Hello everyone,
I used to have millipedes a while back, but they never bred and all died. I felt that my husbandry was satisfactory, except I probably needed more leaves. However, I have noticed that the enclosure I used for them (and the smaller variants I used for isopods) seems to accumulate water on the lids and not ventilate well. This had the same effect on many of my isopod cultures
I was considering getting back into millipedes since I have tons of flake soil from beetle larvae substrate changes that they could eat. I did a test where I took an enclosure, used a hot knife to cut out a section, and hot-glued a thick plastic mesh over the opening, and I'm seeing if this new strategy would help the ventilation issues. I was hoping that some members could share what their enclosures look like, including ventilation and other parts to help me refine my setup.
Thanks everyone!
