Millipedes are regularly used as "hands on" teaching aids by many educators around the world.
Interesting facts:
The desert millipede is a very simple creature that will keep to itself unless bothered or feels threatened.
It will curl up into a ball, or coil, when it is disturbed.
Sometimes it may even release a noxious substance out from the side of its body, or more specifically, through glands that are on top of its legs.
This liquid smells and tastes bad. It is toxic to anything that might eat it.
This liquid can irritate the skin of a human and will definitely irritate the eyes.
Having said that children should be supervised, and hands washed after handling.
Did you know...millipedes can live for a long time, up to ten years.
They get along together and are active and entertaining.
One of the great conveniences about keeping millipedes as pets is how easy they are to feed.
Background:
Range:  Throughout North America and South America, generally in warm areas.
Type:    Terrestrial but will burrow to some extent.
Diet:     Babies and adults eat romaine lettuce, apples, cucumbers, and other fruits and vegetables.
Millipedes should have a supply of calcium added to their diet, like calcium powder, which is very good for their exoskeleton
Full Grown Size:   to about 5 inches.
Growth:   Medium speed.
Temperature: 75 to 85° F.
Humidity:    75 to 80%.
Temperament:   Docile and calm.
Housing:
They require good ventilation.
Substrate:   3 to 4 inches of coconut fiber and some sand.
This Is Important
Millipedes require calcium for their exoskeletons.  This is a must if you want your millipede to have a long healthy life.  Without calcium their exoskeletons cannot develop properly.
