    Verhoeff's Pill Millipede (Rhopalomeris verhoeffi) is a compact, glossy pill millipede for keepers who want a small species with a distinctive rounded look. It is a good choice if you are drawn to the tight, pill-like defence shape and are happy to keep a more secretive millipede rather than one that is often out in the open.



    Is Verhoeff's Pill Millipede right for your setup?


    This species suits keepers who want a neat, polished-looking millipede and are prepared for lower visibility than with more surface-active species. Its compact size can make it practical in a carefully set-up enclosure, but the trade-off is that it may spend long periods under the substrate or under cover.


    For a broader comparison between pill millipede types, the Pill Millipedes collection is the best place to start. If you want a wider overview of millipede options, the Millipede Species Guide is a useful fallback.


    When buying this species, think first about the enclosure you already have or are ready to prepare. A deep layer of organic substrate, leaf litter, decaying wood and suitable moisture are the main practical points that affect whether it will settle well. It is a better fit for keepers who are happy to build the setup around the animal rather than expect a highly visible display species.


    For a quick compare with similar options, the Yellow Tiger Pill Millipede (Hyleoglomeris Longkerdae) offers a different look, while the Lanna Giant Pill Millipede (Zephronia lannaensis) may appeal if you want a larger pill millipede.



    What to expect once it arrives


    After transport, it is normal for pill millipedes to keep a low profile while they settle in. Reduced surface activity does not usually mean there is a problem, since these animals often choose to stay underground or under cover.


    A calm, established enclosure is more important than decoration. Stable moisture, a suitably deep substrate and plenty of organic matter are the main things that help this species settle and behave naturally.


    If you want a compact pill millipede with a glossy finish and can accept that it may not be highly visible, Verhoeff's Pill Millipede is a strong, specialist choice.
