I live in illinois, and I have never seen any large milipede like these except for in books. Today while on vacation in Door County, Wisconsin we took an adventure on our kayaks to an island not too far from the mainland. These guys were all over! We took one back to our vacation rental home and my daughter was so excited to find these!
Catching and keeping native millipedes and isopods are the best. I hope you daughter learns a lot from this experience.
Ooh beautiful little buggers! How I wish there was a larger community (at least here on CZcams) for keeping millipedes. I have a female O. ornatus of the gold variety and she's so stunning and very surface active! planning on getting a chocolate morph in the future and I may even set up a new tank for some C. spinigerus since their colouration is also quite beautiful. Millipedes are by far my favourite invertebrates.
They really are super cool. Have you been in touch with Stephanie at Green Acres?
Great video Wally!
My favorites are the ivory and flamelegs...a tossup between those two. 👍
That's my order too. Thanks Rus
I have a few types. Ivories are probably my favorite...so surface active and nice size, coloring.
Completely agree.
Make sure you check out our Isopod and Millipede store at - supremegecko.square.site/s/shop?page=1&limit=60&sort_by=name&sort_order=asc
I'm getting 2 smokey oaks this coming Thursday and I'm very excited. These will be my first millipedes and I think they'll be my favorite creatures to keep so far. I keep scorpions but you can only interact so much with them, ya know.
Nice. Congratulations!
Great new additions.
Thank you!
Nice video, thank you for sharing. I've found millipedes around the yard. I might keep some.
Thank you
Just got 2 of these today along with 2 male Florida Ivory Millipede and 3 new isopods from Hawleys Homebread Reptiles here in Spokane, WA
Nice. Congrats.
I love the new milliepeeds i have tbe ivory milliepeeds so far great video SG
Thank you very much Crystal.
Iḿ about to get a gorgeous bumble bee millipede in a few days, I´m so excited!
Congratulation. They are very cool. Keep me posted on how it does.
Great video!
Thanks Emily
I was happy to see these millipedes. I do not have any but I do want to get some ivory millipedes. Congratulations on your new millipedes. They are so big and pretty. I know you will have fun with them.
Thank you Barb. If I could only have one, it would be the ivories
@@SupremeGecko Yes that is what I want next. I love the way they look.
Nice video! I keep millipede too, they are very interesting to keep like isopod!
Thank you! Thanks for watching too. Which millipedes are you keeping? BTW- love your videos.
Really a fun millipede
.
Nice millipedes! Millipedes were the first invertebrates that my parents allowed me to get a few of. They led to me getting isopods. I have had a few ivory millipedes for years now and they still haven't bred 🤔
that is odd. How many do you have and what sex are they (maybe the same?)
I just got some of these millipedes!
Did you! That is cool. Big fat cigar of a millipede :)
This weekend I’ll be trying out the isopod chow 👍🏼👍🏼
I want to get some millipedes 🥰
Excellent. Good luck and I would absolutely love an honest opinion. Thank you!
Very awesome unboxing video I too have some of these but not the same morph they are more of a gray and black. My favorite millipedes are the cool looking ones lol.
Maybe a local thing?
Supreme Gecko that’s quite possible I would like to get some of these nice yellow kinda browny ones you got though.
I just collected some wild isopods and am going to culture them.
Great video Taevian. I've watched it a couple times. Wild are the best. Get your feed wet first then venture into other isopods if you desire.
Amazing Millipedes! I keep 2 species. Chondromorpha xanthotricha and Trigoniulus corallinus (scarlet). They are very cool! And I'm planning on breeding them soon. Narceus gordanus is one of my Favorite species!
nice!
My favorite species I keep are spirostreptus sp. Uruguay. They have bright orange and olive green banding, have a pretty good length, and are very surface active. A close second would be my C. Spinegerus. I have regular and purples and they are great display species as well as they are always out and about and climbing branches. On the more diminutive end, I love the little B. Lecontii. I do love my albino N. Americanus, but they are always burrowed... Same goes for A. Monilicornis, they are absolutely stunning, but I wish they were more surface active...
Sounds like a great collection. Yes, if a species hides all the time, in my book, it looses points :) Thanks for the great answer.
Im currently preparing some special substrate specifically because I want to get some ivory milipedes.
Interesting. Good luck and PLEASE keep me posted.
I have a soft spot for the black headed flame millipede.
Ohhhhh. Nice!
Do you have any tips for breeding/keeping Rubber Ducky Isopods? Great video as always
There is very spotty information out there. Do you currently have RD's? Best I have is a fully moist substrate with lots of hiding spots.
3 Smokey oaks they love apples
Cool!
You're so awesome 😎
Thank you very much.
Just bought 3 Smokey oaks lots of oak tree on my property can I use them as leaf litter
Nice! Congratulations
Awesome vid! You asked if you were pronouncing the name correctly and it is actually pronounced, at least in a Latin scientific context, Nar-Kee-us Gor-don-us
Perfect! Thank you so much.
@@SupremeGecko of course! Huge fan of the vids!
I just got my first Narceus gordanus last week!. While transferring it to its new enclosure it secreted yellow fluid all over my hands; it looked as though it was coming from the segments themselves. I have read that some are defensive and can cause irritation. DO I need to be concerned? I noticed that it was pretty acidic smelling, and stained my fingers pretty good.
That IS their defensive means. We wash our hands after holding any millipede but I've heard (unless you have an allergy) that the secretion is only a mild irritant on the skin (at the most). You would certainly never want to ingest something like this of course.
👍
Thanks
I’ve never owned millipedes do they bite?
Not at all. I've had them nibble on my finger but it's hardly noticable.
I have keep millipede for 1 year
Nice. What species
The millipede substrate sounds curious. Do any have flake soil as it sounds like short term substrate vs long term.
Saw dust? This doesn't sound like an aged appropriate millipede substrate.
It is not. 'Flake' soil would be better but this is a close second.
No.
@@SupremeGecko Wait, you're stating a raw product such as saw dust is a close second to flake soil? It's inedible for most millipedes until it decays which can take 5- 8 months depending on soft or hard wood. A close second would be decaying leaves, dried leaves and we feel a distance 20th place is a raw product for most millipedes.
We don't currently keep millipedes. I just recently touched my first isopod, I'm just not there yet with millipedes.
Morgan- small steps. If you get a chance, watch my video on Ivory millipedes with my granddaughter. You and Wesley will get a kick out of that one.
@@SupremeGecko I will!! We are slowly hammering through all the videos! So much to learn, great educational entertainment! Thank you!
@@morganborer8904 There is so much for ME to learn too. The more one thinks they know, the more there is to learn.
I've been interested in getting some millipedes and I'm between ivories but I also want bumblebee and scarlet. My husband was like uh why do you want millipedes? What do they do? lol. I told him about them he thinks I'm crazy well I am so I cant argue w him there but keeping little critters doesnt make you crazy haha. I have recently went out with my two youngest kids to a park area near a creek ( I call it a crick but that's just what we call them where I grew up). We found some different type of isopods I honestly don't know the species etc but there is at least 4 different types. I did this because I saw a few of your videos on them and that's what kind of pushed me to actually go out and collect some. While doing so I found 2 itty bitty millipedes. I have them w my isopods but I haven't seen them since I put them in because I don't want to bother them and want them all to settle in. Any who I'm done rambling just want to thank you for your videos they are all super helpful and informative in a fun nice way and enjoyable. Maybe you can do a video on all of your millipedes? Ha e a great night!
I still contend the best isopods and millipedes are the wild caught ones. They are fun to work with and it puts you (and your children) in touch with nature. Ramble all you want. I love reading comments like this! Thank you for watching, all your support, and this great idea (the Supreme Millipede Hour :)
You and I have a lot in common! My husband wasn't sure about my getting millipedes but he is researching about them and finds them a little fascinating, too! So far I have three ivories and two smoky oak millipedes. I have twenty scarlet and bumblebee millipedes coming in the mail though! They get addicting to have! I love them!
Love Isopods can't get into Millipedes lol
Why not :) Too creepy?
Does anyone breed millipedes in captivity or are they all wild caught?
A LOT of people do. I do!
International import ban
Hey I like this video and I want to keep them but not a lot of research on them. I heard in the. I see that you do have some but do you sell them? Unfortunately I do not have FB, or any other social media app. If you can share with me some of your tips and if you do sell them I can find a way to chat with you.
Thank you for watching. You are correct. Not a lot at all. No I do not sell them. Tips- keep them in a good substrate.
Couldn't believe how many were in the cup he just kept pulling them out
Right!?!
wow that was a lot of millipedes.. how many different types of millipedes do you have in your collection and how long does it take for them to have offspring and how do you sex them.. No I don't think I will keep them as pets I do like them but the wife would say no lol ....good work Wally
How many different types- 6 I think right now. It takes them different times to reach maturity but mostly in a year. The fire legs are amazing my friend.
I think I may need to donate a pocketknife to the channel and liberate you from that razor blade. Love the vids by the way.
:) I would be far more dangerous with a pocket knife ;)
@@SupremeGecko In the interest of keeping you safe, I say enjoy that razor blade sir!
40 degrees isn't actually that cold for millipedes, high heat is far more harmful to US natives than cooler temps, most come from areas with cold or at least pretty cool winters. The lack of insulation in the package aside from the newspaper isn't that unusual either, and would be unnecessary for this species, in that weather. :)
Thank you for the comments. Agree about the 'too warm temps' point. Temps in FLA this week were in the 80s. The 40 degree difference is a bit concerning. And, is it typical to ship that many in that small of a container? Thanks again.
@@SupremeGecko They WERE packed in pretty tightly, and I'd personally have added some damp paper towels to the very top for more insulation within the deli cup itself. But they got to you safely regardless, so yay for that.
I counted 20
Nailed it.
I got 🍫 desert millipedes, and soon ima have more cuz there breeding
Nice. congratulations. What is the scientific name?
31 millipedes
I think you counted some of the leaves :) I know it got a bit tricky there for a while.
Well they sent them through the mail which is illegal I thought? Lol
I've been getting millipedes mostly at local reptile shows. I will have to check on this. Thanks.
@@SupremeGecko no problem. I know some tarantula breeders that send through the mail but its illegal to do but some do it anyway. Better safe than sorry. Lol
@@crazyfaith77 Completely agree
First comment!
Way to go!
Peat Moss is SUPER bad for the environment.
I have no idea what you mean. Could you elaborate please?
