I took a video of my millipedes! No talking in this lol.

The two girls are Gabby and Shepard. The male Galactus is underground in molt, it takes about two weeks for them to complete the molt.

The tiny white bugs are Forest springtails. They keep the tank clean by devouring mold/mildew/fungus/rot/and waste.

Yes the moss is dead because they kept tunneling under them and eating the little roots. They will be taken out once the male is finished molting so I don’t accidentally collapse his tunnel. 

I handle my millipedes often, and I do my best to pick them up from underneath to prevent injury. You can see me trying and failing to do that a few times. Sometimes they just have no interest in being held. 

They will live until they are a decade old with proper care. Their tank will be getting cleaned and rearranged once the male is finished molting. The mushroom are not real, they are glow in the dark deco ones.

I love my millipedes very much, they make for lovely pets :)
