With a little pampering and a variety of foods, these sweet little isopods establish themselves quickly and breed very well!
We're very picky with our main colony & regularly remove paler specimens, as well as the odd grey-ish one that pops up, (we've gotten 1 grey one for every 1000+ pink ones) and this has helped keep ours this amazing pink colour.
Though they make lovely little pets, they're equally skilled cleaners that work great in bioactive setups!
We currently have Cubaris murina "papaya" in a couple different enclosures, including our Mourning Gecko terrariums.. some do get munched on, but there's a fair number of them around and they do a great job removing waste.
Our Papaya breeding stock (and a number of our other isopods) were imported directly from the creator of this beautiful morph, Smug Bug, in the USA.
