Cubaris sp. 'Pak Chong'

Locale: Caves of Thailand, in the Pak Chong Provence
Reproductive Rate: Slow
Growth Rate: Moderate
Adult Size:  .7"
Difficulty: Intermediate

 

From the Armadillidae family. A rare isopod identified by its dark body with a white skirt, and a red-to-orange face and tail. They resemble the Rubber Ducky species, in that their heads resemble a duckling's bill and face. 

Prefer a climate that mimics the caves in Thailand; humid, warmer temperatures (65* - 76*) and a mostly damp substrate (not wet).

Not sexually dimorphic.

AKA "Pillbug", thus rolls into a ball ("arma") to retain moisture when the habitat is too dry, as well as a defensive posture.

 

Captive bred. Colonies include various sizes/ages.
