    Predators that cohabitate with millipedes/gnat solutions

    Fungus gnats and fruitflies have different eradication methods. Try to google pictures of both so you come up with the best plan. For either, I let the enclosure dry our slightly and use sticky traps. Good luck - they are so annoying!

    Weird thing on my Milipede/Clown isopod enclosure

    What kind of millipedes? I agree, it is either frass (millipede poop) or eggs.

    White blotch on millipede

    I've seen these as "old age" spots. I've had different species get them and I have treated them with an athlete's foot medicine. You might be able to search for some pros and cons treating it here. I've had good results using it but it only slows it down; doesn't cure it. I would watch it for...

    Can millipedes eat natural sawdust?

    Yes, completely depends on tree species. "Hard" and "Soft" don't necessarily refer to the feel by touch of the wood but rather the resilience of the lumber it produces.

    Cat Ouched

    I'm glad to see an update and sorry for the frustration in learning more. But as long as Snit is an insufferable nuisance, he's doing his job and all is well!

    Planning on getting my first amphibian

    I have a Pixie frog. I love him because he is huge and easy, IMO to take care of. Not active unless he's eating. I have dart frogs. Super interesting to watch and the enclosures are beautiful to look at but they do have specific needs that must be met. I would not say they are hard to take...

    some isopods

    I love the werneri. I had never heard them called Greek Shield until you did. Going to look at alligators now…

    some isopods

    These are my favorites! They look like little spaceships tooling along the ground.

    Possible breeding, few questions just in case

    Agree! You won't get eggs.

    Would this type of enclosure be okay for poison dart frog pets?

    Definitely go with a company that has a better reputation! Most of UG (if not all) are wild caught. Dart frogs are 100% better CB. And I agree with all the posters who recommend live plants vs fake, A frog knows. Just ask them.

    My millipede collection

    So beautiful! If I was a millipede, I would want to live at Marika's!

    Ventilation help

    It doesn't look like enough ventilation to me. Also, baby scarlet and BB millipedes are tiny and could likely escape since your substrate is almost to the top. I generally leave about 6" (15 cm) at the top for circulation. Another consideration is the humidity of your room and the season. My...

    New Millipede Owner - Will I Ever See Them?

    Some millipedes stay on top more. I find Spirostreptid Sp 1, Ivories, A. gigas are among the best to stay on top.

    100% self-sustaining bioactive habitats?

    Size matters. To the OP - If you wanted to keep vertebrates, say even tiny mourning geckos, think of what they eat in a week. I'm not talking sealed, just "sustained" (as the Snark said). Think of the "circle of life factory" you would have to have to create this amount of food weekly and then...
