Hello,
My Giant African Millipede began to molt a few days ago. It seems really unusual and after years of keeping millipedes, the first time I have seen one molt.
I am awfully worried about what is going on. He is currently on the surface of the moss, in a reptile hiding place. There is currently white goo-like stuff coming out of his posterior end, and he is laying in a strange shape with some of his legs up. There is a shell nearby, it was once like a "ghost millipede", but now it is in a million pieces.
Can anyone tell me what to expect for the rest of the process, and some tips to make sure it is successful?
Anthony
