Benoitolus siamensis is a small, slender arboreal species, living mostly on trees. Benoitolus siamensis millipedes are always found near the beach in Thailand. There they live on trees and like to stay in branch forks filled with humus and leaves. They also prefer to lay their eggs there and the offspring spend the first time in this place. You can simulate such places in the terrarium and observe whether the animals accept them. Their base color is dark grey with yellow-orange bands and orange legs.
Benoitolus siamensis millipedes have the unique characteristic of reflecting a stunning electric blue color under UV light! UV-365 nm specifically.
Benoitolus siamensis, millipede care
Size: adults may reach a length of 60 mm.
Activity: mostly night active.
Diet: lichen, moss, fruits, veggies, greens, fish flakes, decaying leaves, rotting white wood, lime, and they love eating carrot sticks and dried fruit bites. They also enjoy the weekly insect jelly.
Terrarium: the depth of the substrate should be at least a little deeper than the total length of an adult millipede; because when they molt they need to go deep in the substrate and disappear for about a week to molt their skin.

FAQ
I have read somewhere that isopods can threaten millipedes during molting. Is that true?
That’s not a serious threat for the millipedes, if you avoid certain isopod species known to be aggressively prolific (such as Porcellionides pruinosus and Porcellio laevis). I’ve had Cubaris isopods in my millipedes containers for years and there has never been a problem.
Can I keep millipedes together with hissing cockroaches, or other cockroach species?
Personally, I never keep cockroaches together with millipedes. Cockroaches eat anything and can eat millipede eggs. Also, both species produce a lot of frass. So they need a large enclosure.
