- Are they breeding? Did we lose them all!?!?
An update on our Rubber Ducky Isopods, and more.
Check out how our Cubaris rubber duckies are doing. Also, we'll do an update on our Cubaris Panda King isopods and Cubaris Pak Chong isopods.
Rubber ducky isopods are the cutest isopods out there. Not only are they rare and difficult to keep, they are sometime hard to find when trying to obtain them. However, it's all worth while as they have the cutest faces!!!

Looks like the rubber duckies are living in a spring tail master culture haha 😅
They are!
Cubaris is my favorite genus of isopods. I absolutely love them.
How many different ones are you keeping?
Rubber ducky baby awe
It's so hard to get them on video. I'll open there enclosure and see 10-15, then do a video for the channel and see ONE!
I was just thinking about Rubber Duckies then the video appeared lol
It's magic!
I love the mug
I do too Andrew. Thanks
I have these three species and more!
Congrats.
Look at those Panda babies!! So cute!
They really are. As you know
Great video
Thank you TC
It's sad when you spill some coffee 😢
Made me cry like a baby. Then I walked over and got another cup full :)
Awesome update love the close ups! Glad you like the mug... SPREADSHEETS!
I shouldn't have used the mug until this video came out. I had it all recorded but didn't publish it like I wanted to last week. Thank you again Bob.
@@SupremeGecko Glad you like it, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR KNOWLEDGE!!!
I love bloopers!!!
Sometimes I feel like the bloopers are just me flubbing words :) Wish I would have caught the "Coffee Spill" incident on video.
Great video Wally. Hope the colonies thrive.
Thank you very much. The Panda Kings are really going. The Pak Chong are ok. The Rubber Duckies are good.... you just never see them that much.
I love when you do isopod videos
Thanks. I try to schedule gecko tuesdays and isopods fridays
The panda kings are doing great
Fantastic!
Love Cubaris.
What species are you keeping?
Cute little isopod but I like Punta Cana more.
I do too!!!
I love the Punta Cana but sometimes one color seems to dominate the others over time so I usually need to buy more colored individuals it’s usually the orange individuals that dominate the cultures
Awesome Cubaris and Mug! Loved the video!
Thanks FDT
Looks like your springtail colonies are thriving, but I thought this video was for your Cubaris species. Joking, good video!
Thanks. :) Believe me.... I thought the same think. The duckies are so hard to record as 90 % are under the surface.
That is a nice mug wally
Thanks
I would love to be able to keep those types of isopods one day they are way cool
They are a bit difficult but some people can and some cannot. Mine are ok but not thriving.
They are so cute
Thanks
I have duckies, pak Chong, pandas, shiro utsuri, platin, Jupiter, penguins, blue pigeons. The oldest colonies I have are 5 months old but have babies everywhere except pak Chong (only 3 left alive :( and probably same sex I guess) and Jupiter (got them last week). I think I was extremely lucky with cubaris so far, thinking about adding few more pak chongs to give them chance in the future. Have also bolivaris, they are also stunning and more than alive 👌🤞
Congrats Anna. You are certainly doing better than me on the Cubaris! Way to go!
Wally was never seen again the only thing found of his was a Mug and trace amounts of coffee!
:)
@@SupremeGecko Nanette we know you’re pretending to be Wally Now tell us what you did to him!
@@frankdughtank8327 No, really. It's him.... I MEAN ME!
Brilliant video!
My Pandas are doing really well. Compared to my Duckys who breed really slowly... I did learn not to keep looking at them and to just leave them alone.
I love all the Cubaris species but must say I like the look of the Jupiters and one day will get them 😊
Good to hear your pandas are off and running. I love the Jupiters too.
I've never kept pandas but I know they are super breeders
I have Borneo’s, Murinas, papayas and pandas. I haven’t had a ton of mancae in any of them but no die off either. I did just find some mancae in the papaya bin so that was pretty cool.
I bet the borneos and murina are going (just under the surface).
@@SupremeGecko I think you’re probably right! I don’t want to mess with them too much. I hope the same thing is happening in the panda bin 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
You probably have a lot more ducky’s and pandas than you think. They like to burrow into the dirt. There’s other species of cubaris that don’t burrow, like white ducky’s. I started with cubaris and love them.
Absolutely know that. Because they burrow, I'm not a big fan (just my preference). Still prefer active isopods and especially the giant spanish. But with difference like this, that's what makes it fun.
I just got duckies and murinas today, they’re my first cubaris species. I’m hoping that I can do well with them. They sure are cute, though, I always thought duckies were kinda overhyped until I saw them in person, but now I get it
They ARE cute. But, be prepared to not see them for a while as they hide in the substrate. Congratulations!
goodbye..........death by coffee
:) bye bye now
@@SupremeGecko you survived? Congratulations! I would not have
@@lastchance848 Yes... he survived. I mean I survived. Me Wally (this is NOT Nanette!) Wally is not sleeping in the doghouse for the next week!
Haha good luck buddy, just give some extra love it’ll be ok.
Just got my Cubaris sp. cappuccino from eBay 3/6 survived. Hope I have ones that can breed.
Congrats on the cappuccino. Lovely!!!!
@@SupremeGecko thanks 😊
Wow so many springtails! How do you have so many? Maybe it’s too many and they stress/compete with the cubaris a bit?
Just feed well, I guess. Maybe. I've thought about that but the rubber duckies are basically sub-terrestrial most of the time so not bothered by the STs.
I love the cubers species I only have 2 species are the moment but its just the beginning and I will keep you posted how it goes for me with keeping them
Fingers crossed
I just got some zebras and cubaris murina a couple of weeks ago and I have some babies in both of my colonies! I'm really hoping I can keep them going. I must've gotten lucky and got moms or something in both of my cultures.
Congratulations. Did you order form Supreme Gecko?
Wally go sing I'm in the mood for love to your rubber ducky pods.😅👍
I've been doing that! That's why they are not breeding. All their little lets are over their ears!!!!
@@SupremeGecko Lol Wally.
I need to know if Nanette found out that you spilled your coffee and how she reacted. Great video
Shhhhhhhhhhhh!
I would love some pet isopods. I adored Rollie-pollies as a kid but was never allowed to keep any due to my mother being grossed out by ‘bugs’. I would love to have an interesting colony of a species that doesn’t naturally inhabit my country, Canada. I especially love the armadillidium (spelling?) types that roll up into balls. They’re so cute when they do that! I’d like a type that are large enough to easily see and photograph, and maybe even handle carefully once in a while. Can you recommend a particular type?
I certainly can- Armadillidium Punta Cana or A. Golden Slano for a larger one. Armadillidium klugii (Clowns) are very popular. Make sure you check out the breeder list on our store page for Canadian breeders.
Build up that coffee cup collection:)
I have 4 favorites so far. Our Keeshound cup is still up there too. But, that Orange Koi one is wonderful.
Hello great video information and update Wally
Thank you Moon.
I keep murina, duckies, and pandas. Love my pandas. What species of spring tails you have in your bins?
Just the most common.
I would love to have a cu bubais. I may soon.
THAT would be an interesting isopod
@@SupremeGecko lol so funny. Cubaris. 😅
@@barbhelle5481 :) I hope you find some Cubaris ;)
Spreadsheets!!!!
Spreadsheets!!!!
I just got my duckies, so it'll be a while to see any results, but I saw a video my Isobell Cottage who added bat guano to their substrate with success. I may do the same.
Best of luck and let me know.
I had issues with Cubaris when I first tried them, I slowly over about a year lost all of the colony. I tried again at the beginning of 2020 after I was able to find info about them needing lime in their soil. Now I have panda’s, Duckie’s, Little Sea and just started Shiro Utsuri. The three older cultures are doing great with numerous Marcia.
This is great news!!!! Glad you stuck with it. Many people don't try again.
They are slow producing for sure
For you too?
I’m telling Nanette
You and 8,000 other subscribers.... get in line. ;)
Anyone else wondering if Wally is still alive after Nanette got home? Could this be his last video? Tune in to find out….
By the way, I wanna see a Rubber Ducky in person so I can say awwwwww and be jealous
Oh and you need more springtails….
Riiiiiiight
Anytime!
Which of the Armadillidium or Cuberis don’t mind being visible? I love my Klugii but they always run for cover. Looking for something colorful but also braver. I want to see them in the enclosure.
They will All run for cover.
So I just started the USDA permits for isopods and just learned I can't have rubber duckies...or is ok as a pet as long as they dont get commercialized?
Hi! Congratulations for starting this wonderful hobby. I couldn't answer this question adequately here, but if you watch our LIVE with Carlos Blanco from APHIS a week ago, you will find your answer and MUCH more.
@@SupremeGecko i'm not finding that video, could you drop a link for me please.
What are you feeding your Ducky?
Supreme Isopod Chow, veggies, flake food, dried crested gecko diet, dried fish/shrimp.
I want isapods but don't have a reason to get any. Lol.
Reason = you want them. :)
@@SupremeGecko right.
You absolutely need isopods they’re amazing to have and watch Many Many Many types and colors to choose from
Cant afford to buy them
Sorry to hear. Yes, they are still up there in $$
