About this Fella

Yellow Dragon Millipede for sale from Big Z's (Orthomorpha sp. "Yellow Dragon"). Spice-rated keeper notes, care guidance, and live-arrival packing where eligible.

Dark bands break up a pale yellow back.

The Yellow Dragon Millipede, Orthomorpha sp. "Yellow Dragon", has a slender, flat-backed body with pale yellow plates crossed by dark bands. Pronounced side keels add to the outline, giving each segment a clearly defined shape. This is the Yellow Dragon trade form, kept separate from the orange forms in our lineup. These are offered in mixed sizes.

Spice Level 1: Kid Friendly. Care follows methods used for related captive Orthomorpha: moist humus, decomposed leaves, and soft, crumbly hardwood that serves as both food and shelter. Keep a damp refuge, provide ventilation, and avoid pooled water. Renew the edible substrate as it is consumed; small produce portions are supplements. Leave buried animals undisturbed and keep handling minimal. The Big Z's care guide explains the substrate, feeding, and moisture routine before you bring them home.

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 →
