I have noticed that my adult A. syriacus millipedes do this same behavior. I have 7-9 of them in a 29 gallon tank and they will make this huge mass in one corner of the tank when the tank gets to dry. It seems to me that mine do this in an attempt to achieve a higher humidity in their little...

I don't think it would hurt them to be honest! I always give my AGB millipedes and the rest of my millies a brand or reptile food mainly for turtles because it has a higher content of calcium in it, So i am sure that food wouldn't hurt them one bit.

Silk looks better and way more natural but plastics are way easier to clean. Just my opinion though!

Before adding any plants to invert tanks whether its centipedes, millipedes, spiders, etc you should research your specific species of millipedes habitats and natural distribution and see what plants naturally grow with them before adding them to your tanks. As a lot of tropical's are poisonous...

I would have to say that its a species of flat millipede! Also millipedes have 4 legs per segment (2 on each side to make a total of 4) Exception to the first couple segments. While centipedes have 2 legs per segment (one on each side) with antenna and poison fangs on the front. Most call them...

Any photos would be great so i can see exactly what you're dealing with.

Usually with birds of any kind (I think) the gender is determined by a vet they usually have to surgically sex the animals. At least with my lilac crown parrot we took them to a vet for sexing and he had to look at the internal working to tell us he was male. Not sure if its the same for Macaws...

I bought my starter culture from josh's frogs and he was wonedrful shipped quick and came for a decent price! They should work well with any inverts as far as i know. They don't harm babies or adults of any kind of animal and are barely noticeable unless you are really looking. If there's...

Hey no problem! If you have any other questions just let me know! I also add springtails to all my enclosures as they are a wonderful and harmless clean up crew for various molds, fungus, and waste products!

I don't see why not but i personally use cocofiber, sand with calcium (reptisand from walmart), oak leaves, aspen snake bedding, and hickory wood chips from the grilling section (for smokers found cheap at grocery stores) and distilled water. I mix it up and add distilled water until the...

It should be fine as long as it doesn't say it has fertilizer or anything like that in it!

If its mircale grow DO NOT buy it for insects. Plants yes insects no...

usually they are mites and are beneficial any photos would be helpful!

Yes! I just recently a couple months ago got the feather millipedes and 3-5 days after i got them and setup their habitat i had a father millipede egg brooding they hatched today and i am seeing lots of babies crawling around! My bumblebee just hatched out too! I will try to upload photos!

Just saw a bunch of tiny babies on the surface! This is a monumental day! I even see new babies in my feather millipede enclosure! They are so small but so cute!

Here's a picture of a few of my millipedes under my blacklight flashlight! They are pretty cool to look!

Strange. I love these millipedes and i want to actually keep them successfully as well! They are seemingly more active now that i placed them under my desk by the cool vents of the floor. I have also seen them eating my substrate. Still seeing them all lay on their backs a lot though. I will...

Thanks so much! Have yours ever laid on their backs or sides? It also might be an effective way for them to "cool off" as I have been keeping them at about 75-80 this whole time! I will put them in a cooler place ASAP. I will put them next to my springtail culture which usually sits at about...

That's so good to know! It didn't dawn on me as much! I did a small test in 2 containers. The 1st container contained 2 millipedes in close proximity and the 2nd container also contained 2 in close proximity. In Jar one I handled one millipede and it smelled like cherries then placed it back in...

Yea me either. I am wondering if they are rubbing cyanide off their exoskeletons as I notice they lay on their sides a lot too. I read somewhere on one of the post on this site that they aren't immune to their own cyanide or others cyanide and it might make sense that they try to clean...
