Hello! Im finally able to get into the arthropode hobby! To start out Im getting a milipede - mardonius parilis, just one for now.
I'm having trouble choosing the right housing and substrate. I've researched so many sites and everyone says something different so I decided to ask over here instead.
What height of the enclosure? Some people tell me 30cm is fine, some say the higher the better because it equals more substrate.
When it comes the substrate itself I know that leaf litter and bark should be mixed in but what about the actual substrate? Some say coconut husk but that seems pretty dry for a milipede. I'm thinking humus. Let me know what works for you guys!
