Vietnamese Velvet Worms

Velvet Worms

Velvet Worms are some of the most unique invertebrates available in the hobby. These strange little creatures have a soft, velvety appearance and multiple small legs, giving them a look somewhere between a worm and a millipede.

They are active predators and use a sticky slime to capture small prey. Velvet Worms are best suited for experienced keepers, as they can be sensitive to drying out and environmental changes.

CARE INFORMATION

Velvet Worms require a humid enclosure with plenty of moss, leaf litter, and hiding spots. Their substrate should remain moist but never completely waterlogged. They should be kept away from excessive heat and fed appropriately sized live prey.
