First off, let's start with Cubaris sp. "White Ducky". These beauties are a distinctly different species than sp. "Rubber Ducky" or "Blonde Ducky", definitely a flatter species of "Cubaris". I really love the contrasting color on these, along with the copper-ish lines going down the middle of their backs. Care on this species is supposedly the same as for other Cubaris spp., good airflow, relatively high humidity (but not too wet either), and lots of hides (this species does not burrow much).
I have mine in a well ventilated container with half an inch of used coco fiber and spent Panesthiinae substrate mixed together, topped with leaf litter, Macropanesthia frass and a bit of moss. They have cardboard and bark hides, and I'm keeping them humid, at around 75F. I'll be offering them dog food, and dead inverts as supplemental food.
Here are some pictures of these beauties:
Hopefully these will breed well for me, fingers crossed! 🤞
Next up: Cubaris sp. "Red Edge Albino". This is the Albino morph of C.sp. "Red Edge", and man do they look cool, they even have reddish brown eyes like the red eyes of true albino vertebrates! This species is also fairly large compared to the other Cubaris spp. I have, quite active and long legged too!
I have mine in a well ventilated container with half an inch of used coco fiber/sand (old Teneb substrate) and spent Panesthiinae substrate mixed together, topped with leaf litter, Macropanesthia frass and a bit of moss. They have bark pieces for hides, and I'm keeping them humid, at around 75F. I'll be offering them dog food, and dead inverts as supplemental food.
Here are some pics of them:
Most of these pics are kinda "meh", not only are these guys super active and don't like staying still, but their exoskeleton is also a weird matte texture that my camera didn't want to focus on. 😅
In any case, hopefully they'll breed well for me, I'm pretty sure one or two of the females in this group are already gravid!
Lastly, Ty sent me some Nesodillo arcangelii "Yeti". Now these are the "White Out" form of N.arcangelii, I believe the proper term is "super leucistic" (don't quote me on that though), not only is the body white but the eyes are white too. Oddly, I can't seem to find any info on their origins, whether they were isolated from aberrant individuals in the "Shiro Usturi" strain, the "Silver Ghost" strain, or if they were collected straight from the wild like this. Wherever they came from, they're VERY pretty, and I'm happy to have them in my collection now!

Such a pretty morph, hopefully these breed as well for me as my "Shiro Usturi" have, those are popping off right now! 😄
Anyways, that's gonna do it for this post, big thanks to Ty for all these beautiful isopods, please show him some love and check out his website Ty Dye Exotics for great deals on a variety of inverts and other exotics! Well, thanks for reading, hope everyone enjoyed, stay safe, and I'll see y'all next time! 😉
