⚠️ Shipping Update – Heatwave Delays

Due to the ongoing UK heatwave, we've temporarily paused shipping of all live livestock and plants to ensure they arrive safely.

The good news is that temperatures are forecast to drop significantly next week, and we'll be resuming dispatches.

Current dispatch schedule:

  • Orders placed 29th June – 5th July: Dispatching Monday.
  • Orders placed 6th July – 12th July: Dispatching Tuesday & Wednesday.
  • New orders placed from today: Dispatching from 27th July.

We've built up a large backlog during the heatwave, so we're bringing in additional staff and implementing a new workflow to get orders out as quickly as possible.

We sincerely apologise for the delay and thank you for your patience. The welfare of our livestock and plants will always come first.

If you would prefer not to wait, we're happy to offer a full refund. Simply get in touch and we'll arrange this for you.

Thank you for your understanding,

Adam & the MicroExotics Team

Description

The Red Legged Millipede ( Epibolus pulchripes ) is a striking African species, instantly recognisable by its glossy black body contrasted with bright red legs. Growing to around 12–14 cm, they are one of the more colourful and active millipedes in the hobby.

They thrive in warm, humid enclosures with a deep, nutrient-rich substrate, abundant leaf litter, and rotting wood. These peaceful detritivores are excellent recyclers, helping to break down organic matter while adding movement and colour to terrariums. Colonies breed steadily in captivity when provided with stable conditions and a healthy diet.

Hardy, eye-catching, and easy to care for, the Red Legged Millipede is an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced invertebrate keepers looking to add a vibrant and functional species to their collection.
