Eggs or poop? (Bumblebee millipedes)

[megansmillipedes]

So I have 2 adults and I haven’t seen the second one in weeks so maybe it’s molting..? Anyways I found this today after not checking on them for about 2-3 days and are these eggs or poop? If it’s poop isn’t that ALOT??

I never seen these balls before and I had these millipedes for months

Hey there! Depending on your type of millipede, you may have eggs, but on occasions egg balls can sometimes resemble poop. Here is a photo of what a soil-rolled egg case can look like. I have a hard time telling the difference myself half the time for my millies, so to be certain, I try to grab one or two of the little balls and give it a light poke to see if anything is in them. If you see an egg, then congratulations on adding new additions to your family!

I think it’s just poop... it rolled like dirt for me like it was moldable if that makes sense

that species usually lays bare eggs
