Western Red Millipede (Tylobolus claremontus).

Western red millipedes (Tylobolus claremontus) are a medium-sized species of millipede native to the west coast. These beautiful millipedes aren't available nearly as often as other US native millipedes, but their care is similar the more common species such as Narceus. Tylobolus are very underrated in the millipede hobby and are a must have for any millipede enthusiast.

**These are also UV / Black light reactive.

Millipedes can live for a long time, some species up to ten years. They get along together and are active and entertaining.

Millipedes can be some of the easiest pet bugs to care for.

One of the great conveniences about keeping millipedes as pets is how easy they are to feed, Millipedes are omnivores/detritivores, so they eat pretty much anything and everything. A lot of their nutrients are found in their environment or their substrate naturally.

Millipedes require a substrate that consists of natural, nutritious, and digestible ingredients with ample amounts of decaying hardwood leaves and rotting wood.

Fruits and vegetables to bits of dried pet food are eaten but these should all be considered supplements as they do require a source of calcium in their diet.

Millipede enthusiasts enjoy the fact that many species get quite large and can be kept together in colonies.

Millipedes are generally safe to handle, but all species should be considered dangerous to the extent that some can emit toxic chemicals.

Children should be supervised and hands should be washed before and after handling.

Millipedes are regularly used as "hands on" teaching aids by many educators around the world. They make great bug buddies, classroom companions, terrarium team mates, etc…
