Yellow Avatar Millipede (Spirostreptida sp. "Avatar")

Yellow Avatar Millipede for sale from Big Z's (Spirostreptida sp. "Avatar"). Comes with a Spice rating and a care guide, and ships packed for the weather.

Jet black, a thin yellow ring on every segment, and red-orange legs: the Avatar earns the name.

The Yellow Avatar Millipede comes in under the importer's label Spirostreptida sp. "Avatar": field collected in Indonesia, about 4 to 5 inches, slim and glossy black with a fine yellow ring per segment and red-orange legs and head. The species is not described, so the name is an order-level placeholder. Ours climb cork and bark at night, which makes them a better display than most big millipedes.

Spice Level 3: Intermediate. No venom and no bite, but its defensive fluid can stain skin and must stay away from eyes and mouth, so wash your hands after any contact. The real work is the substrate: these animals eat their home. Build a deep bed of decomposed hardwood leaves and soft rotten wood before they move in, keep it damp below and drier on top, vent low on two walls, and skip the heat mat. No coco fiber as the bed. Never dig up a buried millipede; it is molting. Handling is not recommended; treat it as a display animal. The Big Z's care guide covers the full edible-substrate build.

What you get: one wild-caught Yellow Avatar Millipede at about 4 to 5 inches, unsexed. A Burrow Buddy fits a single or a pair; a group wants a deep custom tub. Ships live on FedEx Overnight with the Live Arrival Guarantee on overnight orders.

Full care is in the care guide. It covers enclosure size, temperature, humidity, feeding, molting signs and handling limits for this species. Read the Advanced guide, or the shorter Simple guide →
