Good luck! You'll have to teach me all the packing tricks you learn.
If you don't mind, do you think you could take pictures? I'm quite curious how they would look premolt!Thanks guys!
Nearly all the visible plings have coiled up and begun molting. It's taking foreeeeverrrr. The one who coiled up first looks about halfway through, but I have no idea how long these molts normally take, though. So impatient to see how big they'll be afterwards.
I would us a spray bottle. Put it on the finest mist. How much ventilation do you have? It sounds like you have too much. What type of lid do you have? : )Thanks guys. 3skulls, good luck with the snake eggs!
Yeah, that little area of dry substrate has been driving me crazy. I had a tiny bit of substrate left over from filling some other tanks, so I just put it on top of the other stuff in that tank. For some reason that thin layer dries out really fast even though all the old substrate beneath stays moist, but I'm afraid of pouring too much water on since there are molting babies beneath. Suggestions? I'm wondering if putting some more leaf litter on top will help conserve moisture.
With my enclosures, ventilation is minimal. I have 16 1/8 inch holes in my enclosure lid. They are all on one end. I've never had any issues of drying with the upper lay of the substrate. This moist increases the rate of decomposition of the wood shavings and leaves on the surface. Because of this I often see the millipedes on the surface eating these two foods.Yeah I use a spray bottle to mist. I have a screen top on that tank, but I cover it with a sheet of plastic to reduce ventilation.
Man the pedelings are super active today. It's exciting!
