Orthoporus ornatus Orange

Description

This orange to red color form of Orthoporus ornatus is very uncommonly offered. These desert millipedes are one of the prettiest in the hobby and best of all they are a surface active species, spending very little time burrowed. They tolerate dryness better than most other hobby millipedes.

Orthoporus ornatus millipedes tend to feed on offerings like fruit, more than on leaf litter like other hobby millipedes.

Measuring at around 4 to 6 inches. Unsexed only. (we offer younger/smaller ones through another listing in the related products below)
