Spirobolus bungii
Spirobolus • Spirobolidae
A hardy Chinese millipede from cooler mountainous country, so keep it on the cool side (below ~70°F) — it does poorly when too warm. Otherwise standard detritivore care: moist substrate with leaf litter and rotten wood, plus fresh fruit/veg (it favors cucumber, melon, and banana) and cuttlebone for calcium. Readily kept, though consistent captive breeding can be tricky.
