Ivory Millipede (Chicobolus spinigerus) - 4-5" (Adult WC)

Cream-and-coffee bands, a wave of tiny legs, and zero drama Chicobolus spinigerus, the Florida Ivory Millipede, is the US-native classic and the best display millipede going. It matures into a smooth 4-to-5-inch cylinder ringed in warm cream and dark coffee bands, rippling forward on a wave of hundreds of tiny legs. Hardy, glossy, and absurdly photogenic, it is one of the prettiest invertebrates you can keep on a shelf. It is also one of the most low-stress. No venom, no bite, and no sting; worst case is a curl-up and a mild almond-scented secretion, so keep any handling gentle and wash your hands after. This happy composter eats its own substrate of oak leaf litter and rotting hardwood, stays content in a small group, and asks almost nothing of you. A perfect first invert for a kid, a classroom, or anyone who wants something genuinely beautiful and genuinely no-drama. Skim the care guide and you will have it dialed in five minutes.
