    Hello all, I just wanted to share the website myself and some friends have been working on for some time now. If anyone has feedback for it that would be appreciated, and as this is a crowd-sourced site we are always looking for more information and photos from experienced people to post on the site (with accreditation of course). Guessing by how much we cite this forum and other German websites much of what is on there may not be new, ha ha, but still wanted to share :).

    The Millipede Enthusiast Database.

    Thanks,

    Postscript: Apologies for my lack of German, ha ha. I'd use a translator but that tends to mess up the wording egregiously.

    With the Apeuthes Orin offers we can be sure those have not been brought back to the US since the 1990s. These newer ones popping up as caudulanus are from somewhere else, probably a European breeder.

    And yes, I can see why he respects Dr. Hoffman so much. We lost a lot here in North America with him and Shelley passing away.

    Thanks,

    This is the species commonly available in the USA. It is sold under the names "Apeuthes sp" and "Thai Rainbow millipede" [attach = '19888', 'none', 'true'] [/ attach]

    [attach = '19889', 'none', 'true'] [/ attach]

    [attach = '19891', 'none', 'true'] [/ attach]

    [attach = '19890', 'none', 'true'] [/ attach]

    It has been available here as captive bred since the late 1990s. Unfortunately, the local collection has been long forgotten.

    I think there is actually two species; Apeuthes sp., Or the "Thai Rainbows", which are darker in coloration (and may be one of the variants mentioned above, though Orin McMonigle seems to hold in Millipedes in Captivity that they are, actually, Apeuthes) and then there are these Spirobolus caudulanus, which is now Atopochetus caudulanus and is lighter in coloration. As far as I can gather they are distinct from each other, but there isn't much information out there.

    Thanks,

    Hello all, here in the US getting exotic millipedes legally is a bit more tricky than just buying them from an online seller. I am currently working to amend my current permits to keep and breed exotic species (i.e anything found outside of the US) and add more species/genera families; all that's to say I am trying to get as many species/genera/families in with this amendment as possible so I don't need to redo it again, at least for a while.

    So, am I missing any species/genera that are kept in the hobby/have a chance of coming into the hobby soon? I have attached my (somewhat messy) list below. I know some names have changed, and I am still working on that.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.
