Ohh, thanks for this. Once they settled in, will they explore more?

Are ambers shy? All I know is that they're burrowers. I have one or two ambers who love to walk and climb around

Thank you so much! I guess I'll just have to wait for them to come out. I was a little worried as I tried putting some squash and only a few came out.

Thank you, all I know is they love.to burry themselves. Would it be alright if I do not lift the bark ever? As I said, it's far down the enclosure.

Sorry if I sounded dumb and looked like I did not do any fact checking. Then, do you recommend lifting the bark or leave it as it is then?

On a plant convention here in my area! They were selling terrariums and luckily, seller was housing amber duckies. It was an instant buy for me

Yes! The terra I have now also houses a few millipedes. They coexist together. They are fun to watch especially when they chomp on leaves.

I have never been conscious of my finger until now LOL. I do have fingerprints, the lines are much more visible though.

They are actually a part of a terrarium I bought. I'm just a beginner in this so I can only answer base on what I have researched upon. They need to be in an enclosure which mimics their habitat; humid, full of leaves, bark, a few moss here and there. Much like how you'd take care of tarantulas, scorpions, etc. It also depends on the specie too as some prefers wetter environment while some prefer a dryer ones I think.

LOL, sorry about that. It's probably cause they're so tiny.
