I have a few of these lovely millipedes and am really keen on keeping them.

Being a polydesmid I would assume it feeds on some sort of rotting wood (though I suspect some species feed on rotting leaves and fungus more than we currently realize). What was the habitat you found it in like?

Thanks,

They were found in subterranean conditions in a damp mixed forest.
Hmm. I would personally try to mimic that environment as well as you can then, since there isn't really any other information on keeping them it seems.

Thanks,
