Plenty of leaf litter and rotting hardwood\
• Calcium source recommended for strong molts\
• Ideal for tropical and subtropical bioactive setups
