I have been playing with the thought of getting an African Giant Millipede, but i’ve been having a hard time finding out what the ideal size of their enclosure should be? I’ve seen people say everything from 10 gallons to 40 gallons. I would like to know the minimum and also what they would have it the best in. Also i can’t seem to find if they can live alone, and what would be the ideal amount of millipedes to keep together? Thanks

What’s the size of your milipede?

Archispirostreptus gigas / G A Millipede can grow up to 12 inches or 30 cm.
So eventually a large enclosure will be needed as they grow into it.
Different sized enclosures along the way to adulthood.
