The listing is for 1x animal, of a RARE species of millipede that is famous for its black and silver zebra patterns.

These are CAPTIVE BRED, with this stock originating from Spain, Europe. Please note that this is a very small species where fully grown adults only measure a few centimetres in length.
The juveniles and adults feed mainly on decaying wood and leaf mulch (decayed leaf litter). Additional supplements such as calcium (limestone/cuttlefish bone), fruits & veg, moss, and protein such as fish food should be offered as part of their balanced diet.
