I have two American giant pedes in a creature keeper about one foot long by six inches tall. Their substrate is coconut fiber that I keep moist by misting their enclosure twice daily. I incorporated dead oak leaves on top as well as mixed into the coconut fiber. They have a small heater. They will not burrow but stay at the surface ! When I say that don't burrow I mean like ever. I have tried experiments where I bury them half way down the substrate but they always come to the surface and remain there. By the way the substrate is about five inches deep.

I will be getting some new millipede species, I will get pics when I have these in my collection, and it will take some time to get all of these species in the hobby. Some are new species and some are rare in the hobby rare species list •Spirostreptidae Spec. 4 •Giant African millipedes New species list (as far as I know these are not in the US hobby but I could be wrong) •unknown millipede from Greese 2 color forms, I beleve they are different shades of brown, adults •Glomeris Marginata "Lasgarn wood lands" juveniles and adults, these are European pill millipedes black dark brown light brown speces from Malaysia •Thyropygus sp. banded 25 cm •Thyropygus sp. metalic black 23 cm •Thyropygus sp. orange 22 cm
