If you're concerned about including parent feces in the new enclosure...just transfer some of the old substrate with them to the pling enclosure. Like even half and half. I would have no problem at all separating them! When I changed substrate I collected all the millipedes out of the...

Very large one! (5-6" depending on what one is measuring) Crawling about approximately 9 PM. Upon closer inspection appears was devouring another (smaller) S. heros -- didn't know they were that cannibalistic! PM if interested

"Doesn't bite anymore"...OMG...I mean, that's great, but how many bites did you suffer?

@Ungoliant Found it in the Texas panhandle, near Lake Meredith

Make that 3,122 species!

@boina thanks for the ID!! I was wondering. Went to the wiki page which stated there were over 300 species...and I didn't look any further lol

@NYAN I think it's the time of year. In the last 2 weeks: 3. Previously, 0

And...another!! 3.5" Just running across the road in broad daylight, nearly on my property. I saw a flash of color...fire...yellow and orange...it was quite beautiful. It must be the weather. Too bad about the antenna. Posted in classifieds, prior 2 have homes

This one is massive

Love it Rus!

Any idea on species?

Wow! Looky, so brave!...can you expound a bit on your handling methods and habits? Beautiful critters!!

Smart cookie you, taking our good advice! :D LMAO!

Try the "warm" temperature setting if there is one? That's exactly what I did. I'd leave it in for 5 hours or so...basically for a decent time until whenever I got around to pulling it out. In all honesty though, if you go the 200° route and the wood is just supplemental...read...not the major...

1, 2, 3, 4: yes, although the bark, I would probably break off and just incorporate in the substrate so they have access to the inside directly 5 I wouldn't bake it at so high a temp, maybe like 130-150 just to kill whatever survived the freeze. Too high and you kill all the bacteria and fungus...
