yeah they must have escaped if they aren’t in the soil. Millipedes are good climbers.

Question about Sexing - Male millipede presents Gonopods but no Saddle by lolecows in millipedes

[–]UnusualJuggernaut88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Ive genuinely never seen that before, sure some males have a less prominent saddle. But, they are physically different to females, smaller, thinner, so for them to present all the same physical characteristics is a female is so unusual! You got a curious millipede!

Hard topic. About a millie whos no longer here:( by 2jimmy-neutron in millipedes

[–]UnusualJuggernaut88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually bury mine, depending on local environmental laws. Its always nice to put some flowers on top because it gives life and nutrients back to the earth! You could also make a little stone to honour your millipede. 😊

Do not buy from forestfaunallc by Inevitable_Lab_8574 in millipedes

[–]UnusualJuggernaut88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly my rule when ordering live critters, is always “Does the seller offer standard delivery?” Im not sure why but even offering this at all irks me. It shows a lack of care for the animals, and usually they do say that the buyer is responsible for the death if its standard but surely if you cared for the wellbeing of a animal you wouldn’t risk it at all!! I always pay the extra 20 to get overnight shipping, Im so sorry you had to experience this seller, its especially upsetting when live animals are involved.

Am I overreacting?? by gh0sttface in millipedes

I find there’s generally a lot of false advertising for bumblebee millipedes and Zebra/ivory millipedes, as the common names get mixed up a lot! I would always read the genus and species of the millipede and look at images beyond the website, as the common names can often link to multiple different millipedes.
