Cubaris sp. "Platin, Tung Song"

Platin, Tung Song (native to Tung Song, Thailand) is one of my favorite Cubaris varieties. They have beautiful subtle patterning with a golden stripe up their back. Because these little buddies are native to the limestone caves of Thailand, they prefer a higher humidity. I give mine pieces of limestone as a calcium supplement and they definitely use it.

This variety tends to stay under their hide and leaf litter, and can be pretty well-camouflaged, so you may not see them much until they're established. The good news is that Platin, Tung Song is faster to reproduce than a lot of types of Cubaris, more on par with slower Armadillidiums.
