Ember Millipede for sale from Big Z's (Thyropygus sp.). Comes with a Spice rating and a care guide, and ships packed for the weather.
Thyropygus sp. "Ember" (Ember Millipede)
Big, glossy and the color of a campfire coal. The Ember Millipede is a Southeast Asian giant that runs 4 to 6 inches of smooth, segmented armor in a warm red-brown that glows under the light every time it rolls across the substrate. No venom, no bite, no sting, and when it surfaces to cruise the leaf litter it steals the show from everything else on the shelf. It eats rotting wood and leaves, so a group of them doubles as the cleanup crew in a big bioactive build. These are full adults, ready to display the day they land. Grab an Ember today and put a real Asian giant millipede in your collection.
