I have about 20-30 9 month old Narceus americanus, and I know that at least one of them is male. Ive googled how long before they mature, but I csnt find an exact answer. Most results say after 1-2 years, but talked broadly about most millipedes. How long do you guys wait to seperate them?
And if you have experience selling pedes, please tell me the process because I dont plan on keeping all these guys, but I want them to go to a good home

I don't know anything about these but got curious so went to look everything I saw just kept them all together but I assume if you want to sell or trade them you can seperate them when ever you want.

Youtube has alot of vids on them.

No I dont really wanna get into the trading business, not yet anyways. When I first bought them I was under the impression that they were all female, and I wasnt planning on breeding them. Now I just have far more millipedes than I would like lol, and im just looking for advice on how to go about rehoming them. I also want to prevent any more babies from popping up, but I need to know when they sexually mature so I dont keep them in there together too long.

Ah I get it now. The only person I can think of in this situation is Russ from Aquiriumax pets, he has his own website/shop/youtube channel but he has been dealing with these for years and may be able to help you, try getting intouch with him or even watching his vids may help his info is second to non. I am sorry I can't help more then that but my house is spiders these are totally new to me.

But you don’t intend to sell any?
I was responding to a comment that suggested I keep them together to breed with intent to sell or trade. I was explaining that I just want to sell these ones because I wasnt expecting to have a surplus of millipedes lol
