    Are there any active centipedes?

    Chicobolus spinigerus or the ivory millipede is one of the most consistently surface active species of millipede. I highly recommend these if you want surface activity. If you put them in a tank with the ability to climb, they’ll do that too.

    Beginner interested in Millipedes

    I have to agree with @Arthroverts on this one. To separate the terminology here, if you refer to Narceus americanus as a “large” millipede, your selection is widening. However, for the sake of easier communication here, something like Archispirostreptus gigas is more on the “giant” side of...

    Current Millipede Collection

    I agree with @The Odd Pet about the Miami and Ebony morphs of Chicobolus spinigerus, I've wanted the purple ones myself but haven't gotten them! Albino millipedes were a dream of mine while I was growing up, definitely one of the greatest discoveries I've been able to get my hands on in my adult...

    Millipedes not appearing on surface

    New millipedes or even millipedes I’ve owned for quite some time will bury down for long periods of time, molting or not, especially depending on the species. I’m sure they’ll make their way back to the surface!

    Removing isopods from AGB tank?

    There is no way to remove your isopod population without changing the substrate 100%. They are sneaky creatures. I don’t recommend adding more than 20% EcoEarth to your substrate mix. It’s really more of a burrow holder / humidity gauge and base to the rest of the substrate. Think of EcoEarth as...

    Millipede escaped or molting?

    The substrate probably needs to be deeper but I’d bet it’s molting. Do you have a lid on the container normally?

    [Singapore] Would anybody be able to identify this millipede? Thanks

    That’s really awesome. Don’t know the name but I like the white head.

    The Story Behind Your Username

    I started on AB with a gaming name that I created on another website, a realistic alias for a recreation of a real world country but on the internet. I decided that I didn’t want to be hounded by the people from the other website, since there were a lot of them, so I spent the money to change my...

    Conflicting opinions on millipede care!

    “I hear they like humidity” All millipedes need a source of humidity regardless of species. “I hear they can't handle a lot of water in the air and stuff might mold.” Humidity only becomes an issue in my experience with polydesmids (flat millipedes) if condensation builds up on the sides of...

    First field documentary

    I don’t have any scorpions or centipedes, only millipedes, and I live in the United States but the video was quite well done. Keep it up!

    Scarlet vs Bumblebee Millipedes

    Well, out of the two, I would have to say that scarlets are my preference based on their surface activity while at the same time I would say that bumblebees are more aesthetically pleasing in my opinion. However, I like how scarlets look a lot as well. I've just noticed that my scarlets tend to...

    Millipede not eating

    A. gigas require constant access to leaf litter, preferably decaying oak leaves, to molt correctly. Premature deaths aren’t uncommon without the proper nutrition. Coconut fiber is good for humidity and burrowing, but fails to provide much of any nutrients at all to your millipede. I would highly...

    Millipede not eating

    What is your substrate made of? How old is he? Do you provide decaying deciduous leaves on the surface for consumption? Sorry for all of the questions but the answers to these might help clear up any problems.

    Millipede turned BLUE?!

    My theory is that the cracks are the outer layer of her exoskeleton that she’s molting off, it’s just still on her for some reason - possibly related to the presence of isopods in the tank as I said before. I’m sorry to hear they snuck in from the fair substrate, that doesn’t surprise me at all...

    Millipede Collection Specimen Pictures

    Well my family wants me to pump the breaks on any more reptiles, but since millipedes are pretty much self maintaining I still have the green light with those. The key is to buy 15 species at the same time and come in with your dump truck sized millipede order and then whoops it’s too late you...

    Millipede turned BLUE?!

    If there are isopods in the tank I would definitely remove them. Isopods have been documented by a few keepers that I’m familiar with to have chewed on / eaten molting millipedes. I’m not one to fall into myths or anything like the mealworms eating lizards but this has definitely been proven...
