Millipedes Invertebrates for sale

7 Millipedes Invertebrates for sale

Millipedes, sometimes called "thousand legs," are fascinating arthropods native to various global regions, thriving particularly in moist environments such as woodlands and gardens in the UK. Their segmented bodies are unique, with each section bearing two pairs of legs, distinguishing them from centipedes. Physically, they have cylindrical bodies and range in size, with some species known as Giant African Millipedes growing impressively large. These creatures are detritivores; they play a vital role by feeding on decaying organic matter and enriching the soil.

Their care requirements include maintaining humidity and providing a substrate of soil and leaf litter. Popular in the UK pet market, keywords such as "millipedes for sale UK," "pet millipede for sale," and "giant millipede for sale" indicate a growing interest in these unique invertebrates. Overall, Millipedes are excellent companions for those keen on observing fascinating, non-aggressive arthropods with essential ecological roles.

FAQs

Are millipedes invertebrates?

Yes, millipedes are invertebrates. They belong to the class Diplopoda within the arthropod phylum, meaning they have jointed legs and an exoskeleton but no backbone, classifying them as invertebrates.

Why am I getting millipedes in my house?

Millipedes often enter houses because they are attracted to damp environments with decaying organic matter such as compost piles, leaf litter, rotting logs, soil under rocks, and potted plants. They may invade indoors when their outdoor habitats become unsuitable or during certain weather changes, looking for moisture and shelter.

Are millipedes harmful?

Millipedes are generally not harmful to humans; they do not bite, sting, or transmit diseases, nor do they damage structures or belongings. Their main defence is to curl up and sometimes secrete a fluid that can cause mild skin irritation for some people, but they are otherwise harmless.

What does a millipede turn into?

Millipedes do not undergo metamorphosis. They hatch as small versions of adults and grow by molting through various stages, gradually adding body segments and legs, remaining millipedes throughout their life.
