Just as I woke up this morning, I've found my millipede in this position, he's been very active these past few days, but now he's just like this. He's alive, I've seen him nibble and move his upper legs body, but the rest is just like this, can someone help me please ?

Is it a fully grown male? all i know is they can get old and deteriorate slowly before they die.

Well the shop where I brought him told me he was 1 year old at most, but after talking with an expert, he told me that he was probably WAY older, like 5-6 years old

i am really no millipede expert. i have a group, but i have never seen one do this.

I know from a friend that breeds many sp. by the hundreds that he he picks out the old ones once they are about to die and in my mind this is what that could look like, but i have only ever heard descriptions so don't take it as gospel.

Sorry i could not be of more help.
