Great video! Ivories are one of my favorite millipede species! I love that they are easy to breed, and have such a marvelous pattern. The fact that they spend time on the surface quite often is awesome too! 👍
Completely agree. Thanks Rus. Wish they were more active in the video (especially the babies) but I moved them up stairs and the drop in temps must have sent them burrowing for some heat :)
I have a setup with a ivory millipede, a giant pj foot millipede, and a Smokey oak, and I woke up with babies! I think the babies are ivory’s but I’m not sure, this was very helpful think you!
@@11chago11 Great question. I guess I would look up 'composting' on google. I know a few of the folks (like Shawn Kramer) that sell substrate uses 'flake' soil which is decomposed wood particles... that take months to mature.
Thanks for the awesome vid! I have had a few of these for a while now but no babies. I am thinking of upgrading the enclosure and getting some more so, i can breed them. I am also starting to think that all of mine are males
'He pooped on me!' Ahaha, thanks very much for the info :) I have 5 adult C. spinigerus and today I saw a baby for the first time :D Only one though, about 1cm long. I wondered if you have any tips to help the babies out as I am worried I have only seen one. E.g. do they need more moisture/heat than the adults or anything?
:) She was so funny. But hung in there!!! Hey, congrats for the baby. I bet there are MANY more in the substrate (but don't go looking for them as they are in such new molts). Treat the babies the same as the adults. Actually, I wait until they are about half size (doing nothing different in the enclosure) then move them to a new enclosure by themselves at half size.
@@SupremeGecko Thanks so much or the quick reply, will hope to see more emerge from the substrate then! :) The baby is currently tasting cucumber for the first time :P

Hi I have a question do you know how many quarts your clear tote " enclosure " is? I'm trying to find one online and it's a bit of a pain to make sure that I'm getting the correct size that I want.
Make sure you check our our Isopod and Millipede store at supremegecko.square.site/s/shop?page=1&limit=60&sort_by=name&sort_order=asc
These are awsome millipedes.
Thank you.
Christal just loves helping with the videos.

Great viseo - loved the joke!!
This was a total surprise. I loved it too.

Ohhhhh, very cool!
Awesome, hoping on getting some of these someday!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comment. I think they are the best starter millipede.
lol this was awesome!
thanks Angie. she has my sense of humor.
Haha poor thing
@@angieschwartz5294 Ouch! ;)

Thanks
How do you know how much ventilation to put in a container?
The more the better- just as long as you can keep moist areas for the animals.
@@SupremeGecko is there a way to get leaf litter to start decomposing quicker. I have leaf litter but definitely not decomposing yet

Ahhh, easy to tell as the males have that separation in links.

I can do one better- It is a 16.5x13x12.25 Sterilite container model 1925. Hope this helps.
Why do you keep babies and adults seperate? At what age can the babies reproduce?
I like to give the parents as much room as possible. I'm just learning so I think it's around 8-12 months.
