CARE NOTES
Keeping considerations
🐼⚪ Cubaris sp. "Panda King White" | The Ghost of the Jungle The "Panda King White" is a high-end, leucistic-leaning color morph of the original Panda King. While the standard version is famous for its "panda" markings, the White morph has been selectively bred to minimize the dark pigments. The result is a stunning, ghostly isopod that appears almost entirely snowy-white or translucent-cream, often retaining just a faint, "shadowy" hint of the original mask. 🧬
