Hey guys, I have lots of reptiles but this is my first set of millipedes, and I did some research beforehand, and then bought an enclosure (30x30x55), some substrate etc, and 5 Thai rainbow millipedes, not considering that they would breed. How do I make sure they don’t overrun the tank? I really don’t want to hurt any of them and they are really cute, is there any way I can just maybe make them have a few babies every couple of years or something like that? Thanks

Hi guys, my name is Joel and I am 16. I have experience in petrol engines and machines like lathes etc, and have bought myself a chassis and a boiler of a Juliet type one with Stevensons valve gear for £400. I have never really done anything like this before, but I am going to join a local club tomorrow, and would really appreciate any help I can get, as I really need someone to talk me through this and give me some pointers.

I have attached some images, but the general condition of the boiler is good, and although its relatively grimy, looks in-tact and plugged from the shell test. I have just one concern - there appears to be a dent of approx 2mm depth and 22mm diameter, which concerns me as I am worried that it wont pass its shell test again.

Additionally, I need a safety valve, regulator handle, water gauge etc. Should these be machined or can I buy these? I also need to complete the plumbing and build the water tanks and running board, along with the boiler saddle and funnel. I imagine there is a lot else to do that I also have not already spotted.

In terms of the chassis, the valve gear and eccentrics seem to be in good condition, with certain components such as the axles having light surface rust. The axles seem to turn by hand with a medium amount of friction, although I have nothing to base it on whether this is a suitable amount, and I also have not lubricated any components.

There is also no plumbing from the pistons, or the lubrication box, so unfortunately I cannot try the chassis on compressed air. How would I start plumbing this in? I am slightly worried that I am out of my depth, but I suppose I have a lifetime ahead of me to complete this thing, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all :)
