Desmoxytes planata "Pink Dragon" Millipedes
Beautiful small species of millipede. Great fun to watch in a live planted terrarium.
These isopods do well at average UK room temperatures (around 20°C), though they will thrive at 24 - 26°C They enjoy a nice moisture gradient, general guidance would be to keep 2/3 of the enclosure moist. They enjoy a variety of foods such as washed and peeled vegetable scraps, though the stable of their diet should be leaf litter, rotten hardwoods and flake soil. Ensure they have access to a good source of calcium, we would recommend either cuttlebone, eggshells or oyster shells.
Please note: All millipedes are captive bred by us here at The Bug Room.
