Are you doing anything different in there setup (substrate, temp, humidity, diet ect) to see if any of these are a factor for breeding? Sorry don't mean to hijack the thread here I'm just curious lol. I would agree with everyone else and say O. Texicolens would be the longest American...

Sounds to me like we need to work on this problem lol. If anyone could find a way to breed these it's gotta be someone on this forum...I know a pet store ain't gonna get it done ;)

You really got an eye for them eggs lol...so so tiny:D

Awsome pedes that color is beautiful. I have lived my whole life in Texas and have traveled all around the state and have yet to find one of these or any large pede for that matter. I'm a very avid log/rock tipper even...lots of huge centipedes...but no Millis :/

Moon valley friendship plant is doing great in my tank with ivorys they nibbled at everything except that one and a small maidenhair fern as well...my only defense against millipedes eating my plants is more supplemental foods...cucumber, leftover fish food or bearded dragon food in my case. At...

I did this for a bit and everything got along fine...I now have two hisses in with my ivory vivarium and everyones happy.

Been awhile since an update this has turned out to be one of my favorite tanks to date. They only nibbled a few leaves here and there at the beginning but that just seemed to help the plants grow faster...the micro fauna I have in this tank is thriving as well. All in all this is by far my...

I got my first millipede from petco ...an African giant black back in 2005. He just passed recently from a tragic fall unfortunately but I have him and petco to thank for igniting my passion for myriapods. Glad to hear there back at it.

Dibs!! Lol :) Congrats...I envy your entire collection but for me these take Tha cake.

Awsome scrubs:happy: Been thinking of getting these as well...from the same site! Good to have a positive review.

Now in no way would I ever say lawnshrimp is wrong for he has great knowledge of all things myriapod. But are there not rivers and streams in AGB natural habitat...I understand that the large majority are living in dryer conditions away from water but I'm sure there are some wild colonies living...

And you are doin just fine with your English...I understood you completely :)

Sounds like a cool idea...I know that many millipede keepers have had there millipedes drown in a water bowl that they could not get out of so your transition to water would need to be very gradual as you previously stated. Also make sure nothing is extended over the water were they could climb...

THE EGG! Lol Can't wait to see what ya got there.

Does this apply for micro and dwarf species of isopods as well? I just couldn't imagine how those tiny guys could do so much damage to such a large millipede (even babies) I also have isopods in one of my enclosures and am wondering if I need to do the same.

Sorry for your loss :(

That is awesome! I love this millipede can't wait to start a colony of my own...keeping um strong and healthy in the us :)

Awsome thanks for the write up.

Wow thanks for the tip...this stuff seems awsome. How do you go about fermenting yours?
