Millipede

10 Count Lot for sale from Big Z's. Spice-rated keeper notes, care guidance, and live-arrival packing where eligible.
Ten American Pinkfoots in one box, at roughly 20% off the single-animal price
Narceus americanus, the American Pinkfoot Millipede, is the gentle giant of the eastern US woodlands and the largest millipede native to the country: a dark, polished cylinder rimmed in the vivid pink legs that earn its name. This listing is the ten-count lot of the same wild-caught mixed-size animals Big Z's sells one at a time. Ten of them turn a leaf-litter bin into a working woodland floor, which is exactly what a bioactive build, a classroom project, or a real breeding group needs.
This is a tireless composter that treats leaf litter and rotting hardwood as both home and dinner, tolerates cooler temperatures than its tropical cousins, and is perfectly happy in a group. It physically cannot bite and would much rather curl into a tight coil than do anything else, which makes it the single best first invert for a kid or a classroom. Spice Level 1: Kid Friendly. Ten animals in one box means ten animals' worth of shipping to plan for, so check Big Z's current live-arrival and weather policy before ordering, and read the care guide for the full leaf-litter build.
The numbers live in the care guide. Enclosure size, temps, humidity, feeding schedule, premolt signs, handling boundaries: it's all in the care guide for this exact fella. Start with the full Advanced guide, or click for the quick Open the Simple version →
