OK, I've got a Texas Millipede (South Texas variety - aka desert millipede, aka Orthoporus sp.) who has developed a neat little trick. Somehow, he is able to climb aquarium glass! He can't get that high up, but I've seen him suspended about 2 - 3 inches above the substrate, just hanging on to the side of the aquarium somehow. After several failed attempts, I finally got a picture of him doing it. Please excuse the low quality of the image and reflection off the glass. ...and just to clarify, the red thing that appears to be under him is a piece of watermelon, located several inches behind him, in the background.
I've never seen any of my other pedes do this before (the other ones can climb up the aquarium sealant in the corners, but not the glass itself). So I was wondering, has anyone else has seen their pedes doing this? :?
