From Nigeria to you: All about the new discovery Millipedus aurantiocephalus virens
Millipedus aurantiocephalus virens, a real novelty in the world of terraristics. This millipede originates from the lush forests of Nigeria and has not yet been scientifically described, making it a real rarity for collectors and hobbyists.
With its impressive length of up to 20 cm and a slender physique reminiscent of the well-known Spirostreptus spec. 1, it is guaranteed to attract everyone’s attention. Its striking colour scheme with green and black stripes on the body and bright orange legs, head and antennae make it a highlight in any terrarium.
In its natural environment, it prefers moist and shady places. To provide it with a good home, you should furnish its terrarium with plenty of organic material such as leaves and rotten wood. Keep the temperature constant between 24 and 28 degrees Celsius and ensure high humidity to create optimal conditions.
As a new species in the terrarium hobby, the Millipedus aurantiocephalus virens not only offers you something visually special, but also the opportunity to keep something truly unique. It is ideal if you want to add a fascinating and peaceful species to your collection.
