The sex of the nymphs is random. If you want to breed with them, we recommend ordering a group of 10 nymphs.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInformation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCubaris spec. \"Panda King\" lives in tropical regions in Vietnam. Therefore, a humidity of 75-85% must be maintained. To maintain humidity, you can cover the substrate with leaves, moss, bark, or similar.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe organic material in the substrate serves as food, as do supplementary foods such as vegetables, fruits, and isopod food. A large layer of leaves on the substrate is very popular as a food source and hiding place. The species regularly stays on the surface in its adult state and is easily observable. Breeding this species is relatively easy and also forgives one or two breeding errors, making it a good species for beginners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey typically grow to just over 1 cm, but these little rockets are full of activity. The base color is brown. From the 2nd to the 4th segment, the color changes to cream white. The legs and antennae of this species are also entirely cream white. This color constellation gives the isopod the name \"Panda King\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBehavior\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the fascinating characteristics of Panda King Isopods is their remarkable ability to curl into a tight ball when faced with danger, providing them with a natural defense mechanism against predators. They possess the remarkable ability to cleanse soil and water of toxic heavy metals, making them valuable for environmental restoration projects. Panda King Isopods are hermaphrodites, possessing both male and female reproductive organs and the ability to reproduce independently, without a partner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFood\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIsopods are true scavengers. Among other things, they eat dead wood, dead beech and oak leaves, fish food, cucumber, and mushrooms. Cuttlefish bone should certainly not be missing because they have a high need for calcium, which can also be offered in powdered form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEnvironmental requirements\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIsopods cannot climb glass, so a glass container as housing is sufficient. Use cocopeat as a substrate mixed with humus, dead leaves (beech and oak), some pieces of decomposed wood, and bark. The Porcellionides pruinosus \"powder orange\" does not have high environmental demands. Spray 1 part of the enclosure so that they can choose between a drier or more humid spot themselves. The temperature should be between 21 and 25 degrees Celsius.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ant's Kingdom | Mierenboerderij","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57218817818959,"sku":"IPPK","price":3.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/6528\/1359\/files\/2043847899_ff03c8bc-32d4-46c5-b63b-4d7afe22bc0c.jpg?v=1773837576","url":"https:\/\/ants-kingdom-mierenboerderij.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/isopod-cubaris-spec-panda-king","provider":"Ant's Kingdom | Mierenboerderij","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
