    AHHH now I'm horribly confused. How do I know if I have Mardonius or Archispirostreptus??? I didn't even realize there was a similar looking species. Although if thats the way that Mardonius lay eggs, I guess mine are Mardonius All my millipedes were purchased as Giant African Blacks from...

    I saw my first AGB millipede baby today!!!

    I have never kept isopods with my millipedes. Years ago when I first started keeping pedes the thinking was that isopods were bad with the pedes. Although if I recall correctly it was because people thought the isopods might collapse dirt on top of the new born pedes and squish them, not because...

    I saw my first AGB millipede baby today!!!

    If you see one baby, odds are there are many more. The babies stay buried until they reach a certain size. If you put a piece of apple with something on top (piece of cork, plastic, water bowl, ect) and check back in a day or two you might see some of the babies on the apple. I do not...

    Hatched some Cave Crickets!!

    Whats interesting about the color is I havn't seen any of them white, like when they are freshly molted and white. Odds are of course just bad timing that I havn't seen one, but its strange. The nymphs are so far very very hardy, I still only have a dozen but havn't lost any. I'm feeding...

    Hatched some Cave Crickets!!

    I'm just raising them for fun, if they start to produce enough to actully feed off I would, but thats a long while off. Literature suggests these take a long time to mature. So I think overall they will be to slow of breeders and to slow to grow to be useful as a regular food item. Also I...

    Hatched some Cave Crickets!!

    They lay the eggs in soil. I keep a small cup of damp dirt in their enclosure, and every other day or so I dump the soil and eggs into a deli cup and give them fresh dirt to lay more in
