Description
The Cubaris “Orange Freezy” isopod features rich orange tones accented by lighter frosted markings that give the species its “Freezy” nickname. Their colorful appearance creates a striking contrast against dark substrate and natural decor.
Like many Cubaris species, Orange Freezys are shy and spend much of their time hidden beneath cork bark, moss, and leaf litter. Given stable humidity, consistent temps, and a secure environment, they establish well and gradually become more confident within the enclosure.
