Millipedes for Sale UK

Discover our range of live millipedes for sale in the UK, from large and impressive giant millipedes to compact pill millipedes, unusual flat-backed species and varieties that react under UV light. Whether you are choosing your first pet millipede or looking for something completely different to add to your collection, you can compare our currently available species below.

Millipedes are fascinating invertebrates with a wide variety of sizes, colours, shapes and natural behaviours. Some have the familiar rounded body and steady movement most people associate with millipedes, while others are flatter, more heavily armoured or particularly striking in appearance. The best choice depends on what you enjoy observing and whether you can provide the conditions required by that species.

Choosing the Right Millipede

Start by considering the millipede’s adult size, appearance, activity and enclosure requirements. Larger species can make impressive display animals, while smaller or more unusual millipedes may appeal to experienced keepers building a varied collection. Some species are regularly visible on the surface, whereas others naturally spend more time burrowing through the substrate.

Care requirements can vary between species, so appearance should not be the only consideration. Check each product page for information about expected size, origin and individual care needs before ordering. Where millipedes are wild-caught rather than captive-bred, this will be clearly stated on the product listing.

If you are new to keeping millipedes, our Millipedes Buying Guide explains the main points to consider before choosing a species. It can help you compare different types of millipede and understand what to look for when buying your first animals.

Explore Different Types of Millipede

If you love the classic rounded shape and want a larger, more substantial animal, explore our Giant Millipedes. This collection brings together the larger cylindrical species that many people picture when they think of pet millipedes.

For something smaller and more heavily armoured, browse our Pill Millipedes. Their compact shape and ability to curl into a protective ball give them a very different appearance from traditional giant millipedes.

Our Flat-backed Millipedes have a lower, flatter profile and include some especially unusual shapes and colour patterns. They offer an interesting alternative for keepers looking beyond the more familiar cylindrical species.

You can also explore our UV Glow Millipedes for species that display a striking fluorescent reaction under suitable UV light. This effect is visible under UV illumination rather than ordinary darkness, making them an unusual addition to a specialist collection.

Prepare Your Millipede Enclosure Before Buying

A suitable enclosure should be fully prepared before your millipedes arrive. Millipedes do not simply live on top of their substrate: they burrow into it, shelter within it and obtain much of their nutrition from the decomposing natural material it contains. A shallow layer of decorative soil is therefore not enough.

Your setup will normally need an appropriately deep, nutritious substrate containing decayed wood and leaf material, together with suitable moisture, cover and ventilation. Exact requirements vary, so the enclosure should always be matched to the species you plan to keep.

Our guide to How to Set Up a Millipede Enclosure explains the foundations of a suitable habitat and will help you prepare before introducing your animals.
