Giant millipedes — Giant millipede A–Z
Giant millipedes are peaceful, slow-moving detritivores kept for their impressive size and hypnotic, rippling movement rather than for interaction. They are among the easiest exotic invertebrates to care for, needing mainly a deep, moist bed of rotting hardwood and leaf litter plus a calcium source, but every species secretes a defensive fluid that can stain and irritate skin and eyes, so hands must be washed after any contact. Compare temperament and care needs, then find the breed that fits your home.
