About 27 days ago i received two juvenile millipedes in the mail <edit>. One smokey oak millipede, and one florida ivory millipede. Until about a week ago they were both fine, up and about, the florida ivory millipede was going to town on the cucumber slices i had fed them. About two days ago, i noitced my ivory millipede (dinesh) stretched out under a branch, but i figured it was in the process of burrowing, as opposed to being dead, and there was no smell so i left it alone. On this tragic night i realized that my millipede (dinesh) is in fact, dead. i have put him in a small box for burial tomorrow My smokey oak millipede is in perfect health and is alive and well. All leaves and substrate i put into the tank stay moist and the tank stays humid, i mist/moisten half the tanks soil and keep the other half dry so my millipedes can decide what environment they prefer, they always have food,all leaves/wood/substrate put into the tank were baked in the oven to dry and sanitize it before use in my tank. I found my millipede limp, if this helps. I would like to know if any experts can speculate on the cause of death. Could my millipede have been too watered down after gorging on cucumber for many days in a row? the last photos i have of my millipede are from july 17, and i am fairly sure my pede was dead by the 25th/26th ish. What couldve happened in this time period? there were no drastic changes to their environment. please help, thank u <3
