Description

Caret Down

Everyone's favorite roly-poly Cubaris murina species but pink in color. Papaya isopods are easy to care for and very docile.  They are a good clean-up crew member in bioactive enclosures.  We provide the isopods cuttlebone, bark, and leaves, and we supplemental feed them carrots, squash, dried fish/shrimp, and flaked fish food.  Great beginner isopod.  Keep murina Papaya the same as other common isopods.  Please see our blog and YouTube channel for care tips and guides. 

Please see shipping details for shipping cost information and live arrival guarantee.

Isopods will be shipped in a container of organic peat moss, sphagnum moss, and organic leaf litter.

A thick layer of leaf litter at all times is the key to a thriving isopod colony.

Skill level:  Beginner isopod

Humidity:  Prefers humid environments

Breeding:  Moderate breeder that breeds easily

Healthy, Active Papayas

I ordered a 20 count of C. murina "Papaya", but only received 13-15. I didn’t bring it up to the seller at the time, so I can’t speak to how they might have handled it. That said, the isopods that did arrive were healthy and active, and packaging was solid. No deaths. I’m sharing this in the spirit of transparency—hoping future orders have more accurate counts, as I’d still consider buying again.
