My millipede collection

[Marika]

This is a very fertile species ^^.
I hope you can sell them, it is not only a question of food, but a question of space too when they become larger :wideyed:.

At least they're not the same size as A. gigas

" Sorry, I have no time for the forum for the next two years, I have to expand my house because I need space for my growing millipedes!"

 

[Marika]

I noticed a tiny centipede in my giant millipede enclosure. Looks like she's guarding a clutch of babies. Well, maybe they'll help me get rid of the dwarf isopods in that enclosure
I guess I should change the substrate at some point... But there are no small millipede babies atm in there, the only male I have isn't mature yet.

It is pretty adorable...they are small enough

One of my Mozambique caramels freshly molted. She's pretty but very shy.



I lifted a piece of corkbark and caught Cameroon grey/cream stripe millis just starting to mate.


Cameroon fat black is a poop machine.


Juvenile A. gigas, I think he's about 1,5 years old. (I need to get rid of those isopods...)

Nice pedes! If I had the space, I would totally get a fat Cameroon black. The Caramel pedes look lovely!

Again, @Marika you wow me with your collection! Those caramels are amazing. But my favorite is the one in your profile pic - Species 8, I think? And those red millipedes you have a gazillion of... Gotta say, if I had that many isopods I'd reach for a blow torch! I finally got them out of one of my enclosures where I'd seen mating and egg laying and never had babies. I had to completely redo the enclosure. That was 3 months ago and I am still waiting on babies.. I love isopods, don't call PETA! I just don't want them in millipede enclosures anymore.

Thanks, you have a great collection as well Yeah, I'd like to change that substrate, but I think some of the pedes might be molting, I haven't seen them in ages. I've had babies in isopod infested enclosures, but my Spirotreptidae sp. 8s are in that tank, so I don't want to risk it, they are one of my favorites too. My only male is still immature, so I'm not in a hurry though.

 

[Marika]

He was hanging like this for a long time, I was actually starting to think that he's dead What a weirdo...

 

[7Fin]

Crazy little guy, must've found the perfect relaxation position or something.

 

[Marika]

Yum! She loves strawberries.

 

[7Fin]

Oh my God that is one of the cutest pictures I have seen in years.

 

[keks]

What a great picture! It made my day just now ^^.

 

[mickiem]

I fed my guys some sweet cherries yesterday. They loved them! I haven't tried strawberries. Yet.

Reposting some of the older pics that don't work anymore because of Photobucket. I don't have all these pedes anymore, but the pics are nice.

Hurray! Some of the most beautiful millipictures on AB are being revived! That sp. 8 is absolutely stunning

Tuo on kaunista! (Was my structure correct there? I'm trying to learn.)
My favorite is the Tanzanian yellow leg. Do you know the scientific name?

 

[LawnShrimp]

The 8s are so green and big, but their eyes are so narrow and kinda annoyed looking... cute though!

I like how narrow their eyes are. It makes them look like they're perpetually tired, which is really cute.
