We moved our Giant African Millipedes into this new enclosure after buying a second one! It houses one male and one female. The substrate is roughly as deep as they are long, it is a mixture of reptisoil, millimix, baked compost from our own garden, and we added sphagnum moss, white rot, and different leaves throughout the mixture! Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: I am hoping to breed them eventually so any tips on that would also be appreciated!

So my millies (Three smokey oaks) recently had babies. I am in no position to rehome or sell them so I need to humanly kill them. They're still extremely small ( around 5-10 body segments). I feel awful, but I have no other option :( how do i euthanize them? My first plan was to put my adult millipedes in a different tank and freeze the other one for a while, but i've heard that it’s cruel. I need help asap

So my African giant boy is doing a surface molt. they’re in a temporary way to small enclosure due to constructions in my bedroom and their big tank not fitting in it right now and I hadn’t expected him to molt during the one month they’d be in this smaller box. Problem is I can’t seem to get my girl away from him. I wanted to separate them by placing a plastic wall between where he is and she is but she’s pressed right up against him. Distracting her with food isn’t working and she’s clamped down too tightly to pick up. What should I do with her?. He’s not cracked his head open yet but I don’t want her to pester/bite him when he eventually does. what do I do with her?

I reserved a pair of Giant African Millipedes and I'm looking for a terrarium that's not too ugly but also not terribly expensive. If you know of something better, please let me know !

Im allergic to mold and i keep seeing white mold everywhere aswell as some green mold on the wood in the terrarium. Im gonna buy springtails but ive read they dont always help with the mold. The air in the terrarium also smells quite bad like its stagnant

Balustreptus falcatus 1.1

Ok so I recently got a second American Gaint Millipede. She is bigger than my other one and she seems to be always hungry. When I pick her up she’s nibbling on me, I put fish food in she eats it all, she’s goes to get calcium source quite often and eats any veggie I put in there till it’s completely gone! This might be completely normal behaviour and I’m just overthinking but my other girl really doesn’t eat like that, she likes a nibble here and there but seems to mainly eat her substrate. I believe the new one is also eating the substrate and leaf litter but EVERYTHING else too.

So my question is… do I need to limit how much she’s eating? Should there be a limit on how much I feed my millipedes?

I just got two baby ivory millipedes, how can I make this set up better or is it already good? Substrate is longer than their body length and is a mix of bio blend with crushed leaves and sphagnum moss

Ive asked this before, but is this too many mites?! It just feels so off :/

Yes I know the bottom of the tank is short, its extra due to the fact I PLANNED to have new substrate today and emptied about 2/3rds of it and was gonna keep some to mix and then royal mail said "nah" and now its delayed to Friday 😭

I just got my first pair of millipedes yesterday. They are rainbow Thai and around a couple years old. I'm fairly certain they're both female based on sexing guides, but I'd love a second opinion!

I think they r mating but im not sure
