"Normally the shongololo grows to a length of between 15 cm and 30 cm. The young are found when they are between 5 cm and 8 cm on length. Although they have appear to have thousands of legs, they only have a few hundred. It is not possible to say how many legs the millipede grows, as the shongololo grows additional segments and legs. As the millipede grows, it sheds its outer skin."

Most millipedes eat decaying leaves and other dead plant matter, moisturizing the food with secretions and then scraping it in with the jaws. However, they can also be a minor garden pest, especially in greenhouses where they can cause severe damage to emergent seedlings. Signs of their damage include the stripping of the outer layers of a young plant stem and irregular damage to leaves.
