Hey everyone,
I'm more of a reptile enthusiast as you can see by my name. So i thought i'd ask you guys. What the approximate lifespan of a millipede? One of those big ones not those little itsy bitsy ones. Are there any that just live less than a year or so?

I bought a Giant African Millipede (a.gigas) that was 6" long. It took 5 more years for it to get reach 11" long. How many years a giant millipede live till it dies, that is a good question, but all i know is this particular one i got was 6" and live for 5 more years. Well, after it got to 11" long, it lived for another year, then it died. So this same pede lived for 6 years. So this pede lived for 6 years. I have other pedes, but they were already full size and only live for about 2-3 years. Hope this information helps and gives you an idea how long giant pedes live..Robt.
