Dragon millipedes are small tropical detritivores. Give them three to four inches of moist substrate topped with a deep layer of hardwood leaf litter and crumbling rotten wood, which is most of what they eat. Keep humidity high and do not let the substrate dry out. Room temperature suits them. Five in one bin is a group rather than a crowd, so go up an enclosure size instead of packing them in.
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 →
