I've had a pair for a little over a year now and they have produced offspring. My female was purchased through Ward's Science and I believe is captive bred, but my male was a wild caught and still has his mites. There are easily a couple dozen offspring all around 1-2 inches. I think I've been...

You can buy leaf litter from here and you can buy wood and substrate from here. Or you can make your own, it's relatively simple. Heating is probably unnecessary or harmful, unless you live somewhere really really cold. I lost one of my first millipedes to desiccation from a heat source...
