Millipedes can live communally.
The tank should be twice as long, and at least as wide as the individual, or the largest millipede in the tank. Floor space is more important than height. Substrate 3 to 4 inches of potting soil and peat moss, kept moist. The African Giant Black Millipede may burrow, so depth is neccesary.
