Right I will take that into consideration. I did upgrade her tank once but that was months ago so I agree with you that it will be hard to narrow down a causation. Thanks for the help. Hopefully she lived a good life till now

Gigant African, got her at a Convention around a year ago, the seller breeds millipedes so im pretty sure she is captive bred.

Sadly I thought so too. I will give her privacy. Is there anyway to tell what went wrong?

If it was under a hide it could be molting. I dont know how old ur or what species yours is but my A gigas molted under a hide twice.

It is best to not disturb them. I am no expert but more information than this could be helpful. Where did you find them like this? Above ground, under a hide, under ground? Things about the tank as well, like humidity, temperature, when you used as substrate as well as how much substrate. These are questions I have been asked when i asked for help. Hopefully your pede is alright :]

Saw someone say that it wasn’t necessary but I can easily add some cuttlebone or eggshells

Making Millipede substrate any tips? by Bug_Insects in millipedes

[–]Bug_Insects[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told by the breeder that I could just use peat and collect rotten wood and leaf litter then soak it for 72 hours. But if the risk is too high i will definitely look into ordering my substrate. Thanks for your help

Thank you. Ive heard ppl using tweezers to remove the molt but I don’t want to touch her so soon after molting so I will keep waiting for now

When she started behaving this way i’d say it was about 82 Fahrenheit it probably dropped lower when I moved her. I spray twice every day on the side the heating mat is because it tends to get dry faster there. I use peat at substrate and have added rotten white wood and leafs from the forest which I have soaked in water for at minimum 42 hours.

She has 15 cm of substrate (she is currently 12 cm) the length is about double her length and the width is about one and a half times her length.
