r/millipedes

One’s a pink foot and the others an ivory

Melbert enjoying her fruit cup snack and wearing it as a hat. Apologies for the disgusting looking glass

the first image has a millipede right? Wrong. It's hollow, the second image is cursed,right Yeah it is BUT it (might) be a millipede without a shell. I think it is because when a millipede is ready to molt,it makes space within its tight shell,an ant bit it off and now,feast your eyes on eldritch horror.

The first pic is scolipede the megapede pokemon,8ft in height,200 kgs weight,aggressive behavior and deadly poison,this bug-poison type hits hard,fast and can take a physical hit,the additional benefit of becoming stronger when it mega evolves to a vaporwave knight with glowing venom (2nd pic)

The 3rd pick is for charizard fans who want to move on,centiskorch: 9ft tall,120 kgs,1500°c body temp,this imposing centipede isn't just on fire,it is 🔥🔥. With its 100 base hp and 115 atk,bug moves are hitting like a truck to any dark grass pokemon. In sword and shield,go the additional step and make it 75 m long and incinerate foes with heat waves hotter than in Europe.

So tell me,whom do you pick? (I better not hear pikachu again)

set them up in a 10 gallon, gonna go out and source some wood and maybe some moss later!

tank contains: organic top soil and coco fiber mix, oak leaves, sphagnum moss, and some live moss from amazon, cork bark, a wood log hide, piece of cuttle bone, and a piece of mopani wood i stole from my giant african’s tank bc there were some springtails on it >:).

jelly cup just to see if they’ll bother with it.

there’s about 4 inches of substrate, it does not look it from the angle of that picture though lol, might honestly go ahead and add more tho! and i need to get some more coverage like plants or something !

(posted on wrong account so i deleted and reposted sorry lol)

hiii!! i got a giant african millipede about half a year ago :) one thing i noticed, she often buries and does not come out for a while but i have not noticed her molting. we do not bother her when she's not out. she seems to be doing well and has been very active recently. i have been mixing cuttlebone into her substrate and sprinkled it on her food recently because im getting worried. when deep cleaning her enclosure i also could not find traces of her molt either.

i do not know how old she is and if she molted recently before we got her, since we got her at a reptile show with many pedes in the tub so the seller did not know :/

As of right now this is my favorite species of my collection. These are not only gorgeous but gigantic. They're way bigger than any African giant Milpitas ever owned. This one in the pictures almost 13 inches long. I really can't wait to have babies from them.

My first millipede!!

Meet Shadow my Australian giant red legged millipede. Not so giant yet but one day hahah

I'm leaning towards male...

Just discovered this lil guy stompin around in my Gundlachi terrarium while the gang is hard at work getting their beauty sleep. I’ve only put springtails and four spotted white tree millipedes in there, so seeing this friend scootin’ around on the surface is a pleasant surprise.

Hi everyone! 👋

I’ve been searching everywhere for Desmoxytes purpurosea, commonly known as the Shocking Pink Dragon Millipede, and haven’t had any luck finding one available.

I’m located in New York, USA and I’m looking for:

• Juveniles
• Adults
• A breeding pair
• Or even a reputable breeder who expects to have them available in the future.

I’m an experienced invert keeper, and this has become my dream species. They would be going to a permanent, well-prepared home.

If you know of a breeder, importer, private keeper, or someone willing to sell or even point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it!

Thank you so much! 🩷

My millipedes surfaced today after about 2-3 weeks, and this one just looks like this, legs are randomly twitching slowly, it is reacting to light stimulus, but won’t really right itself, and just remains or returns to this position. The other one is acting totally normal.

Anything I can do to help them? I acquired them from a friend so I don’t know much about them. These are my first and I’ve just fallen in love! I’ve had them about 2 months and they’ve been acting ‘normal’ as far as I can tell/ have learned.

Thanks in advance 🥺

Her name is Millie Bobby Brown

I’ve seen some people mention it before and I was very worried that the day would come that my ‘pedes would also figure out how to get up on the lid, but I was praying it wouldn’t happen. I only have a 10 gallon and there’s only 6 inches from the top of the tank to the top of the soil but I’m still so worried she will fall and hurt herself😭

There’s only 2 areas where it’s tall enough for them to get up but they are their favorite spots to hang out so i don’t want to have to move them :(

I had to move her myself back into the tank because she was just walking away from where the 2 high areas were and I didn’t know how long she had already been up there.

she is coming to get us
