Mozambique Red Fire Millipede

Description

Centrobolus splendidus have been captive-bred in the US for many years but they rarely make it into the mainstream. Specimens measure about 1/2 of an inch to 3/4 of an inch, and reach an ultimate length of about 3 or so inches. Though small they breed very well and are gorgeous with their red and black, glossy appearance.

These millipedes require a substrate of mixed organic matter (see related products, below). Humidity is important and room temperature is highly recommended for this species. No extra heat!

Please review the new YouTube video, below for more info.
