I generally lurk here but I have questions my books don't answer...
I bought an "African Giant Black" millipede from a petstore, but they only had one. I'd like to get a few more to try breeding but I've found both "Archispirostreptus gigas" and "Lulus sp." listed as GAB. How do I know which mine is?
Also, I've read up on sexing but it's only about 8" long and I've read that at least some species can get bigger. How early do the males look like males? And can females lay eggs before they're full grown?
Just one more. How many adults can you keep in what size container, like a 10 gallon or 20 gallon aquarium? All I've read is the twice as long and once as wide rule. That doesn't tell me how many.
Thanks in advance to anyonw who can lend me some advice, or even just an opinion. -Prangus
