Does any know or is anyone working with the bright green pill bugs from madaascar? I had 6 or 8 before I moved to Arizona and am looking for some again. I left them with a friend in seattle and they killed them off. If anyone has any please let me know. Thanks

Malagasy Pill millipedes or Giant pillbugs

Hello,
You can check with Justyn from Intense herpetoculture in Texas <edit>.
He can keep them alive for up to a year, and he will tell you how.
Mine died after 3 months.
regards

They aren't really an isopod they are a millipede, they are better called madagascan pill millipedes. They are NOT that easy to keep alive, the success rate in captivity hasn't been too great. Your friends in Seattle had about the same success rate as MOST people. If anyone has found the secret to keeping them alive I'm all ears.
