Cubaris spec. "White Side" – tropical ornamental isopod for the terrarium with a dark body and strikingly light sides. This Cubaris species is particularly popular due to its clear light-dark contrast, compact size, and relatively manageable keeping requirements. It is suitable for humid isopod terrarium setups, terrariums, and structured bioactive enclosures.

What makes Cubaris spec. "White Side" special:
– Striking contrast pattern: dark body with light sides and a conspicuous overall appearance
– Compact size: well-suited for structured isopod boxes and smaller terrariums
– Tropical Cubaris species: ideal for warm, humid keeping conditions
– Comparatively easy to keep: often cited as a good entry point for keeping tropical Cubaris

Climate & Setup:
A humic substrate with leaf litter, white-rotted wood, and hiding places like cork or bark has proven effective. A moisture gradient is important: one side or corner remains permanently moist, while the rest of the area is kept only slightly moist to moderately moist. Moss can help maintain stable humidity. Good ventilation is still important. A temperature range of approximately 22–26 °C is considered suitable.

Feeding & Care:
Leaf litter and rotten wood form the basis of their diet. Additionally, fresh food such as zucchini or carrots can be offered regularly. Small amounts of protein and a permanent calcium source like cuttlebone or lime are beneficial. Food remnants should be removed regularly.

Breeding & Development:
Cubaris spec. "White Side" is considered easy to breed and multiplies more reliably than many other Cubaris species under stable conditions. Consistent humidity, appropriate food, calcium, and a structured terrarium setup are crucial for good development.

Who this species is interesting for:
– for keepers looking for a striking tropical ornamental isopod
– for humid terrariums and isopod boxes with a stable microclimate
– for structured terrarium setups with leaf litter, wood, and a clear moist zone
– for isopod keepers who want to start keeping Cubaris species

Suitable Accessories:
For clean feeding and structured keeping, depending on the terrarium setup, an isopod dish, double isopod dish, or a suitable BioFaunaCube are appropriate.
