Millipede

10 Count Lot for sale from Big Z's. Spice-rated keeper notes, care guidance, and live-arrival packing where eligible.
Ten Ivory Millipedes in one box, at roughly 20% off the single-animal price
Chicobolus spinigerus, the Florida Ivory Millipede, is the US-native classic and the best display millipede going: a smooth 4-to-5-inch cylinder ringed in warm cream and dark coffee bands, rippling forward on a wave of hundreds of tiny legs. This listing is the ten-count lot of the exact same wild-caught adults Big Z's sells one at a time. It is the practical way to stock a bioactive build, seed a group, fill a classroom vivarium, or put a real cleanup crew to work.
Ivories are communal and undemanding, so ten of them want a bigger bin and more oak leaf litter and rotting hardwood, not a harder setup. No venom, no bite, and no sting; worst case is a curl-up and a mild almond-scented secretion, so keep any handling gentle and wash your hands after. Spice Level 1: Kid Friendly. Ten animals in one box also 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 full care guide before the box lands.
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 →
