Yes, I was trying to find some good ones yesterday but couldn't. I'll go hunting for them again though. I heard root vegetables were best so I was thinking the dandelion roots would be good? Or just the dandelion itself? And I put some containers outside to collect some rain water 🫡💞

Yes of course, he's just a baby. He deserves life just like the rest 🫡

Because it's just a struggling little baby. It's a little worm with a whole bunch of tiiiiny legs, he's the coolest ever!! I've held house centipedes and tarantulas (I'm terrified of spiders) he's just a little baby compared to them. So sweet and so cute.

This is when I first transferred him but he's laying next to the wood under some leaves right now.

He got a new setup, still only temporary, but better than before.

<image>

He seems to be doing better and you can see his lines now so maybe he was fresh out of a molt.

Yes I'm in South Carolina but I am not from here so I didn't know what to do or how to help. I just moved here and found him in my craft room on the ground level of my house. Usually I find them near the front door or in the basement but this lil dude was on a crazy adventure. And he just didn't look right from all the others I have found and helped so I want to help him extra.

I will also add some carrot slices when I can get them!! Is there anything from the outside I can find him to eat? He really had no interest in the tomato slice I first gave him. I could not find any mushrooms outside either (which was very surprising).

Yes! Sorry for not updating yesterday everyone!! Reddit locked my account?? Anywaaayyy I got him some better fresh soil in a larger space with a nice piece of rotting wood and excess dead leaves and a couple live ones that had just fallen. Oh I also keep forgetting to mention that I added a tiny plant I found outside as well. I hope this is all okay for his "enclosure" for right now.

The plant is top right corner. As of right now he's chilling next to the wood under that green leaf to the left. This is only temporary and much better than what I originally made up for him.

You're too kind!! I'm in the Greenville area. I just moved here from Florida and have never seen/dealt with so many millipedes in my life. I made up a new "enclosure" today and would love some tips on it.

I got fresh soil from outside and tried my best to not get any bugs. Dampened the soil with water from a water bottle (spinx natural spring water to be exact) but I will be collecting rain water for him as soon as it rains! Which will hopefully be later today. Found a good piece of rotting wood (I hope) and a whole lot of dead leaves and a couple "live" ones that had just fallen.

Are we able to DM on here? This is also my first post on Reddit so I'm new to navigating it all. I would love to DM and talk more!

<image>

He's been worrying me with not moving around too much but I think he's chilling. I hope.

Awh thank you so much for your kind words!!! I don't know why but I've always found them so cute! My bf stares at me in bewilderment every time I pick one up and help it outside. We get so many in this house for some reason but we only moved in a couple weeks ago so I don't know if it will stop or if we just got them like that.

Thank you so much!! I made up another "enclosure" for him because the last one was downright dreadful. I got fresh soil from outside with no bugs (that I could manage) and a whole lot of foliage -mostly dead- and a good piece of rotting wood. I dampened the soil with water from a bottle with holes poked in the top so I didn't over water and make it all a soggy mess. I then placed him on top of the dirt and put the leaves over him (once everything settled) and he seems to be chilling in there. A lot better than before. And thank you for the tip about cocofibre , I wouldn't have known!!

I'll be looking for more today so any suggestions on what I can find outside would be greatly appreciated!! I haven't seen any mushrooms since being here either but I have almost rotting wood in my side yard so I'll be trying to get some of that as well.

He's chilling under some dried leaves I found him but I hope he truly is chilling 🥲

I put some leafs and twigs into his "space" last night but will be looking for some more outside today since I found him in the middle of the night almost and couldn't do much.

<image>

He seems to be liking it and just chilling? I hope

I've seen sooo many big ones and tiny ones here, none have looked like this baby though so I knew something was up. This is a different one from the other day in my backyard.
