Fantastic! So the Rhopalomeris are breeding for you? Did you collect the original stock locally?Some of the pill millipedes that I have, the Rhopalomeris actually do pretty well in captivity, the other species I have feed on the food provided but I have yet to see babies.

Yes the Rhopalomeris do breed in captivity and grow, unlike some zephronia that lay eggs but the babies fail to grow and developFantastic! So the Rhopalomeris are breeding for you? Did you collect the original stock locally?
Substrate is my own DIY blend, I make it from scratch from fresh sawdust, won’t be disclosing the ingredients, layer of leaf litter on the top, temps around 24-26c, no clue about humidity but substrate is always moist to the touch.Whats your setup for the Rhopalomeris, substrate, temp, humidity, etc?

They’re not from cloud forestsAny idea if the eggs may require something with their temperatures? Like a nightly drop if the species is from cloud forests or such, I know temperature can greatly impact embryo development.
Yeah it was more of an example, just thought mimicking temps to wherever they are from with the eggs may at least be worth a shot.They’re not from cloud forests
What sort of developments? So far only the Rhopalomeris will breed, the “gold” will survive. The other two species last about 6 months and kick it, even with noticeable feeding and defecating.Hey I know this is an old thread, but any developments @CHLee?
