Florida Ivory Millipede (Chicobolus spinigerus)

Florida ivory millipedes (Chicobolus spinigerus) are native to the southeastern US and display a wide variety of different colors and patterns depending on their locale. Ivory millipedes are beautiful, easy to care for, and do well in groups as well as with some other species of millipedes making them suitable for hobbyists of all experience levels.

Millipedes require a substrate that consists of natural, nutritious, and digestible ingredients with ample amounts of decaying hardwood leaves and rotting wood. Avoid any coconut husk fiber substrates as these can cause impaction in millipedes and lack any nutrients.

Currently available specimens are field-collected juveniles through adults.
