I went with an attempt at bioactive, with basically the same substrate but I added a couple plants.

Awesome that you're utilizing live plants - we plan on doing the same with our next milli tank

I have a feeling she ate them

Probably ha. Nature is flexible and opportunistic

Would isopods compete with the millis?

While some species of millipede and isopod should be capable of coexisting in theory, I wouldn't take the risk myself. There are many protein-driven isopod species that would likely have no qualms munching on a millipede while vulnerable during a molt. Even isopod species that aren't necessarily protein driven are still opportunistic feeders. It's just asking for trouble, as well as complicating the husbandry.

If you have or wanted to make a post about your critters I think it would have a warm (cold) reception. I, for one, would love to see more Thanks for the reply! It made me happy

I'm glad! Maybe I'll make a post about our collection somewhere at some point :)

What an awesome setup! Can you give us some details about it?

Thanks! Not sure how much detail you're interested in, so prepare for an infodump..

Current setup for these millis is a 10gal glass aquarium with an acrylic top. Substrate is a mix of things - a solid layer of peat & soil on the bottom with layers of leaf litter, sphagnum moss and decomposing hardwood (which they eat).

They also munch on raw fruits & veggies - mine especially love cucumbers, mushrooms and apples - and have cuttlebone for calcium. They have a shallow water dish they can use, which I overfill to keep the substrate moist and humidity high. They share their space with springtails that act as a cleanup crew and keep mold from growing

I have multiple corkbark tubes buried in the sub that they enjoy crawling into and hiding in (they spend most of their time hiding out), but when they're out exploring they crawl all over the place

Do you handle them?

As with all of our invertebrates, we avoid handling them unless absolutely necessary/unavoidable - more for their safety than ours. Unlike some of our other inverts, the urge to handle these guys is hard to repress

Also, I see you got other things going on. Wanna share any other critters you have?

We keep all sorts of inverts, but spiders and tarantulas are our main obsession. We have over 50 tarantulas, hundreds of jumping spiders, and a small variety of other true spiders.

Here's my crested gecko, Yoshi, looking extra colored up

What a beautiful gecko! Great name too, ha! I think they're awesome but I know very little about their actual care and husbandry (my partner is the reptile expert) 😅

What are they doing in the last picture, just checking in with each other?

((,,((,,((,,((,,((,,(( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Some millipedes can excrete mild skin irritants, and I believe there are some rare tropical ones that can excrete cyanide? But millipedes can't bite (they are detrivores) and are generally harmless.

Centipedes are the bitey ones with gnarly venom.

Here's a couple of my Giant African Millipedes (Archospirostreptus gigas). They're the largest extant species of millipede (mine are over 10") . They are super gentle, slow moving, social creatures. I think they're both adorable and fascinating.

EDIT I'm an idiot and can't ever get spoiler tags to work in Boost

Spiders can absolutely become addictive though! I got my first pet jumping spider a couple years ago. I fell down the rabbit hole inadvertently pulling my lifelong arachnophobe partner with me. Our collection now inlcludes hundreds of jumpers, about 60 tarantulas, and a handful of other true spiders. Spiders fuggin rock.

My mom fucked up a cake she made for my niece about 10 years ago, and we've made sure to tell her "Happy Birtday" every year since

We also had an emergency Naked Bike Ride

Thought for sure this was a Dull Men's Club post

Also I used to be able to do this but I'm so old I wouldn't remember how either.

He is risen

Years ago my GF declared that if she were ever going to be in a porn, her nom de poon would be Teen LaQueefa. I settled on Kenny Lingus.

I'm just getting caught up, never watched any of their videos before either. Was hoping the drama was just over something inconsequential but juicy & amusing.. but no, of course it's something icky and depressing.

Also this is from Linus Sebastian's email response to the Verge:

In addition to our existing report systems (both anonymous and otherwise) we’ve proactively reached out internally today to encourage members of our team to report any workplace bullying or harassment..

So they're proactively reacting to the allegations? Am I just really stoned?
