As this says, I recently got some millipedes and some beetles and would like a few questions answered about care.
1. I've heard people feed them pet food. Do you just put the kibble in the tank or do you moisten it first?
2. How can you tell if the tank is humid enough or too humid? I've got O. ornatus and Blue Death Feigning Beetles. I've got a water bowl that I'm keeping wet (I've got the bottom covered in rocks so the millis don't drown, of course) and I lightly misted half of the tank earlier, but any other way to tell that? How would I know if it was too much or too little bar the inhabitants dying?
3. Temp in the room appears to be 63-66 or so, should I slap a heat pad on the side (have a hand-me-down reptile one) or is that good?
Thanks in advance, and thanks for existing: this site gave me the tools and confidence to get these pets initially, so thank y'all for always helping new people out.
