Orthoporus ornatus Desert Millipedes

Description

Orthoporus ornatus desert millipedes grow to six inches. This darker, unbanded color form tends to occur in the Sonoran Desert and emerges during the desert monsoon rains. They tolerate dry conditions rather well. Fruits or vegetables, in addition to partially wetting down their substrate every few days, help to hydrate them.

We currently offer them on sale at around 4 inches for $7 each.

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