Oh my gosh, that flew over my head 😂 that’s funny

I’m not sure if I understand this question, if you could clarify what it means to stick them together, sorry 😅

Hello! I recently acquired a 20 gallon high tank in which I have about 5”-6” depth of substrate for ivory millipedes. I am trying to turn this into a bioactive tank as well, I have live plants and I recently introduced springtails. I am thinking about adding other species to cohabitate such as...

I’m not sure what the spectrum is, but I did end up returning it because the purple lights gave me a headache whenever they were on. I swapped it out with a white full spectrum grow light that looks like sunlight which looks a lot better and less headache inducing lol. Thank you for your reply...

Is this type of lighting harmful to my ivory millipedes? I wanted to get a light for the live plants in the vivarium, as it’s located in a dark corner of my room. If it is harmful, what is an alternative that will be good for both the plants and pedes?

2 new millipedes, Narceus Gordanus, added to a tank with 2 Ivories, 1 Narceus Americanus, and 1 Floyd’s scrub millipede (floridobolus floydi)

Looked again today and shes molting, her old exoskeleton came off and shes in the process of hardening :)

Put this millipede in my tank about 3 or 4 months ago, it immediately burrowed and I haven’t seen it since. Today I got curious as to why it never came back to the surface and looked at the bottom of the tank. It is against the glass so I can see it. Its a light brown color, so i cant tell if...

Aww ☹️ I’m sorry for your loss. This pede is also my favorite, I named her Dilly. I will be so sad if she passes away

I believe so, she’s about 3 inches long I think thats about how big they get as adults. She’s also darker in color and slightly smaller than the others (she was like that to begin with) so I’m wondering if she had some underlying problem that I never noticed. I got them almost 1 year ago in...

One of my florida ivory millipedes has been acting strange lately. She has been spending a lot of her time on the surface coiled, and I am afraid she might be weakened or dying. The others remain burrowed in the substrate and occasionally surface like normal. The millipede in question, however...

The millipedes also are due for a substrate change, as most of the soil has turned to poop. But I am afraid to clean it out in case if the millipedes are molting

I live in the US and I am looking for a (legal) rhino or stag beetle to keep as a pet. Which species lives the longest as an adult?

Thank you, I didn’t know that

About 3-4 months ago I had a couple millipedes delivered, a young female Narceus Americanus (about 2 inches long) and a one inch long Florida Scrub Millipede to add to my tank with 3 Ivories in it. Immediately after adding them to the tank the Narceus Americanus was a bit sluggish but burrowed...

I am interested in buying an adult stag beetle (dorcus alcides), but I am not sure if there is a website or someone who sells/breeds them.

I’m looking for other species of millipedes to keep with my 3 florida ivories. Has anyone kept a florida scrub millipede (floridobolus floydi)? I heard that they are rare so I would like to know how to properly care for it so it doesn’t die. I’m also considering a smoky oak millipede or narceus...

So for my millies I have been using Zilla Jungle Mix bedding, but I realized now that its a mixture of fir and peat moss, and I know that millipedes don’t like soft woods. But I have mixed in it a few bags of Zoo Med creature soil and also nepco bird and reptile litter which is basically just...

Thank you, I’ll most likely order them closer to spring time then when it gets around 50-60 degrees, the winter this year has been rough and temperatures are well below freezing

Hey guys this is my first time posting on here, anyways I have 3 female florida ivories in a 5 gallon tank with proper substrate and everything, I was wondering how many more millipedes I could fit in there without overcrowding. I was wondering if I could add a couple of narceus americanus...
