Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone here owns Giant PinkFoot Millipedes. If so, could you give me some info about them? I've tried Google but I haven't found much there. Thanks in advance!
Thank youI don’t own one but look on Josh’s frogs. N. Americanas is from eastern US. Have a sorta humid setup with a 5 inch substrate. For the rest, follow basic millipede care and adjust for size and habitat.
No, I haven't caught or bought one. I'm just trying to learn more about them.Also did you catch it and was wondering the care or did you buy without knowing
Thanks!Narceus americanus (aka Giant Pinkfoot, American Giant Millipede, and probably ten other common names) is probably the most famous large American species, usually reaching about four inches. Their color patterns can vary broadly geographically, and so you have many options when buying online. Same general care as all other millipedes, though they like a healthy portion of deciduous leaves and moister habitats. For more detailed info I suggest searching the latin name, as this will give you lots of good articles and salespeople.
Thank you!Don't search google, use the board's search function with the scientific name. Should give you plenty of results. That said care is pretty standard. Moist substrate (not swampy), decaying hardwood/leaves, supplemental foods, etc.
This is a good thread on substrate: https://arachnoboards.com/threads/my-very-fussy-millipede-substrate.302303/#post-3023350
