Giant African Millipedes have become very rare since it became illegal to export them from the wild. My advice to anyone looking to get a millipede is to get a Glossy Black Pink Leg (Dendrostreptus macracanthus). They are easy to care for, cheap, very active, and a lot of fun to hold. I ordered 2 of them last summer and they are a great species.
@ghostygirlmn why are you complaining about wild animals being abused when young girls and women around the world are being captured and traded, then drugged and then used in the most horrible way. And you're complaining and whining that the millipedes deserve to be free?! WTF!?
@dambo626 probably because millipedes are more important and much more valuble to the earth than humans when you can understand that the earth is being ravaged and destroyed by humans tell me
It's like he says "They barely even use their stingers" then, "AHHHHHHH OWWWWWW!!!!! OH MY GOD IT STUNG ME!!!!!" ok it's ok, "It's not very strong, similar to a honey bee"...he dies...
Is actually a Giant AFRICAN millipede!!! Not south american! And the mites can actually be harmful if there are too many! :) make sure u change the South American to African :)
@emoboy5591 look online with google maps and call your local pet stores to see if they carry them. Have a tank ready for the scorpion before you buy it. make sure you research the scorpion you want before you buy it. think long and hard before deciding if it is the right pet for you.
Please Note: Wild animals are not pets. If you should ever find a baby animal, or are offered a wild animal... call your local Department of Natural Resources to find a wildlife rehabilitation center. Wildlife does not belong in houses. It is wrong to keep a wild animal. Do what is right, and let someone who knows about these animals raise and release it back into the wild. DO NOT PURCHASE wild animals, you would be contributing to 'farming' animals, which leads to abuse and neglect. Thank You.
@ClythiaMystica it is very sad that people like you think the way the do... if only you could see the world from my eyes... you would understand. Us humans are very scary individuals... we will wreck this earth and some of the species in no time with poeple like you thinking the way you do.... very sad.
@ghostygirlmn people actually take better care of wild animals. A desert scorpion will live 20+ years in captivity while in the wild it will live about 5. Know your facts before you come to a video to be irritating.

@ghostygirlmn no it does not lead to abuse and neglect..... this is the same thing as a family, any responsible person is gonna take care of their kids well, this goes for exotic pet enthusiasts too, if they are responsible they take care of their animals... my suggestion is that you stop fighting again animal neglect cause there isnt much, and you start fighting against child abuse because there is much more and its a much worse offense

@ghostygirlmn people keeping wild animals doesnt lead to abuse..irresponsible people do..if it was a big problem with abuse there would be laws regulating animal trades. plus ur facts just make u look like a retard...i love animals 2 but im not going around with an undeserved sense of pride...get ur head out of ur ass...if u wanna bitch about this stuff type a blog and leave us youtubers alone...dont bother writing back cuz i wont read it

ANYONE WHO BRINGS A GIANT MILLIPEDE FROM THE JUNGLE TO MY TOWN DESERVE A SLOW PAINFUL DEATH... I FUCKING HATE THOSE FUCKERS... i would rather have a bear in my room than a giant millipede (it could even be a giant bear for all i care)
I would also rather have a bear in my room than a fucking millipede. I just smeared one of those fuckers on my wall. The goddamn asshole had claws coming out of its ass
Minus: They are absolutely disgusting pets that have huge pinsors and a bee-stinger, with 8 fidgety legs writhing around and god help you if you turn it over because its like a clockwork of a dozen legs flailing in the air.... get a hamster people!
But often, life in captivity rapidly leads to pain and death for these animals, who can easily suffer from malnutrition, an unnatural and uncomfortable environment, loneliness, and the overwhelming stress of confinement.
Well what the fuck are you gonna do, they're already in the fucking pet store, its not like you're going to spend the 2000 dollars to fly them back to Africa, if you were to buy them they would survive better than if you left them in these malnourishing stores.
lol , they dont think.. they live off instinct.. they dont get lonely..and they dont feel stress....this isnt a disney pixar film where bugs have emotions and secret lives lol........My scorpion is fat and healthy, they are cool pets
LIke i mentioned in the "Expert" village vid for caring for emperors scorps, the guy in that vid said they coem from asia when theyre from africa, the same thing has happened in this vid with the millipede, these millipedes again come from tropical africa, some fuckin experts eh lol
there are other species of giant millipedes some come from Asia,Africa,south and central America so maybe you...should do some expert research of your own.
@madmanis12345 well dude by knowing the anatomy of the mandible and the fact you can hunt them with uv flashlights you OF COURSE know what substrate to use and what to feed it along with tank size and watering needs duh
@ProffesorChaosesFile Umm yeah, knowing anatomy only raises even more questions. So what if I know the anatomy of the mandible? But how am I suppose to know what bugs that it can and cannot eat/kill with its pincers/mandible? Young scorpions around the age of about 6 months to 1 year should not eat meal worms or crickets without chopping off the heads first because it will damage their intestines, resulting death.. Now how am I suppose to deduce THAT from the information this guy gave me?
@ProffesorChaosesFile Also, no, you can't "OF COURSE know what substrate to use" because this guy stated that the exoskeleton of a scorpion reacts to UV lights.
Substrate has to be water retentive, to keep humidity. Water should not be over 1/4 to 1/2 of an inch or the scorpion can drown.Tank size needs to be small, or scorp cant catch food
Now please explain how this info was in the video. This guy didn't teach shit on caring for a scorpion, and my comment isnt top rated for no reason.
"Water should not be over 1/4 to 1/2 of an inch or the scorpion can drown."
It can be over that as long as there is a way to get out of the water, emperors are known to take fully submersed baths. I've personally seen one of mine lay inside his water dish fully submersed for over a minute then calmly crawl out.
But you're right, this guy didnt talk about caring for a scorpion at all.
no they cant sting.. they can bite but not in defence they only bite when hungry.. they make GREAT pets for little kids and adults they also only eat veggies/fruit
Haveing and emperor scorpions means doing research on how to take care of it, and if you can't even spell it means you haven't done any research and dont know how to take care of it
