Why did you buy a Millipede? just wondering don't hear to much people saying that they bought a millipede!
 
cool! Exotic pets (I guess thats what you'd call it) are awesome!

I had a wicked pink toe tarantula named molly
 
my college thesis is based on the northwest soil foodweb, millipedes play a huge roll in it. I have tons, and i seen these and i love 'em. So i collect em.:blsmoke:

OOps, I saw something like that crawling across the floor the other night, I picked it up and threw it in my fish tank. The triggers loved it.

LMAO. Its a Niger not a nigger. But no, those are one of the most docile triggers. I have a huma huma, clown, and a queen. Total predator fish, they are awesome to watch, nature at its purest. And trust me, those fish do get more attention than my plants, I have too much money invested in keeping those babies alive.
 
Attack fish? Millipedes? Goodness! Why don't you just get a pet bear and be done with it?
...
I always wanted a pet bear. A nice one.
 
I'm going to get a pet serval in a few years... there big whiled cats about the size of a german Shepard... but they have small mouths and small heads... so hopfuly it wont maim me too bad...

Notice the white blob. I call it "The love sac" Thats how babies are made in the world of millipedes. Females have the gonads. males..dont. they have the love sac, I havent gotten to examine them much.

But i will have babies:blsmoke:
 
woa... what... you just bought her yesterday, and already there planing on having children... I'm glad I'm not a millipeid for more than one reason now...
how many babies will they have? hundreds?
how big will they be? will they get out and get in your house?
 
females can produce up to 2000 offspring. and they cannot escpape. i plan on selling them to the local pet shop. for $15 a piece. :mrgreen: thats the avg rate.

a giant African millipede can growth past 12 inches easy :blsmoke:
 
woa... 15 a piece... up to 2000 from 2... hmmm... I think this is the begening of my milepied breading days :) haha

I dont rememeber if you said this already but. ... um I forgot what I was going to say... oh yea. how much did you pay for her... and him? are females more or vise versa?
 
Both were 15 a piece.

I took an old fish tank, put in 4 inches of soil, some dead leaves some peat moss.

They can eat dog food for protein

They love cucumbers more then anything.

They eat dead leaves for Ca/CO2.

The only hard thing was finding a pet shop that has them already.


PS if you live in Canada, you have to have a Federal Permit to own them :(

It took me a week to find a exotic pet shop that carried them. Then I had to drive almost halfway across Oregon to get each of them.
