I currently have
african giant black (A. gigas)
bumblebee (Anadenobolus monilicornis)
african fire millipedes (guessing same species as ghana red banded)

I only have a few of each species, looking to get more african blacks, since I only have two females, and both are at 6 inches long still. I have plans to acquire other species in the future, but it'll be a long time before anything happens with the current lot I keep.

I saw the Florida ivories in that other thread and never realized they were so beautiful, so I may grab a group of them next.

Still very much a beginner, so yeah. I've searched desperately for madagascar fires for a year or so now, and haven't seen them around lately. I had one many years back and it was a stunning millipede, would LOVE to work with them.

Hey everyone. I'm not sure if anyone reads this thread anymore, but regardless, I am desperately looking to adopt or buy a few african blacks. the more the merrier. They would be right at home in the terrarium I am creating.
Please don't hesitate to email if you are looking to rehome.
Thanks for your time!

Since the ban on importing these guys, they've gotten harder to find, and are gone as soon as they hit the market. You can post a WTB thread on the classifieds, or do a search and see who's had them for sale recently- be almost funny to see if anyone's started a 'waiting list' for AGB pedelings. G'luck!

I could be wrong (i've only been trolling these forums for a few months, and just got my first pedes), but i THINK the Ghana Red Banded may be being sold under the name of African Fire Millipede as well- if they are not the same species, they are very similar.

Are they O. ornatus? I had someone chastise me for calling them that, but I haven't found anything else known to area that fits the bill. Anyway, apparently there are different color morphs of O. ornatus. (correct me if wrong) Which could account for the mistaken I.D. Or is it me? :)

I have Florida Ivories, who decided to have little babies. I don't know much about keeping the babies alive so if anyone has suggestions, let me know!

good

Good. I was really confused, but left it alone, cause it's not a huge deal to me what they are. He could have called them the boring common millipede and I wouldn't care. They are cool. Another wonder of life living in my house. :)
But it is nice to know, seeing as how I will be taking them to schools this fall most likely!
