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 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...
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...
Here is a photo of my Giant African Blacks, showing a split egg with the zygote, and some early instars (although I'm not sure if its called instars in millipedes)
They will eat any fish food, I give tropical fish flakes to all my roaches & crickets
I believe there are like over 150 species in the Family Rhaphidophoridae (Cave Cricket family). I've seen mention online of them eating each other legs, but its hard to say which species(s) that is about...
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...
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...
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
I keep all my tree frogs on paper towel for substrate, its the safest for your frogs and easyest to clean. I would only use substrate if I was doing a naturalisic vivarium.
You do need substate for ground dwelling frogs and toads.
You can also place potted plants into the tank to increse...
m4illi17 - Your from Northern IL right.. Start checking the Dupage County Reptile Swap. http://www.allanimalexpo.com/
I know they had Ivory milllies, Ghana Red banded, the kind that Galapoheros posted from texas, I picked up a Flat Millipede, and I think there was at least one more species...
I hatched out a litter of CB Archispirostreptus gigas Babies Mid year 2003
Found eggs last month from those former babies,
Making their first breeding, and current age at 6yrs old.
I'd say they currently vary in size from 6" - 8", but I can make a point to get proper measurements if you...
