Every culture is raised in-house in Cornwall. We only list a species once its colony is thriving and breeding well, so what arrives at your door is strong and healthy.
Rich natural substrate, leaf litter, cork bark and moss: as close to the forest floor as a tub gets.
Every line is tracked by species and locality name, so you know exactly what you're getting.
Insulated packaging and next-day courier, sent only when the weather is safe.
Every culture is sold out while our colonies build up. First batches are coming soon. Tap any species for its data sheet.
Isopods turn a terrarium into a living, self-cleaning ecosystem. They eat waste, shed skin, mould and leftover food, and keep your substrate healthy for years.
The basics we use for our own cultures.
A plastic tub with small ventilation holes is perfect. Cubaris like stable conditions more than space.
Deep, organic and full of food. They eat their bedding, so make it rich.
Most Cubaris want a moisture gradient: one side damp, one side drier, so they can choose.
Leaf litter and rotting wood do most of the work. Extras help colonies boom.

As each colony grows big enough to split without stressing it. Keep an eye on our Instagram and TikTok for release news.
