Millipedes are among the most handleable invertebrates. They’re slow, gentle, and fascinating to observe. When threatened, they curl into a spiral and may secrete a mild defensive fluid (wash hands after handling). They’re detritivores, feeding on decaying plant matter. Long-lived and low-maintenance.
🏡 Care Requirements
Provide deep substrate (4-6 inches) for burrowing, maintain high humidity (75-85%), and temperatures 72-78°F. Feed decaying leaves, vegetables, and protein sources. Include calcium source like cuttlebone.
