Papaya Isopods for sale
Papaya Isopods also known as “Little Sea” was isolated in North Dakota and is believed to be a T- Albino morph of “Little Sea”.

These pink isopods are one of the few solid pink isopods within the hobby currently. They can have medium to large size broods. Papaya isopods are a good beginner Cubaris species! They are a very hardy species and easy to care for.
The Papaya isopod makes a great pet for all ages. Our Papaya isopods for sale also make good cleanup crews for pet habitats. Whether you are looking for isopods as pets or more interested in adding them to your pets’ enclusure to aid in cleanup, these little critters are perfect.
Papaya isopods are safe to add to any hard body reptile enclosure. They will not harm or affect the behavior of the animal in anyway. They also will not bite or harm you and are an essential element for creating bioactive environments. They are available in 10 count cups and the majority will be adults with mixed sizes included.
How do I Provide Proper Care?
Proper care is very inexpensive with minimal care requirements. For most cases you can use an air tight plastic container with a locking lid, sized appropriately for the amount of isopods you’re looking to culture. You’ll then need a nice healthy substrate that you’ll want about 2” inches thick inside the plastic container or reptile enclosure. We encourage the use of an ABG mix which has all the proper requirements for culturing isopods.
The isopods will need a place to hide so you’ll want to provide some wood and leaf litter. Cork bark works best for this as they will also eat it over time. You will then need to dedicate about 1/3 of the container or enclosure to what we call the “wet side”. You’ll need to keep damp live sphagnum moss (other live moss also works) there so that the isopods can molt properly. The other 2/3 or the enclosure stays dry.
They need to have very humid environments in order to thrive so make sure your moss stays damp. You’ll need to open the lid to let in fresh oxygen every 2-3 days. You can also add your own holes for additional ventilation if cultures are kept inside containers. Now, you know some information to aid in properly caring for these little critters. Read more aobut isopod care in our aticle covering housing, feeding and breeding.
