I never put the geckos in. What about the plants?

Blowing on the substrate makes hundreds of them start crawling out.

These mites have been in my vivarium for months ever since I set it up. I've tried adding more springtails for food competition, mite spray(no animals in the viv), and nothing works. Any ideas?

Sorry for replying so late. It worked! Thanks so much!

Title says It all. Forgot to shut lid on enclosure when misting. The enclosure is on a bookshelf so I must have fallen off of it to be able to reach the ground. I thoroughly went through the substrate but only found 3 of the 4 that were in there. Any tips to find it?

Bagworms or tent worms? Bag worms usually feed on pine trees. You would have to change leaves every other day depending on how many you have. Have to keep well ventilated, if not mold will grow.

Ok thanks.

Oh, sorry. Here it is.

I don't know if it's a pseudoscorpion or a different invert.

Abraxas Complex has some Epiperipatus Barbadensis for sale.

This is the place to talk everything onychophora. There's a lot of interesting, and truthfully pretty weird, things about this amazing species.

I also approve this message!;)

So, hows the colony doing?

So, anything new? In about 4 weeks, the spider shop uk is selling some of the New Zealand species, probably peripatoides novilizealindae.

There are so many thing in nature that we don't know or havn't observed. It is really frustrating when you are expecting to find information, but no one has done any field observations.

How about giant pill millipedes? I have heard they are hard to keep. Any tips on keeping them, or any place to get them?

From research I have done it has been said a lot that "They feed on fresh decomposing wood, fungi and algae slime"

If they actually do feed on fungal patches, it would be pretty easy to propogate the fungus. If someone could isolate the microfauna, they could possibly propogate it just like springtails.

In that case, I will contact APHIS and ask if they are legal in Oklahoma.

They aren't illegal where I live because they cannot survive here. Giant African Land Snails are definitely illegal in the U.S. because they are considered an invasive species.
