I have male and female African Giant Black Millipedes in a 30 gallon Wal-Mart tub. In May I saw the male transfer a sperm packet to the female. The female spent alot of time burrowing late May, early June.
Today I lifted up the food dish to put fresh food in, and there were four tiny AGB millipede babies, the first babies I have seen. They were tiny, maybe 0.5 cm. I looked only at the surface of the tank and they were the only ones I could see. I bet there are tons in the 8" substrate. Judging from their micro size, its going to be a while before they reach adulthood. Anyone know how long?
