It's just not fair that we can't get those imported in the states any longer:mad:

They usually go for around $50-70 here, now.

I remember when we used to get them for $5 each. *sigh* :(

Yeah I have two 6"ers right now. They've been 6" for almost a year now.

Unfortunately they're both the same sex..... *frowns*.

Oh, they're super easy to breed. They just take forever to grow up and the young tend to be hard to raise for some.

We can't get them because of a millipede import ban. We can only get captive bred ones here.

No

No they won't. Millipedes only eat fruits and veggies, not each other. Just make sure that the other ones don't keep the small one from eating.

I see... another question, will they stress each other(no matter what size) and stop each other from eating or drinking... ?? :?

Madagascar

I think their illegal to export from Africa now, don't know why.
The reason it is illegal to import these guys is cause most major millipedes, especially AGBs come from Madagascar and African governments are trying to keep the island more pristine. The country contains many species that are not found any where else in the world and many of those are threatened by poaching. So, to be safe, the government has just stopped everything to help restore the ecosystem and to protect their species.

All the more reason to get these guys reproducing like rats on viagra for the hobby;P
