Hoping to order the millies soon! It's finally starting to cool off now. I've been able to keep the tank around 75% humidity without spraying it for weeks at a time, so that's nice. Really looking forward to getting these guys!!

Oh for sure! I'll try my best to get some before they go in the tank, since they like to hide in the ground. And I don't wanna interrupt any naps! :D

I would think they might be a little "camera shy"...like Milton. ;) We'll look forward to seeing the pics...:)

Don't have them yet! You better believe I'll take pictures once they get here!! And I'll be able to add them to my siggie!!!

I've worked out a name for one, trying to figure out a name for the other. I'll take it as it goes, see what the little guy (or lady!)'s personality is.

(By the way, the way to tell a male from a female is to count 7 segments back. If there are no legs on the 7th segment, then its a male, and if there are, a female. I'm hoping to figure out their sexes before they go in the tank, so it can go on their nametags I'm gonna put on the tank!)

Thank you!!:heart: I'm really excited too.

Centipedes are pretty funky looking, I'm not a fan either. But as long as they leave me alone, I'll leave them alone!! :)
