I need your ideas and expertise about this matter guys.. Recently I found 1 male earwig inside my millipede tank which have babies, eggs and juveniles(mix with parent). I worry if it possible that male earwig will be a threat for my baby millies like eat it or feed it. Another thing is I'm not...

thanks for the quick reply guys.. I'll try those methods and see what's my millies reaction. I'll try the fake plants too, maybe they will just leave it alone.

I really would like to put some greens(real plants) inside my millipedes 10gallon glass tank but it always ends up eaten, dug up, trample down and many more ways to disable the plants. I was so sure that it will be an awesome look-a-like jungle type terrarium but unfortunately my millipedes...

I remember making a set-up just like this when my first time replacing their enclosure from plastic to glass. It was so beautiful with all the greens, designs, moss etc. etc. then after a month my luxurious green scenery has become a desert look-a-like set up, no more greens just substrate...

hahaha you guys are lucky.. here in my country pet shops dont sell any exotic animals/insects not even spiders, scorpions or frogs hahaha, well they sell a lot of cats/dogs and fishes. we have so many big, beautiful different species of millipedes/centipedes but they are consider as pests. you...

I'm not a pro when it comes to millipedes but I know a little bit about them since I own a few. If it's a pathogen then it's more likely your millipede is already dead or having some issues, for what I see I think it is a small injury or a burn maybe.. since it is wild caught specie. For a small...

sharing my pic of the night, hope you like it guys. I seldom offer them cucumber as treats but when I do, this happens.... always. They like hug the thing, like a line in a sale mart, chewing it until its gone.

so he died of desiccation.. suggesting to add more substrate for them to burrow/dig and watch out for humidity next time. sorry for your loss.

awesome pics, nice tanks.. adding logs or rocks is very awesome, I've heard centipedes likes to squeeze their body in solid things like logs, rocks etc. and any mix substrate with sand is very good for them. Leaf litter inside tanks make it looks like a normal jungle floor.

I mix sand to all my substrate millipedes and centipedes. not purely sand but mixed with other things to produce a better substrate. hope this helps.

this is the first time I've heard about this kind of problem... got a lot of nematodes hanging at the sides of my tank before, I panic at first but when I observed them through lens they're crawling in the moist part of the tank, not sure if they're eating fungi or a threat to my pedes. I...

either way it will live as long as the availability of dead/rotten wood/leaf litter or other source of food is present. spray it with water to moist things up. hope this helps, good luck.

maybe this one is an old joke but it's funny for me. as a newbie in centipede hobbyist, just want to share it with you guys. =) Question: do centipedes sometimes eat itself? or a form of suicide?

My first guess was springtails too.

thanks for the advice guys, noted. I will try it later. And for the water dish, I really dont like putting water dish in their enclosure since the other one is not that big yet and the other is rather small specie... I'll continue spraying for moisture and leave a water dish for them if I leave...

thanks for the ID. not unlike millipedes that re-surface at night(I can watch them roam around), sometimes centipedes keep burrowed for some time. It's been days now since I saw them at the surface of the substrate even at night. I would like to feed them, maybe they are still not hungry. I did...

Thanks for the information. again, while collecting some rotten wood/leaf litter near a creek, caught this little fella. Super fast. This time I make sure to take a picture of it. centipede ID? It's different color than the other, different species or just a normal/common centipede(it's not that...

sad story. money come and go but true friendship is priceless. karma always comes around.

Hi guys, early this morning while collecting some rotten wood and leaf litter for my millies, I caught this juvenile(like a teenager) centipede. A friend of mine ID - Scolopendra Subsnipipes, in which he told me it will be likely get bigger as it grows(I'm not sure if he's just fooling me...
