The pictures provided in that thread you posted seem to indicate that species of Onomeris are tiny and easily overlooked and those pictures didn't reveal much as to what they look like up close to the naked eye. I just don't understand what kind of habitat are these pedes found in and if it's...

So I've been studying up, trying to find all the information I can on Onomeris, a genus of North American pill millipedes. Why? Because I'm interested in obtaining some pill millipedes that I can actually care for, unlike the exotic pill millipedes found outside the United States. I've never had...

I sure hope that thing never bites you.

@mantisfan101 I had to carefully rip apart rotting hardwood many years old to find these pedes. They sometimes live among some sort of carpenter ant species as I seen this myself and I'm not sure if the relationship is beneficial or only beneficial toward the millipede.

@mantisfan101 thanks for letting me know. I need to get me a N. gordanus before Christmas. :l chacha

The second longest North American millipede... I have three of them, all retrieved from the wild. I keep them in 20 gallon aquarium converted into a vivarium. Having a hard time getting these pedes sexed.

Rockcastle County here. I don't chew tobacco but I have a few friends that do. I tried keeping a T from South America and I thought I could replicate its habitat. I failed. But keeping native millipedes is a cinch.

Sorry for causing tension. I was feeling a little... testy.

I bet it would irk you something awful if I experimented a little with hybridization and then let the offspring go free. You must really care a lot about genetic diversity that makes each specie unique. Not everyone feels the same.

IF I ever did such a thing as you mention, I would definitely keep the offspring in their own sealed container with their own label and never release any offspring into the wild. That is, if the offspring were viable. I'm still learning. I guess mucking up gene pools is a bad thing. I should...

Another amazing millipede genus. Extraordinary features and vivid color. They look so much like a centipede in form. Especially the legs. If someone that didn't know jack about millipedes nor centipedes looked at these kinds of millipedes, they might think they were centipedes. Wonder as to why...

I ponder as to why millipedes and ferns don't get along? Millipedes shouldn't be going to a fern for food, surely. I have a marginal wood fern in the same enclosure as my millipedes and it's the only fern in there right now and it's doing less than average as far as growth is concerned. The fern...

The Chicobolus spinigerus you have are unbelievable, love the baby blue, so rare in millipedes. And the dragon millipedes you have are epic and out of this world. You are a legend. The morphology is probably stunning in the entire genus, one would think, given these examples. I suggest...

Today I just so decided to join the pack. I've looked around these forums before so I figured I had nothing to lose if I join. I've owned one tarantula before but it turns out I'm not great at caring for tarantulas or spiders in general, I've also cared for a fence lizard a little while and...

Hey there everyone. I'm Adam from southern Kentucky. Back in July I bought a south American Skeleton Leg tarantula and had it for a month and it seemed to do fine, then it quit eating and because I never had a tarantula before I didn't know how to help the poor fella'. It died because I didn't...
