So I got this juveline desert millipede around 8 months ago, in April. I'll attach a current photo of her below. In all the time I've had her, she hasn't molted once. She seems to be healthy, her exoskeleton is shiny and shes still kicking, but I'm not sure why she isnt growing. She spends all her time curled up buried in the soil, so it's not as if I can feed her special foods. I assume she has been sustaining herself on the substrate. Some times I have to (carefully) dig her up in order to fully moisten her enclosure, so perhaps that had disturbed her molting process? Idk. Has anyone else had this problem with deserts? They are such an elusive species it's hard to know if I'm doing everything right (She was my first millipede btw >_<)
