{"product_id":"trigoniulus-corallinus-rusty-millipede","title":"Rusty Millipede (Trigoniulus corallinus)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Rusty Millipede (\u003cem\u003eTrigoniulus corallinus\u003c\/em\u003e) is a reddish cylindrical millipede with a long history in tropical regions. Published research records the species widely across Southeast Asia and reports adults at around 5 cm, giving buyers a useful sense of scale when comparing it with larger millipedes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts enclosure should be built around the substrate rather than surface decoration. Leaf litter and decomposing organic material form part of the feeding environment, while usable substrate depth gives the millipede somewhere to burrow, rest and moult. Our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/millipede-species-care-guides\/rusty-millipede-care-guide\"\u003eRusty Millipede Care Guide\u003c\/a\u003e covers the species in more detail, while the \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/complete-millipede-care-guide\"\u003eComplete Millipede Care Guide\u003c\/a\u003e explains the broader husbandry framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRusty Millipede or Leptogoniulus sorornus?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are comparing similar-looking cylindrical millipedes, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/leptogoniulus-sorornus\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eLeptogoniulus sorornus\u003c\/em\u003e Millipede\u003c\/a\u003e is a useful species to view alongside the Rusty Millipede. They are separate species, so their similar overall body form should not be taken to mean that every aspect of their care, behaviour or adult appearance is identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rusty Millipede is the more extensively documented of the pair. That makes it easier to give a firm scientific identity and useful published context without relying on hobby assumptions. Whichever species you choose, have the enclosure prepared before arrival and judge it by the habitat you can provide rather than appearance alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePrepare the substrate before arrival\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the Rusty Millipede, aim for an organic, moisture-retentive substrate that stays damp without becoming waterlogged or stagnant, with plenty of leaf litter available as the enclosure matures.
