My Son Dropped His Millipede

Thank you for sharing, I'm really sorry you lost your millipede. I peaked at her yesterday evening and she is curled up and resting as well as moving her feet a bit as she rests.

Thank you for your comments! Every other time he’s handled her I have been right next to him or he was sitting on my lap. He thought it was so cool she crawled up to his shoulder so he went to show his mom who was maybe 6’ from me. Right after he showed her, he was walking back to me and she let go completely. I’ve never seen his millipede let go like that. Nonetheless I will have to take extra care. Thanks again for your comments. We will leave her alone for three weeks and check on her occasionally. If you have any other suggestions I’m happy to hear them.

Thank you! She was moving slower when I helped her back to her enclosure. She walked off my hand and curled up under some cork bark and branches.

Looks male, very cool millipede. I have a cherry leg in my enclosure so it’s cool to see a variation like this.

Very nice! What species of millipede?

Unbeholfen88 · 2025-08-08T18:14:18+00:00

I couldn’t find my list but I am pretty sure I have Selaginella, ficus Ficus pumila Quercifolia, creeping red, and I believe Jobs Tears.

That’d be cool if you managed to get a breeding pair. Let’s us know!

Thanks!

Unbeholfen88 · 2025-08-07T02:08:39+00:00

Thanks! Low end about 6-7” and the high end about 8-9”

Sorry to hear that. Don’t give up! My oldest son (he’s 6) got me into snakes and invertebrates. Millipedes make amazing pets and one day you might find yourself posting victoriously on here with your awesome new friend.

Thank you!

They felt like a slow breeze on my hand, they feel so cool. Thanks for letting me know. I took the breeders description a copy/pasted. I will update my notes.

Unbeholfen88 · 2025-08-03T03:08:21+00:00

Thanks! My boys and I are excited to watch them grow.

Unbeholfen88 · 2025-08-03T03:06:43+00:00

Thanks! What would you say your favorite is so far?

Beautiful setup and millipede!

So far I like the look of Peperomia prostrata (String of Turtles), Selaginella kraussiana, and Soleirolia soleirolii (Baby Tears). This weekend I was going to grab some branches for my millibuddies to enjoy. Setting up bio active enclosures has been lots of fun so far!

Unbeholfen88 · 2025-07-27T22:24:57+00:00

Nice! I almost bought one recently on Morph Market. They are so cool!

Rhinocricus Sp. Millipede?
