Is there a list of safe plants for millipedes? I couldn't really find much. Also, are the leaves from sugar pea plants safe for millipedes to eat? I have a ton of plants that I'm taking down, and I was wondering if I could give some to the pedes.

All 10 of mine confirmed dead. I did see a few tunnels, so HOPEFULLY there are eggs. How long does it take for millipede eggs to hatch in general? I'll keep my tank misted just in case, these were the coolest things ever when they were alive.

Most of mine died. Some did burrow before they died though, so hopefully they laid eggs. I do have a few left though.

I'm hoping my hardier ones breed, since they seem to be surviving whatever killed off the others. They were all wild caught though, and could have very well had problems already, and the relocation was the straw that broke the camel's back. I did order quite a few, keep in mind. :)

I have not checked, but I'll try to get a look at them. I confirmed 3 deaths, and possible one other, but it's a burrowed one, so I can't tell without digging it up. 4 are confirmed living, and I never see them burrow more than half body with their backs sticking out, but they do like to clump...

Our house is around 76-80 through the day/night. We can't do any lower without skyrocketing the electric bill. And that is sad about the dying after laying eggs :0 I do hope to get some babies! Will babies be ok in the hardwood chunk substrate as well? Or do they need something else?

Does anyone know if they only glow when they're awake? I have 2 buried under the substrate that I can see through the tank wall, but they don't glow like the ones walking around do. I'm hoping they're not dead, but I don't want to disturb them to find out in case they're molting or something.

If you're having trouble seeing the glow, it seemed for me that they did take a few minutes to get the glow to appear, probably about 10-20 minutes for me to see, and it had to be pitch black in the room. But they did have a very heavy glow for me once my eyes adjusted to it and it was super...

LOL well hopefully they stop dying before I can get some babies

Yup, the hardwood chunk substrate. So, I do have what seems to be 2 casualties :( It was not the dark one, though! Two of the smaller ones just stopped moving and I tried prodding them, but they did not move at all except a tiny leg wiggle. Pretty sure they are not going to make it. In...

Thank you :) Yes, I know a lot of people were worried about them arriving alive due to their weather, but if they can survive my weather, your guys' should be OK :D I have yet to see them glow, but they are really awesome just so far. They love crawling on top of each other and make like a...

That's what I thought when I got her out of the box, but she's been super active all day. She isn't half curled or unable to move her back legs like my other millipedes had done when they were dying. It looks almost as if she's been injured and that is just how she ended up, since she does...

Hello everyone! Mine have arrived today :) I ordered 10. I had a hard time sexing them, but I THINK I have at least 3 males, unless some are just missing legs. It has been about 92-103 degrees here, but they all arrived alive. They were shipped with a cold pack. They're very active, and...

You might try looking up their location and trying to replicate that.

motyxia, the bioluminescent ones

I ordered 10 of the motyxia, really hoping they come alive since there's no live guarantee for them :(

Thank you guys! I've order a few flat millipedes, hoping to get at least one male this time around :)

is there an easy way to sex millipedes? How do you get them to reveal their underside to see the legs? My deserts were long enough to stand up and I could see the top half of their body through the tank, but smaller ones I'm not sure what would be the most efficient way to do this.

I had no idea! Good info. I've only ever seen them eat their own shed skins.

I was told they can't bite! I could have sworn one of my smoky oaks was trying to bite me when I first got it XD
