Red Edge Isopods for Sale (Cubaris sp.)
Also known as "Red Skirt," because apparently isopods have a fashion scene now.
Red Edges are a Cubaris with a serious soft spot for pumpkin and sweet potato. Once established, they tend to breed readily, just with smaller broods than some of their cousins.
HPI Preferred Habitat Targets: 72–79°F; supporting relative humidity around 75–85%; maintain a clear moisture gradient with a consistently damp side and a smaller, slightly drier side under leaf litter. Use moderate ventilation and avoid sealed, soggy conditions. Recommended substrate depth 2-3"+.
Diet: As with most isopod species, their main diet should be lots of leaf litter, decaying wood and a calcium supply. Supplement with organic fresh veggies, pumpkin, sweet potato & protein.
Reproduction: Once established they tend to readily breed (smaller broods).
Perfect For: Cubaris collectors, humid bioactive enclosures, and anyone with leftover pumpkin after Halloween.
Ordering: Priced per isopod, with a minimum of 3 per species. Starting a new colony? We recommend 6–20 (see How Many Isopods Should I Get?). Bulk discounts apply automatically.
