I was checking out my enclosure and I found two bumblebee's mating.
Does anyone know how long it takes for the female to lay eggs afterwards?
I suspect I won't see her for a long time.

Are there any good books on Millipede husbandry? The internet is full of contradictions and improper cut and paste information. I guess scientist don't really care about them that much and group multiple species together.
I've come across sites that say Narceus Americanus is actually quite a few different species all under the same name but it doesn't mean you can breed them.
