Thyropygus allevatus

Thyropygus allevatus is one of the largest Asian millipede species with a total length of up to 30 cm. The dark brown base colour offers a beautiful contrast to the light brown segment rings.

 

The animals are very robust and do not cause any problems even for beginners. The substrate should have a height of at least 10 cm. This way the animals can bury themselves shortly before moulting and carry out the moulting process undisturbed. The humidity should be between 75-95% so that the animals feel comfortable. Climbing opportunities should also be offered at all times. These are also gladly accepted by the strong animals and at the same time they are great to watch. It is best to place the branches in the empty terrarium and then fill it with substrate. This provides a secure hold and there are no dangers.

 

Thyropygus allevatus can also be bred with a little patience and become sexually mature at 3-4 years.
