Description

The Pink Dragon Millipede ( Desmoxytes planata ) is one of the most extraordinary millipedes in the world, famous for its vivid hot-pink colouration and spiny, dragon-like appearance. Its striking looks make it one of the most desirable display invertebrates in the hobby.

Despite its beauty, this species is not for beginners. Desmoxytes planata can secrete cyanide compounds as a defense mechanism, requiring careful handling (no bare skin contact). They thrive in warm, humid enclosures with excellent ventilation, a deep substrate of decaying leaves and wood, and a steady supply of rotting plant matter for food.

With the right care, the Pink Dragon Millipede rewards keepers with one of the most unique and vibrant invertebrates available — a true showstopper species for advanced hobbyists.
