Florida Ivory Millipedes
(Chicobolus spinigerus) are incredibly popular among invertebrate enthusiasts.
Native to the southeastern
US, they are known for their striking cream-and-
black striped bodies and are widely considered
the best beginner pet millipedes 
Size: Grow to about 3.5 to 4 inches in length.
Lifespan: Can live for 5 to 10 years with proper care.
Speed: Not actually fast; they are slow, gentle cruisers that lumber along the forest floor.
Behavior: Highly surface-active, meaning they spend more time wandering out in the open than many other millipede species.
Diet: Detritivores that primarily eat decaying organic matter (leaf litter and rotting hardwood). They also appreciate supplemental vegetables, fruits, and a calcium source.
