Got lucky at PACNWRS and found a vendor selling Pink Dragon Millipedes! They're just babies right now but I saw their mom and she looks AMAZING, so I had to grab a few. I have the basics down (temps, humidity), but are there any particular care tips I should be aware of?

Also, I grabbed some ReptiSoil for them but I'm starting to doubt my choice considering how important substrate is for millis, I'm worried this stuff doesn't have enough rotting crud in it for them to eat and I'm worried :(

Hello,
the substrate is indeed quite unsuitable for millipedes.
Best would be FlakeSoil with decaying wood and decaying leaves. Alternatively only the later two is OK as well.

Best regards

They are cave-dwelling species and have different needs than most. The Defiant Forest sells a substrate supplement with Calcium Oxide. They're found on limestone.
