hello!! i am planning to get two giant american millipedes soon :)

i am planning on buying a 10 gallon tank for them, and covering most of the lid with cling wrap to hold humidity, and part of it with a cloth of some sort for ventilation.

i bought scotts topsoil as a base, and i plan to mix spagnum moss, oak leaves, and rotting hardwood from a seller on etsy into it. i also have mushroom compost i could add, does that help anything? the substrate will also be deep, at least 5 inches.

does it matter what kind of springtails i purchase to go with this species of millipede?

where can i buy captive bred millipedes right now? i hear lots of mixed opinions on places. i want to get a male and a female

i'm looking for feedback before i purchase anything else, i want to make sure my setup is good and i'm not missing anything 🙏 decor recommendations would also be nice, all i have is cork bark in my cart

hello!! i'm looking to get a couple ivory millipedes. i have a 10 gallon front opening tank right now i was thinking of using, but i'm iffy.

the front part could have substrate ~ 3 inches deep, and i know they need deeper substrate. would it be bad if the front was 3 inches deep if the back end had much deeper substrate to make up for it?
