Philippine Giant Blue Millipede

[mickiem]

These Acladocricus are about a year and a half old. They are growing fast and I have been able to sex a few - I have at least 3 females ad 2 males. Not that they will be old enough to breed anytime soon; that won't happen for a few years. When they molt, they don't eat the exoskeleton so there are always pieces in the enclosure. Today I thought I saw complete circles (which I associate with dead rather than molted millipedes). I was bummed but I fingered through and found all 10. Happy dance!

They're so beautiful!
I hope you're successful in breeding them down the road.
Where'd you get them?

Thank-you! They are beautiful. This photo doesn't show much blue, but they do show it in person. I bought them from @SDCPs last October. He has a website and I saw he is sold out for now. He is great to deal with. I got my Flamelegs from him also. See if this link works!

You're welcome!
Awesome thanks! I'll keep an eye out and maybe contact them at some point [when I have money lol].
The link works, thank you!

Glad to see they're doing well for you! I'm hoping to pick up some pedes from him this year if I can free up some space.

I agree, I have gotten high-quality millipedes and service from SDCPs. I got my flamelegs and African Black (Mardonius, not AGB) millipedes from him.

I would really love to know how they are doing. I recently got 9 of them. I can't find anything about how to keep them so I set them up like my A. gigas going by your recipe for the substrate. I have 2 adult females and 3 adult males and would really love to get them to breed.

The biggest difference in these is they seem to have a higher need for calcium. Are your breeding?

nothing to sell!

 

[The Odd Pet]

That's OK I now have pretty much all of them except glossy black pink legs. Will you have your pink legs again? Also thanks for getting back me.

 

[The Odd Pet]

My (Acladocricus sp. "Negros Island") Philippine giant blue/grey millipedes are breeding. I mixed crushed egg shells cuttlefish bone and pulverized limestone into the substrate for calcium.

 

[The Odd Pet]

Oh I just noticed your meant gigas. Yes they are breeding also. I use the same mix of substrate for all my millipedes.
