Giant African Millipede


Thirsty Giant African Millipede, Archispirostreptus sp.

The Giant African Millipede, mentioned previously, is one of the largest millipedes in the world. It is a harmless detritivore, not to be confused with the stinging centipede. When kept in captivity, the cage sides of many arthropod such as the millipede and tarantula are misted. This gives another, often preferred, water source to drink from in addition to a shallow water dish.
