    ID on Whipscorpion please!

    This is the first live tailless whipscorpion I've ever seen! And I'm so excited!! I've wanted to see one for so long. My mom asked me if I wanted to look at a "spider with really long antennae" before she squished it. Of course I objected to the squishing, so I went to save this strange...

    TRAP Jaaaawwwww!

    I think I may have mentioned this in a previous post, but here is a link to a setup that makes it very easy to not only keep ants, but to monitor them as well. I've kept several species in this setup, and there's a lab here at the University of Arizona that has a crap load of colonies set up...

    AGB enclosures?

    As long as the dish isn't very deep, there shouldn't be a problem at all. But the little babies can easily drowned in a very small amount of water, so be careful with that. Anxiously awaiting pics! -Nick

    Milli Mating and Egg Laying Description.. WOW

    Wow...I've never actually come across a detailed description of the whole egg laying process, so this is very interesting! Sorry I can't be any help, but that is definitely an interesting routine! Millipedes do usually create a chamber made of "special poop" and the eggs are sometimes encased...

    L. bishopi woOT

    Kevin- That's a good point you make. I can't think of any logical reason to have the "OT" at the end there except for what you suggested. I suppose we'll just have to wait for the OP to come back and clear up this issue. The anxiety.... :) -Nick

    L. bishopi woOT

    "Woot!" is another form of "Woohoo!" or "Yeehaw!" or "Cowabunga!" or "Yippee!" or "Wahoo!" or "Yay!" or "Wee!" or something similar that you can come up with on your own. "woot" is also defined here: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=woot&defid=1755786 Hope that helps. :D -Nick

    Quick Question (Hopefully)

    Does anyone get the Reptiles magazine? There's a whole article on the West African Gaboon Viper - a magnificent creature. @ Geography Guy - you should try to pick up the October 2006 Reptiles magazine, it's got some great info on these guys along with some amazing photos! -Nick...

    millipede health indicators

    N. americanus is actually the only species I have at the moment. I usually put food in the tank during the late afternoon/early evening and by the time I go to bed they've all come out for some grub. That's how I know whether or not they're eating. I also see them out exploring late at night...

    Amblypygi and Uropygi

    I have long admired vinegaroons and tailless whipscorpions and I think I'd have to say that your pictures are the most stunning examples I've seen. Amazing!! :clap: -Nick

    Unusual problem... rogue crickets in millie tank :O

    Hey Cynthia! Have you found more isopods in your tank, or still just that one? Either way it's really weird! The isopods in my tank are actually starting to get a little out of control - they breed like crazy!! Well, I hope you and your millies are doing well! -Nick

    Giant Millipedes?

    Wow...can we drop this now? You're making a mountain out of a mole hill. I think I've done what I can to make up for my mistake, sorry if you don't think so. Good luck with your AGBs. -Nick

    Nice pics! Is the first centipede you posted about to molt, or is that just the way it looks? I really like the AGB by the way - awesome! -Nick

    giant african millipede breeding

    That's the only way I've ever heard of. I've heard some useful tips on how to check for the gonopods though. I think I've referred to this site before, but here it is again taking you right to the sexing part of the page: http://www.geocities.com/millipedes_uk/Sexing/gender.html

    check this out....SpiderX

    I thought recluse spiders were active nocturnal hunters? From what I understand, they don't make much of a web, not one that would be able to capture passing prey anyway. Not saying you're wrong, just trying to learn about the critters. There's been a few recluse in my parents' house lately...

    Maple leaves in AGB tank

    Be careful about pesticides though. You need to be sure the leaves you are putting in the tank are sterile. Most people won't even take the chance if there is some possibility that pesticides have been used in the area, but it's up to you. I would reccommend freezing or microwaving the leaves...

    giant african millipede breeding

    Providing you have a successful breeding pair, the only thing you need to do to get healthy babies is provide correct humidity, adequate food, and decomposing wood and leaves. Millipedes are very little maintenance as well as the eggs/babies. Just let them do their thing! Good luck. -Nick

    The invasion

    Did you just get some rainfall? The rain readily brings the new queens out to mate. Nice pic!
