A fascinating and highly sought-after millipede for keepers looking to work with something a little different. Brachycybe sp. Vietnam are currently offered as wild-caught specimens, making them a particularly interesting addition to a specialist invertebrate collection.
These millipedes appear to favour environments containing leaf litter, decaying organic material and limestone, with kinshi-style substrate/materials also seeming to be well accepted. Providing a deep, established substrate with plenty of natural food sources and areas to hide will help recreate the conditions they experience in the wild.
As these are currently wild-caught, establishing them in captivity and encouraging successful breeding is an exciting opportunity. The more keepers who work with and successfully maintain this species, the greater the potential for captive-bred specimens to become available in the future.
Whether you're an experienced millipede keeper or someone looking to add a genuinely unusual species to your collection, Brachycybe sp. Vietnam is a fascinating species with plenty of potential for dedicated keepers.
