Found they really liked the rocks and crevasses. So added a Little Rock hide and a rock area, today found 5 of them among the rocks sleeping.

Here’s one of my desert millipedes. I’ve noticed when I hold her on my hand she is always nibbling at me, but not always stinky. So I don’t think she’s threatened here. She is also eating the dried mealworms more than the others I have. I was wondering if this was her needing protein for egg making, or something else? Any advice would be great

Green Boy in the shadows. Got rejected twice by Nezumi and Gordon, while also finding Gordon with his arch nemesis, Dusk. Probably a little depressed. Love the way he stands like he’s squaring up with you, puffing his chest

Got worried yesterday she got stuck in a piece of cholla wood, but this morning saw her enjoying a little water. I love her.

I adjusted her enclosure according to the advice I got last post. I unfortunately got cypress wood chips and realized I couldn’t use them. So it’s still a work in progress

Unfortunately the canned cricket killed one of my wooly darklings. Got some live crickets and froze them. All my ladies avenged their hairy friend. Also Nezumi kills me, running away with the whole thing. She’s gonna house the whole thing

Just got this bad lassy. My first millipede. Any tips or advice? Also how does her enclosure look?

Not fair of Dawn to take it from Gordon (missing a foot) and Nezumi (no hands)

She pooped this out and then turned around and ate it? Wasn’t sure if it was waste or like egg thing, but their eggs don’t look like that. Hasn’t shown any signs of issues before. Is she just a poop eater?

Had this guy for a bit over a week and he just started being lethargic 2 days ago. I saw him move a little yesterday so I decided to wait. But I don’t think he moved at all today. Im not sure what happened to it. He had the same diet as every other beetle I have 10+ and no one else is showing signs of any ailments. His mouth looks a bit maybe crusty? I can try to get a closer picture if needed. Mostly look for potential cause of death so I can change if I did something wrong. And also looking for maybe how to preserve this guy. Only had him for a week but he was part of my dangerous nights crew. I believe it was a trogloderus?

They’re troglodytes beetles (trogloderus?)

My diabolical was enjoying their favorite homemade banana jelly. I look over again and this woolly was directly on top, foot on the diabolical’s head eating. Beetles are so funny sometimes

I currently have a 20gal long tank and 11 beetles (6bdfb, 2 smooth, 2 woolly and a diabolical). They seem to enjoy this setup and I’ve been working on getting humidity down which has been working.

I was just wondering if my substrate is too deep? Bottom is sand. The rest is a mix of sand 45%, clay 50% and a little creature soil 5%. Also wondering if there is anything else I should add that they would enjoy? Or any other friends I could add to this setup?

What types of plants could I add to this? I would grow them myself no pesticides, so that wouldn’t be an issue

And yes, it says no boys allowed. That’s where my 2 og bdfb females would hide from the horny male lol.

I just got the three in picture 1 today (they’re in a tank now). But they’re so white compared to the ones I’ve had for a couple months in picture 2. Just wanted to make sure that I’m creating the right environment for them. Are the beetles in picture 1 just overly dry?

Just got some of these bad boys today. Saw this guy lost an antennae, so I named him Juan. Hoping the others done lose one or it’ll be hard to tell them apart lol

This grew overnight in one of my terrariums. Any idea what it is? Soil was from Amazon and moss from Etsy, so not sure where those were from. Massachusetts, United States.
