My small collection

Hi everyone from cold Russia)) and sorry for my english)
My name is Nick, I have a small collection of millipedes and I want just show it to you. If it will be interesting for someone I will continue write about it.

In Russia we have not so much species like in Europe yet but sometimes on sell appeares something interesting.

So at this moment I have 6 species.

1. Telodeinopus aoutii - common species in my country and my first millipedes.

2. Epibolus pulchripes - also common.

3. Pelmatojulus ligulatus - my young pair, male and female. WC from Ghana, I thing.

4. Xenobolus carnifex - from Sri Lanka. F1, adult animals 7-8 cm.

5. Tonkinbolus sp - it's undeterminated species from Vietnam. I think it's something on Tonkinbolus, but I can't id it. If you know who they are, please tell me)) Adult animals 8-9 cm, very strong smell and chemical protection.

6. Tonkinbolus dollfusi - asian rainbow millipedes. I have group of very young animals.

Before I had pair of Aphistogoniulus corallipes from Madagascar, group of Telodeinopus assiensis from Ghana, one Spirostreptus centrurus male from Indonesia. Now they are dead or live with new keepers.
It's all for now.

With respect, Nick

Hi Delia!

Thank you for you comment.
Yes, I have. Telodeinopus aoutii on photo - they are have offsprings. Also my Xenobolus carnifex group already adult and I'm waiting now))
I got my first animals in 2012. Since I read this forum

With respect, Nick

Hi everyone!

Some news from my terrariums on photos))

Last time I wrote that my Xenobolus carnifex already adults and I'm waiting for their children. But I could not think that they will appear so fast So on photos you can see some little babies. In actually now I have about 50 young animals, I think. Can't count them, they are very small - 5-6 millimeters.

And more one: new species in my sollection - Tonkinbolus caudulanus, WC from Thailand, 3 males and only one female They are young, the biggest male 7 cm. Bad photos, sorry, maybe later I do better.

With respect, Nick

Hi Delia!

Thanks))
Oh, it's cool I saw your topic with beautiful animals (and very nice closet :D). It's interesting to see your new pets!

With respect, Nick

Hi everyone!

Well, 1.5 years have passed since the last report. During this time, much has happened, but the biggest event was the loss of the entire collection of millipedes. I left my animals to a terrarium-friend, who for a short time could destroy them. when I got them back (or what's left of them), I have only 2 females: Telodeinopus aoutii and undeterminated species from Vietnam.

So now I'm collecting again and now the collection is even smaller than it was 1.5 years ago)))
For now I have:
1. Mardonius parilis acuticonus - young group
2. Xenobolus carnifex - young group
3. Telodeinopus aoutii - 1 female
4. Tonlinbolus sp. Vietnam - 1 female

It's all, I think. For now

With respect, Nick

Hi Tham!

I study at the Faculty of Biology and in the summer I left for a 1,5 month at the field practice and after I back to my hometown for a 3 week. I did not want to leave the animals alone and cold not take them with me so I asked him to take them while I was gone. He has snakes and spiders, so he knows what they need. Also I certainly explained to him what and how to do. But when I arrived, I could not get them back for about a month, he always avoided meeting. When I got them back, I realized that he did nothing: no water, no food, dry ground, parts of dead millipedes
This is the type of people who can take responsibility, but can't carry it. Unfortunately, I didn't know this about him before.

With respect, Nick.

1. Mardonius parilis acuticonus - juvenile group
2. Xenobolus carnifex - adult group

5. Epibolus pulchripes - young group

Quote from JoFeGo

wow, I dont even have 18 millipedes ,and you have 18 different species

I would really enjoy that many millipedes

Now i am exited for pictures

Johnny

Well, I just can't stop thank god i don't have much money for this, otherwise...

And most of them are small species, not giant)) Thank you)

With respect, Nick

Here some of my Isopoda.

Unfortunately, now I do not have a very good camera, so I’m take pictures on my phone and it’s not easy to do with small isopods. Thats why some photo not good quality.

Species names on photos, other species I have not photographed yet

Let me know if you want to see someone else from my list.

Quote from JoFeGo

I suffer with you, but in my case, its a matter of space, not money....

If i had more space I would probably drown in millipedes

Yeah, I'm almost run out of space. Now I take a look on my shelves with books, seems like I dont need it anymore

Some photos:

Another 3 species. Telodeinopus assiensis - they are young and small, so there’s nothing to look at yet, but adults will be awesome

Ophistreptus also young but already 12-13 cm. And Tonkinbolus... not sure how many I have

Quote from Waldfee

Please show us all of your species... and I love your cats

Thanks! These are my sister's cats) She has a cattery.

I hope I will be able to make new photos, but for now show the old ones)

With respect, Nick
