Small, Colorful & Surprisingly Useful
Meet the CTWPets Scarlet Millipede, also known as Trigoniulus corallinus or the Rusty Red Millipede—a small, striking invertebrate that thrives in bioactive terrariums and doubles as a fun, low-maintenance educational pet.
This order includes a pack of 2 live millipedes shipped in a breathable 2oz container with paper towel and wood chip bedding. These millipedes are excellent at cleaning up decaying plant matter, leftover food, and waste in a humid vivarium setup—making them perfect members of your bioactive cleanup crew. Their bright red coloration adds visual flair while offering kids and beginners a fascinating, hands-on way to learn about nature.
What to Expect:
- 2x Scarlet Millipedes (juveniles or sub-adults)
- Arrives in a secure 2oz cup with bedding
- Our digital eBook care guide sent to your email (be sure to provide it at checkout)
These millipedes are non-aggressive and easy to handle, though they may release a defensive secretion when stressed. This liquid is harmless but can stain skin temporarily, so we recommend adult supervision and hand washing after handling.
Important Safety Info:
- Do not ingest – millipedes may release a mild defensive chemical when disturbed
- Never release into the wild – non-native species may harm local ecosystems
- Return to us free of charge if you can no longer care for them
Arrival Tip: Upon delivery, gently smell the container. If there is no strong rancid odor, the millipedes are likely alive. A mild earthy scent is normal. If concerned, reach out to us immediately.
Whether you're building a living vivarium, educating young learners, or looking for a low-hassle pet, CTWPets Scarlet Millipedes are a vibrant and practical addition to your setup.

Customer Reviews
I ordered 2 of the scarlet millipede and 2 of the bumblebee millipede when I finally got them after weeks the 2 scarlet millipedes where dead looked like someone chopped them up into pieces then stuck them in a package the 2 bumblebee arrived alive but after a day one died in the package was some kinda oil or something that covered everything in the package
One star because they were dead when they arrived
I've order 5+ times from the site and they have always been sold out. I got my order in 2 days with some healthy millipedes. Added them to my dart frog terrarium. Seen them around over the past couple days! Thanks for the trading cards too!!
The millipedes arrived quickly without any visible injury or deformities, with both are still going strong in their shared environment with Giant American Millipedes and Bumblebee Millipedes.
All millipedes looked great and started to move right after shipping!
