Meet Millie!

My new Millipede. She is awesome! :D

Neat!! How big is she going to get!?

:D She'll get about twice the size she is at now. She's only three inches right now. Just a baby. :)

Oh and those things on her head are mites. They are very beneficial to Millipedes and help keep harmful bacteria off of them. :)

She's adorable. Is she a certain species? I'd get shot if I brought home one of those (looking for more roaches though). The mites would bug me though, literally.

She is, I just don't remember. :o All I know is their care is the same as Giant African Millipedes, though they are a different species. :)

Wow, you have some stuning pets! I've never seen a Millipede, she is quite amazing!

Thank you! :D They are very similar to centipedes, but much much cuter! :D They have two legs per segment, and share characteristics with both insects and worms. :)


I recorded a video of her so you all can see how she crawls. :p The video is noisy due to the traffic near our house, but the video is really cool because you can see her legs move while she walks.

:D

She's so shiny and pretty! Welcome, Millie! :)

Millie says thanks! :D

She is absolutely gorgeous in person! She is by far one of the healthiest millipedes I've seen. :D

What an awesome pet!! Welcome Millie!!:D

Ooo! I have goosebumps now. :D

I like her name. :) She's very shiny! ;)

Wow, great video! She is amazing, how long do Millipedes live?

Wow! Millie looks like a very cool pet! :D Do the mites just stay on her or will they move to other places, like on other pets?

Wow! Shes adorable! What does Millipedes eat? Shes awsome
