rockpython Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 http://s931.photobuc...b562c.jpeg.html I've been watching this pede everytime I went to my LPS... I just had to give him a home! I can't wait to expand with more. Any suggestions on a thick millipede legal in the US? (No AGP's ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcbpolish Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I found a millipede wandering the halls of the school where I work this morning. 3cm long. I put him in a petri dish with some coconut husk bedding, some crumbled alfalpha pellets, and a small piece of apple. If nothing else, it's something to show the students. Hope you can find some more millipedes for your collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpython Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Thanks wcbpolish! I've taken care of them in my pet store years but never owned one. They are really neat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellakk Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Narceus spp. are the largest available in the US. Narceus gordanus is a decently thick millipede, but US millipedes will be nowhere near as large as AGBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 My favorite is the albino Narceus americanus, very pretty, hardy, and easy to breed, only available as captives. A large Orthoporus can be as long as smaller AGB's and N. gordanus can be nearly as thick (only those from certain areas like Ocala) but nothing is like an AGB.

Chinese insect fans Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I found a small one in my flower pot last summer. But it died in winter. I don't know the English name of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCrackerpants Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Looks like a species from the Julida Order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
