Care information

Environmental conditions and basic care:

Temperature🌡️- 20 to 26c

Humidity💧- 70 to 90%

Origin: Austrialia, California, Hawaii, and Australia

Habitat size : Min 30cm x 30cm for a small group

Habitat information: Substrate depth of 8-12 cm Deep leaf litter layer

Nutrition 🥦: Millipedes are detritivores meaning they eat decaying organic matter. 

This includes:

Decaying hardwood leaves

Rotting hardwood (mycelium indicates rot, look for wood that falls apart easily)

Living plant matter (mosses, lichens, grasses, ferns, vegetables, etc)

Other decomposing organisms (Mold, bacteria, fungus)

That means substrate is super important as it is the millipede’s main diet. Supplemental feeding of vegetables/fruits/etc should be infrequent, maybe once a week. Protein should be offered more often, like twice a week.

Important info:

Life expectancy 🕰️- 2 to 3 years
