African Giant Black Millipedes Large and hardy, these Giant
Millipedes make perfect exotic pets. Caution should be taken
when handling not to drop them, as they are heavy compared to
other species. What does the African Giant Black Millipede look
like? These giant millipedes are one of the biggest that you can
own, growing to an impressive size of 200-240mm (8-10 inches)
when adult. When the millipedes are walking, they are black in
colour but once curled up they have a tint of red/brown within
the segments. Their head and legs are also a red/brown colour. I
would say that this species is the best for kids to own due to
the size. Where are African Giant Black Millipedes from? Found
in parts of Africa. Being a ground dweller, millipedes hide
during the day under stones and fallen timber. They are active
at night, when searching for foods. Provide a temperature of
20-26C (68-78.8F), room temperature will be fine. Spray half of
the tank a few times a week to keep humidity level at 60-75%. If
the humidity is high
