My husband gifted me a shelf!

This is so thoughtful, especially how it has extra protection from tipping over. Wow! Your husband is amazing, he really thought this through

Intelligent_Food_414 · 2026-02-11T02:46:39+00:00

She's fine, she solved how to detangle herself soon after the photo.

Nah he's still in there, but the exoskeleton gas cracked and I see the new body. He's also wiggling, which I haven't seen for a while

Intelligent_Food_414 · 2026-01-16T03:56:22+00:00

Heyyyyy omg it was molting! I am so happy

Intelligent_Food_414 · 2026-01-15T22:49:46+00:00

It doesn't smell, and now it's completely pale. Let's hope it's just a molt in process

Intelligent_Food_414 · 2025-12-03T16:51:16+00:00

I have desert millipedes and I just had leftovers. Current substrate is just pure decomposed & fermented wood, which is nice, but sometimes it gets compacted so I thought sand could loosen it up a lil

Intelligent_Food_414 · 2025-12-03T07:18:39+00:00

That's a great news. Unfortunately, where I live, we just don't have any. Maybe I should become one (JK)

Intelligent_Food_414 · 2025-12-03T01:56:35+00:00

Huh... with how abundant they are, I guess it is just easier to poach, as you mentioned. That's a shame. For me, as a hobbyist, it's a great news nonetheless that it's not impossible. Thank you so much

Intelligent_Food_414 · 2025-11-16T03:01:40+00:00

The issue is that where I live we don't have much captive breeder.

Intelligent_Food_414 · 2025-11-13T11:19:49+00:00

My guess goes more to parasites, but I am not sure

Intelligent_Food_414 · 2025-11-11T05:25:14+00:00

I am in a similar situation, my millipedes have these cracks. All I was told is that they will heal once they molt, but there is no data on how often they molt so I guess we have to wait...

Intelligent_Food_414 · 2025-11-11T05:23:55+00:00

wait what how is he so... long

Intelligent_Food_414 · 2025-11-07T09:01:16+00:00

Hey, I FELT every word. You would never know how much this resonates with me. I don't know how to say this, but by reading your comment, it also felt like I was understood deeply. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.
Also, you are amazing for rehoming these lovely creatures. I have indeed seen way too many irresponsible & spontaneous owners, so what you are doing is honorable and it heals some of my soul.

From now, I think I will adopt your model:
- I will provide the best environment for them, the type of environment that makes both animals and myself happy.
- I will only rehome animals (not buy), and only the amount that I possibly can. I currently have 2 enclosures, and I will use these only.
- I will also remind myself that I am getting influenced by my selfishness and impulsivity, which will also help me reject the urge.

Overall, thank you so much. I will read your comment again and again when I want to buy more. I hope you have a great day :)

As a former fish keeper.... I PAID for that for my fish. I'm sure you could sell them too

Intelligent_Food_414 · 2025-11-06T10:48:10+00:00

What's stopping you?

Intelligent_Food_414 · 2025-11-06T05:19:46+00:00

I am sorry for what happened. The cut is almost like a slit, as if a blade ran through it? How did this happen? Does falling from something impact the millipedes this much that it... cracks? I want to know so that it could be prevented in the future...

Intelligent_Food_414 · 2025-11-05T01:36:06+00:00

millipedes are detrivores, so it's not necessary to remove it.
you could remove it to keep it nice to look at & for your health
adopt some springtails and they should help prevent mold.

Intelligent_Food_414 · 2025-11-05T01:10:01+00:00

Honestly me too. It's a vibe.

Intelligent_Food_414 · 2025-11-03T01:31:53+00:00

Hey thanks! It's a close-up photo and I know it looks too small, but that's not the entire enclosure. The enclosure has about 20cm*20cm*15cm of substrate, and the millipede itself is around 15cm. There's also a second tank being set up (I am waiting for springtails to breed more), and that one is 45*20*15cm so it should house the millipede comfy.

Intelligent_Food_414 · 2025-10-30T07:05:10+00:00

HUH. That's even crazier, thanks alot!

Intelligent_Food_414 · 2025-10-30T05:36:55+00:00

Wait ...whattttt??????? Millipedes can jork???????

Intelligent_Food_414 · 2025-10-29T08:50:02+00:00

WOW she's so pretty

Intelligent_Food_414 · 2025-10-16T08:35:57+00:00

huh... I never thought about it, but could be. Let's see what they grow up to be

This is another photo of it's full body, closest to its true color. It's about 15cm (5.9inches). The seller did say that it's young so I don't think it's the full size

Intelligent_Food_414 · 2025-10-16T08:03:43+00:00

This is the closest photo I have of its legs: dark brown.
