Octoglena anura diet?

[Ponerinecat]

I've been keeping these alongside my Brachycibe for a while, and they arent breeding. Would like any info as to what they need and eat as I have no info n their care.

Here in the east (NY state) our local Polyzoniid is similar (Petaserpes sp.). I've tried for a long time to crack the code on keeping and reproducing these unique millipedes. My best luck was when i kept them cool (60-65 F), moist, and provided them with as many different foods as possible, including lots of rotting wood. In the field I find them clustered around soft bodied mushrooms. They do like some moist substrate to lay eggs in. I've gotten them to lay eggs and gotten the eggs to hatch, but I've never got the babies to mature. Good luck and remember to share your experience with us here on the boards!

Thank you for the advice, they seem to like pine wood here but never mushrooms.
