A HUGE thank you to @Bugs In Cyberspace for the pair of Harpaphe millipedes and Douglas fir debris and to @zonbonzovi for the advice and more Douglas fir debris!!!
I received a pair of adults this past May. I found them mating upon arrival but they were restless in their enclosure until I added bits of wood and needles from Douglas fir upon which they calmed down immediately. The male died before long anyway, but the female lived on many months and would often burrow in the substrate. I got a wine cooler around June and have kept her Sterilite box in there ever since (at 65F, except for brief periods at 54F when it reset). She died a month or so ago (she never ate supplement food and the substrate never dries out in the wine cooler so I just checked once in a while) but I kept the box in the cooler with the small hope that she had laid eggs. My hopes were realized:
