Default My Giant Aferican Millipedes

Hi,
As u may of read in my other post i got my 2 Millipedes from:
www.exotic-pets.co.uk
Arrived 2 days ago now & are happy eating away like made, love climbing, 1 always sleeps right up the top of the branch by the roof & the other 1 just seems to eat 24/7!!! Think their fascinating.
When ive had chance it looks as if i got a male & female as one has all legs & other has couple legs missin at front with strange white round thing poping out & minny legs.
Heres a few pics of them climbing & eating.
ALSO any1 that has Millipedes if u havent already, give them some musterd & cress they love it mine wont stop eating it!!











Hope u like
Dan

Great looking pedes! To tell if youve a male - around the 7th segment down from the head it will look like a pair of legs is missing, thats where the male gonopods are located. Both sexes have a gap at the 2nd/3rd segment. Mine love eating green leafy stuff like those salad packs you get in Sainsburys (non lettuce ones), Ill have to try them on mustard and cress though
