Millipedes

I am getting 4 millies on Thursday as part of a trade. I've read some millipede caresheets and I'll get their setup ready tomorrow, does anyone here actually keep them though?

There are an awful lot of Millipede sp, if you let people know what sp you are getting it may help with relevant replies to help you out

one giant African train millipede
one African chocolate millipede and 2 olive millipedes.

I used to keep them, but some wench called Lisa swapped them with me for a Metallica sling lol

Oi cheeky sod

The place where i used to volunteer had a giant tanzanian millipede and i was the only person who would handle it after some kids got it out and it squirted him and his hand swelled up . I never had a problem with it unless it attached itself to my clothes

The black one squirted me a bit when I tried a bit too hard to get it to unroll, so I now have purple fingers. I washed it straight off and I didn't have any reaction to it. It smelt like that iodine stuff they clean wounds with in hospitals.

I'm looking for a male companion for the choccy one, but have had no luck sourcing one yet.
