Red Pak Chong takes its name from the Pak Chong district of Thailand, a region known for several sought-after Cubaris forms. This red form shows warm red-to-rust tones across a rounded shell. It rolls into a ball, likes warm and humid conditions with good airflow, and breeds at a slow-to-moderate pace typical of rare Cubaris.
Premium collection: these are slower-breeding, collector-grade species. Cultures are limited and shipped as a mixed-age group of 6 or more, which gives you the best chance of both sexes and a breeding start. Keep them in a stable, shaded room, below 28°C.
Moist coco peat with leaf litter, rotting hardwood, moss and cork bark, plus a drier zone and cross-ventilation. Feed leaf litter, rotting wood, carotene-rich vegetables and protein twice a week. Keep cuttlebone available.

- A printed care card with the species' temperature, humidity and feeding notes
Shipping & Live-Arrival Guarantee
We ship Monday to Wednesday only, so your isopods never sit in a courier hub over the weekend. During peak summer (April to June) we may hold orders for a cooler shipping window and will message you on WhatsApp before dispatch. Every order is covered by our live-arrival guarantee: if any isopods arrive dead, send an unboxing video within 2 hours of delivery and we will replace them or refund you for those pieces.
Acclimation Tips on Arrival
- Open the box as soon as it arrives and keep it out of direct sun.
- Gently tip the moss and isopods into their enclosure; do not pick them out one by one.
- Mist one corner, offer leaf litter and a small piece of vegetable, and leave them undisturbed for 48 hours.
- Some stress losses in the first week are normal for any live shipment; a stable, lightly humid setup keeps them to a minimum.
