They are an easy pet too. They don’t use a lot of space, they are easy to take care of and don’t have high requirements. But how about the costs? Is a millipede cheap to keep, or rather expensive? So, the question that we will dive into here is: how much does a pet millipede cost to keep? Not only to purchase a millipede but all the essential costs to take good care of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n We calculated that on average, the initial costs to buy and keep a millipede is between $210 and $590.
