Last weekend I went to a local park and collected 7 new Narceus annularis!
I didn’t feel too bad about taking that many because my wife and I counted at least 30 dead ones along the walking trails. It’s a shame that people would just carelessly crush them considering they are very easy to spot...
Hi,
So I’m currently keeping some Porcelio scaber in a shoebox sized Rubbermaid container and their population has exploded exponentially. Should I just get other similar sized containers and make other colonies or would they be ok in a large bin?
Unfortunately the insectarium is closed until next year, they are doing major renovations. I’m looking forward to seeing what they come up with! I live not too far from it so I’ve been a few times .
Sad to see Georges go. I met him once, his passion for insects reminded me of Steve Irwin’s...
Hi,
I caught my Narceus annularis mating this morning and I was wondering how soon do they lay eggs after mating? I wanted to take a pic but It’s dark where they are I did t want to disturb them too much.
Update! I found 4 today, I was going to get more but I thought 4 was enough to start with. Two were under very rotten logs, (one from an apple tree and the other a Maple) and the other two were literally crossing a path in the forest I was walking in.
The forest I was in is about 20 minutes...
Hi!
I’m interested in finding some N.americanus and I live in southern Quebec, Canada and was wondering if anyone knows a location to find some? It’s the only millipede that I’m legally allowed to keep unfortunately. Thanks!
I was wondering about that 2nd vid, could it be the scorpion was reacting to something the roach had emmited? I know that roaches are capable of defending themselves by emmiting a nasty smelling (and probably tasting) fluid.

I have heard of some freshwater crabs (in Africa I think) that actually reproduce like crayfish (or yabbies for you Phil :-) ) in that they carry their young underneath them. If this is the case with these little fellows then you might have some luck with breeding them!

Hi there!
I would like to get a few emperor scorpions which I will put in a 20 gallon tank using coconut earth and I want to have both a heat lamp and a heat pad/mat. Can any of you reccomend a good brand of heat pad/mat? Which do you find is the best to use? Thanks!
