Borneo Isopods for Sale (Cubaris sp.)
Most Cubaris bolt for cover the second you lift the bark. Borneos? They'll usually just look back at you.
These medium-sized pods don't spook as easily as other Cubaris species, which means you actually get to see them (a rare treat in the Cubaris world). Give them a humid home and plenty of leaf litter, and they'll get right to work.
HPI Preferred Habitat Targets: 72–78°F; supporting relative humidity around 80–90%; maintain a moisture-heavy enclosure with little to no truly dry substrate, while still keeping the soil aerated and free of standing water. Use low-to-moderate adjustable ventilation and avoid both complete drying and oversaturation. Recommended substrate depth 2-3"+.
Diet: As with most isopod species, their main diet should be lots of leaf litter, decaying wood and a calcium supply. Try supplementing with fresh organic veggies and protein.
Reproduction: High reproduction rates
Perfect For: Keepers who want a Cubaris they'll actually see, humid bioactive enclosures, and display terrariums.
Ordering: Priced per isopod, with a minimum of 3 per species. Starting a new colony? We recommend 6–20 (see How Many Isopods Should I Get?). Bulk discounts apply automatically.
