Captive Bred Scarlet Millipede (Trigoniulus corallinus) | Single, 3 Pack, or 5 Pack
Scarlet millipedes are a vibrant and beginner-friendly species, making them a great choice for keepers interested in starting with millipedes or adding a colorful detritivore to their collection. Their bright reddish-orange coloration and active behavior make them especially eye-catching in bioactive setups.
This species generally reaches around 2–4 inches in length and thrives in deep, moisture-retaining substrate rich in organic matter. Provide at least 3 inches of substrate containing decomposed leaf litter and rotting wood, which serves as their primary food source as detritivores.
Supplemental foods such as fresh fruits, vegetables, and fish flakes can also be offered occasionally as part of a balanced diet.
