After a few hours of mixing sphagnum peat moss in with coconut fiber, boiling various leaves, baking various branches, and things such as that, I finally came up with a pleasing tank setup for my Ivory millipedes...who I'm expecting to arrive tomorrow or the day after!
The tank is 15" by 9", with 4" of substrate
This is so much better than the first millipede tank I ever set up...it has leaves from 3 different hardwood species (Cherry, sugar maple, birch) mixed into a perfectly moist but not soggy mixture of sphagnum moss, bits of tree bark, and coconut fiber. Then there's a hollow ceramic rock cave, as well as two birch and one white ash branch. The white ash branch is perfectly decayed for millipedes...it's all just perfect! Oh, and there's a shallow water dish, and a food dish that currently has a bit of fish and shrimp based fish flakes in it.
Later today or tomorrow I'll also be collecting some white ash leaves (as I've heard millipede love them) and laying those about it as well!
So, what do you guys think? I'm usually not big into decorating, but it was actually out of necessity this time...so I really like it, and hopefull the ivories will too! I was also thinking of purchasing two Ebony Ivory millipedes and housing those in with the ivory...maybe get a breeding system going, eh?
