Hey there, I'm Ray and I keep mainly millipedes as a hobbiest and I'm still learning a lot about insects.
I have a number of millipedes and will try to keep an up to date list of species here, as well as any I've named 💕
Millipedes
- Gaint Olive/striped Leg(Telodeinpus Aoutii) Adult - Just the one and she's called Shoelace!
-Gaint Olive/striped Leg(Telopedinpus aoutii) juvenile x3
- Thai Rainbow(Apeuthes sp. Thailand) just the one called Rain!
- Spotted Fire(Centrolobus splendidus) x 2
- Gaint Golden(Orthroporus Ornatud) x 3
- Bumblebee(Anadenobolus monilicornis) x 14
- Yellow Dragon(Orthomorpha communis)x1
- Smocky Oak(Narceus gordanus) x1
- Red-Legged (Epibolus pulchripes) x19
- Giant African train(Archispirostreptus Gigas) x3
I have 12 baby millipedes as well! I'll try to ID them once they're bigger and have more colour. But I believe they are spotted reds and MAYBE some bumblebees.
Woodlice/isopods
- Wild caught ??
- Dairy cows 70-100
- Mixed Armadillidium 30+
There's tons of other speices I'd love to get in the future! The new few I plan to get if possible are:-
- Candy Ball pills(Phopalomeris carnifex), such super cute little guys, I believe they're a type of pillbug? Related to millipedes? Got more research to do but I hope to get come soon!
- Ivory Millipedes(Chicobolus spinigerus) their colours are so nice and they're so itty bitty!
- Avatar Millipedes(Apirotreptida sp) I LOVE their yellow legs and feelings, they're the next millipedes I'd like to get once I have the funds for another tank.
- Cameroon rosey leg millipede(Spirostreptidae sp) my friend got some of these and oh I loved them! They're so big and active.
- Coromus Vittatus, a type of flatback Millipede that I've had before and would love another of.
- Purple Ivory Millipede(Chicobolus spinigerus) I just LOVE the purple on them, they're also said to be climbers!
For other plans I want to redo the isopod tanks, get them some nicer tanks with clear glass/plastic so I can see what they're up to.
More sticks and branches in the big tank to the big boys have more to climb on.
Passed pets
- Bark - Coromus Vittatus
I won't be listing any that pass here that I didn't name.
I adoooooore how curious the rosey legs are. One is a big scaredy cat but hes not afraid to thoroughly explore new items i put into their enclosure. He ran off when i put some fresh fallen leaves in but now hes really enjoying the new enrichment. Power to that lil guy 💪 hes my little Courage the cowardly millipede. I would kiss him on the head if he didnt run away from me
