New to the world of Millipedes! N. Gordanus

[lownrg]

Hello all! After wanting to own a large millipede species for so long, I finally purchased a couple of Narceus Gordanus or "Smokey Oak" millipedes. I'm very excited about them and will be doing tons of reading on these forums!

They're awesome! I have a couple of those little guys too, which I got recently. They are fun to watch, and such great little pets to have! I hope you enjoy yours!

They have a nasty habit of burrowing in the substrate most if the time Other than that, really hardy and cool critters! Love the smokey variety. Congratulations! Highly recommend the ivory/ebony millipedes as well.

Welcome back @SDCPs ! I agree; the gordanus are rarely out. Ivory are great for new pets.

Thanks for the replies! After hanging out at my local reptile/invert shop and chatting with employees, I've now been set up with a male & female pair of Ivories as well. So here I am, brand new owner 4 millipedes / 2 species and very happy with it. I think I'm already addicted LOL. But I'll learn from these 4 before I start hoarding multiple species.
