Cubaris murina or "Little Sea" isopods, are a great introduction into the larger Cubaris group (where some specialty morphs can go for $50+ per isopod). These are are great way to begin working with Cubaris isopods to ensure that you have a good handle on husbandry and housing before making any significant bug purchases. Hardy, friendly, and just as adorable as their more famous cousins (like rubber duckies and panda kings), Little Seas have the same signature helmeted/armored look, without the bank vault price tag.

Cubaris murina - Little Sea

Difficulty: Intermediate

Size: .62 inches.

Housing: Plastic storage bin or glass terrarium

Food Preferences: freeze dried shrimp, vegetables, dried leaves, wood, grasses, and decaying matter, Reptanicals Isopod Feast , provide cuttlebone and limestone for calcium

Temp Requirements: approx. 65 Degrees to 85 Degrees. Extreme cold and heat can be lethal

Breeding: Once established they will be moderate to prolific breeders

Substrate: Coconut coir, peat moss, or Reptanicals Bug Bedding, Reptanicals Super Substrate, slightly moist with a layer of leaf litter. This is a large species so be sure substrate is 3-4 inches deep

Humidity: slightly humid, mist one side of enclosure to create a moisture gradient. Keep moss in the moist side of enclosure to help maintain humidity, but be careful to provide plenty of ventilation. Species will migrate between most and dry areas as necessary.     

Supplements: Reptanicals Oyster Shell for calcium, or Reptanicals 5-in-1 Calcium Supplement: a great mix of natural calcium sources for isopods (especially exotic species), all derived from the same calcium sources they would encounter in the wild such as limestone, granite and coral. Reptanicals Shredded Shrimp, a tasty treat to offer for additional protein.

Hides: Cork bark, lotus pods, coconut halves, cholla cactus skeletons and egg carton all make excellent hiding and climbing spaces for the isopods. Adding multiple hides to your enclosure offers ample room for juveniles and adults, and also provides your isopods a more enriching environment.

Enrichment:  offer various types of mosses (pillow, sheet) to serve as both snacks and hiding spaces, hides (like those above) and climbing areas. Add a variety of enclosure decor with different textures to provide a more realistic and inviting environment for your isopods.   

 ******

Isopods are gaining popularity in the reptile industry for a number of very good reasons. They are natures' janitorial crews! Add them to your home enclosure to create a Bio-Active ecosystem like nature intended. Isopods reduce mold, feces, decaying matter, and improve substrate health! All while providing a calcium rich, nutritious snack for your critters to enjoy any time they wish.

  Why do we ship juveniles and not adult isopods? By shipping juveniles (not tiny mancae) of breeding age, it ensures that our customers receive the entire breeding life of the isopods. Elder adult isopods often produce smaller broods, or have stopped breeding entirely. They also have an indeterminate lifespan as there is no way to gauge exactly how old they are, and may perish shortly after arrival due to the stresses of shipping, or old age. By shipping juveniles, we can guarantee our customers a full lifespan and lots of future isopod generations!

Enclosure larger than 10 gallons? If you're looking to breed these isopods outside of a vivarium, we'd recommend keeping them in one of our Reptanicals Isopod Breeder Kit for easy care and to ensure the health of your isopods. Our kits come complete with Bug Bedding substrate, leaf litter, a lotus pod hide, calcium, moss, and a sample of our Isopod Feast - everything you need to culture with success!

    

Our Isopods are fed a mix of organic vegetables and mushrooms twice weekly in addition to our own Reptanicals Isopod Feast. They are kept on Reptanicals Bug Bedding, sprinkled with leaf litter. We include moist sphagnum moss to help maintain humidity, provide cuttlebone for calcium and cork hides for enrichment.
