@Lucanus95 do you still have the Yellow N. americanus? Any luck breeding or finding more?

I lost my colony a while ago due to mold problem. I still see them in the wild but I no longer collect them anymore since my friend has an established colony already.

So sorry about your loss. Does your friend sell them? I would love to have a colony of those.

Sorry to hear that you lost your colony!

@mickiem I had forgotten until looking at this thread again about your tan color morph N. americanus -- how are they doing?

I want to collect them all!

I have pedelings! They are only a month old and tiny. Might not be ready until spring. I'm anxious to see some colors develop.

Nice pedes, N. Americanus is a nice species, and the colour variant there is lovely.

I ended up finding couple of adults today while looking for pill millipedes!
Two of them are males so I'm going to give them to a millipede expert at my department to see if he can ID them to species.

What does your colleague think about the yellows? Whether or not they are N. americanus; they are beautiful!

I haven't got a chance to give the specimen to him. Also, I'll be in El Paso till 21st starting Aug 4 so I probably won't hear from him for a while.

@LawnShrimp this is a long thread but lots of color info

@LawnShrimp have you seen this post with the different Narceus photos? Look through - there are two pages of 34 messages with lots of photos.
