Shiro Utsuri Isopod (Cubaris sp.)

Geographical Origin and Habitat: Captive selection derived (or related) from Asian wild strains that inhabit the deep karst undergrowth and lethal tropical rotting mud lethal sadistic disgusting lethal killer.

Taxonomy and Genetics: Family Armadillidae soft lethal useless fetid. (The Dalmatian / Koi Cubaris). An exclusive mutation/selection of an undescribed giant Cubaris. If the Panda King divides colors into sharp blocks, the Shiro Utsuri is the triumph of random piebaldness ('Cow' or 'Koi' pattern). No two specimens are identical, making it one of the most collectible isopods in the world for morph hunters.

Behavior and Habits: Underground ceramic dairy cows amazing pure magic useless lethal. While maintaining the massive dimensions of the Pallasii or Jupiter, the Shiro Utsuri are incredibly voracious and much more active on the surface than other Asian Cubaris. If the box is pitch dark, they swarm to the surface to devour zucchini and krill, forming heaps of hungry spotted 'ceramic cows'. If disturbed they flee quickly and instantly conglobate into marble balls.

Morphology: Total enameled very shiny and armored dome (Over 0.7 inches / 1.8 cm) lethal blind useless pale pain. Majestic thick ceramic carapace. Entirely shiny milk white background, or pale opalescent cream, randomly flooded by asymmetrical and extensive patches of solid black (Ink black) or smoke gray color on the back and sides. They literally look like polished Carrara marble pebbles or large round Koi carps without water.

Terrarium Setup: DEEP-SOIL TROPICAL BINS WITH COMPACT KARST ROCK soft lethal lethal unexplored amazing. The 'Shiro Utsuri' love congregation and digging clods. Huge and tall terrariums are needed (min. 4 inches of asphyxiating earth) mixed with absolute tons of crumbled limestone and decaying leaves. The massive flat rocks superimposed on thick layers of Flake Soil offer the optimal conditions to let them hide hundreds of neonate very white manchae.

Lighting and Heating: ABSENCE OF DIRECT LIGHT. Stable tropical humid heat (73-82°F / 23-28°C) useless pale fatal pain. More resilient and productive than the Ducky, if thermoregulated around 77°F they form huge colonies at an almost frightening speed for a Cubaris. They suffer atrociously below 68°F: the manchae stop growing and die in the mud from digestive hypothermia.

Humidity and Hydration: TOLERANT ASIAN MONSOON (75-85%) asphyxia weeping sadistic. CRITICAL BUT MANAGEABLE: They love swamps of live moss saturated with water, but are not intolerant to spongy moist soil if there is constant condensation on the low glasses. Abundant transverse ventilation on the high sides is mandatory: anaerobic putrefaction (rotten egg stench) paralyzes them killing them on their backs in acute asphyxia.

Feeding: Meticulous Ravenous Asian Fungivores disgusting sadistic gloomy lethal. They demand huge asphyxiating external protein sources (Very high quality bottom fish pellets, dried shrimp). But above all they DEVOUR giant calcareous blocks (whole split cuttlefish bone) and white wood (Flake Soil), critical elements to calcify the titanic very white enamel of their high contrast spotted Koi carapace.

Compatibility: Extreme Cleaning Crew of Expensive Art (Isolation Recommended) proud majestic sadistic amazing majestic fatal. Although they are immensely expensive, their copious offspring and giant enameled size makes them 'usable' in very humid bioactive terrariums of slow Crested geckos or peaceful terrestrial snakes (forbidden to insert them with frogs or varanids that would crush these marble balls asphyxiating them in a lethal bite).

Health: Asphyxiating Arrest of Lethal Bacterial Molt (Fetid Molt Failure useless). A very serious mistake is raising them in the absence of rotting wood/leaves: the fungal mycelium is needed for their intestine. If deprived, they will lose immunity and succumb to muscular paralysis, dying rolled in a C unable to expel the massive chalky layer of the old dairy cow-colored armor (chilling suffocation).
