The millipede's leg is rotting...I think so...

I've had The Thai Rainbow Millipedes for 2 years. But the problems have only started now. They bred 3 months ago. I had to put a bigger container in it, so a lot of stress. Later, I noticed that 1 of the millipede was moving slowly. upon closer inspection, I noticed that some of the ends of the legs had turned black and shrunk, as if they had rotted or been bitten off by someone. and the color of the orange legs and face became paler. I understand that the centipede is not healthy, but I can't figure out what the reason is. high humidity? are their children hurting them? not enough space? Anyway, what kind of sickness could it be? I provide food and land with all the nutrients, so I don't think they lack anything. I'm desperate! There is no information on this topic on the Internet. I have attached a video (you can see the bitten-off legs) and a drawing of how it looks up close. Who has any idea what it is?

Photos would be more helpful. I cant see video.

sounds like foot root. Need photos of enclosure. Foot rot is frequently associated with wet conditions and or bacteria in soil.
