Why is my millipede leaking/spitting liquid from mouth?

[tavrosnitram]

I got my millipedes about 2 days ago, everything was fine until i noticed they are drooling / leaking a lot of liquid from their mouths... can anyone answer ?

Just to be sure we are understanding each other, its a millipede and not a centipede?

when you say “a lot” of liquid, do you mean its a waterfall, or drops?

some inverts have fluids come back in their mouths. Like tarantulas, especialy after a meal.

did this happen after eating?
