Arthroverts Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Hello all, I am working on a multi-species millipede display tank, and I have a question about possible hybridization between some Spirostreptus species. I have a large (but I don't think mature) male/female pair of Spirostreptus sp. "Green Fairy Tail". The smaller one (the male I believe) is about five-six inches, while the larger is about six-eight inches. I also have five three-four inch Spirostreptus sp. 1, or Globular Millipedes. I would like to combine both species into my display, but I don't want to breed hybrids. Does anyone have experience with either of these species or other Spirostreptus and can shed some light here? I am not asking for advice or information based off of wholly different genera. Many thanks, Arthroverts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 What is "green fairy tail"? I don't think you'd have much to worry about since the unidentified "Spirostreptus" often available are probably not that closely related and may simply be spirostreptids from a different genus.

Arthroverts Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 @Allpet Roaches, I believe it is also listed as Spirostreptus sp. 8. I decided to go ahead and put them together, as the Spirostreptus sp. 8 are the size of male Archispirostreptus gigas, while the Spirostreptus sp. 1 are much smaller, so I don't think hybridization will be a problem anymore. Thank you for your help! Arthroverts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
