Tanzanian earthworm care

[spasskgirl]

Consider getting this species but I haven't been able to find a care guide anywhere. Any recommendations on keeping & breeding them?

Have you tried Google??
I've just typed in "Tanzanian earthworm" and git a load of caresheets returned.

I looked through several search pages but I haven’t found anything related to care for them.

IF the scientific name is `Spirostreptus brachycerus`, then the following might help:

I've sent you a care sheet, check your inbox. Hopefully it will help you. I haven't posted the link on this thread as it's from another site and the rules on AB seem to not allow for this.

Thank you!

Thank you! Also it’s fine to quote and link other resources, I read here they frown on direct advertising of some product.

Linking to a care sheet or care information is perfectly fine. We do not allow links to vendor websites or any websites that sell.

You could also send us the link privately and we can always let you know if it is permitted or not.

Unfortunately it's a care sheet on a UK dealers site.

Always use the scientific name when researching. I suspect you’re referring to Sprirostreptus sp.1 ‘Tanzania’ here. Care is similar to other tropical millipede species.

I suspect
Spirostreptus brachycerus was referred to, not the Olive Banded millipede.

You might be right. I thought sp.1 was also referred to as Tanzanian earthworm. This is why common names are useless imo. Care is pretty much the same though.

Macrolenostreptus brachycerus rather seems to be the species you are looking for (it is known as the Tanzanian Earthworm millipede). Spirostreptidae sp. "1" is known as the Tanzanian Globular millipede or something to that effect.

Thanks,
