currently the length of a standard match...but a lot thicker, and seems to have grown a bit in the month odd i have had him...

in all honestly mate i don't know that much, most milli's are very hit and miss once ou get to the unusual.

I would make an educated guess and say it was a juvanile, and would keep it in a semi tropical tank. Feed it a mix of fruit and veg and calcium for growth.

Thanks Shep...so as a flat armoured milli will it require the same type of care Spikebrit has suggested? he/she seems to be doing fine in a cricket tub on soil and eco earth substrate, with the bark from the palm in there...this little chap has sparked a real interest in the millipedes for me! i deffinately want more! :mf_dribble:
