Florida Ivory Millipede Chicobolus spinigerus

Description

The Florida Ivory Millipede Chicobolus spinigerus is perhaps the best pet millipede species in the hobby. Life span is reported up to ten years. They are the most highly recommended beginner’s species. Size of available specimens varies around the one to two or so inches mark and they grow to around four inches in length. They are attractive and more active on the substrate surface than many other hobby species.

Their black and white banding reminds me of a backgammon board with its series of up and down triangles along the segments.

Millipedes require a substrate of mixed organic matter (see related products, below).
