Eurymerodesmus melacis

I love this beautiful species but am experiencing some frustration in their keeping -- perhaps especially because the first ones I found did so well for so long before I "improved" their habitat and lost many of my subsequent finds. :(
Beautiful millipede! I hope you have more success with them in the future.:)
 
I have now rehoused them to decaying wood only, as Orin McMonigle recommends, with the exception of a small amount of this sphagnum moss as they really seem to like it and it was present in the habitat they seemed active and healthy in too. :)
 
@Hisserdude Thank you! I hope they do better in the wood but still working on getting things just right (or at least worrying about it, that's what I do, lol)
