Great video! These were the first millipedes I ever kept and bred. I adore them! I don’t currently have any, but some of my flamelegs’ descendants are still in the hobby. 😊👍
@@SupremeGecko You get snow and the cold wet snow assists with the leaves decay(compost). I don't get snow unless up in the Mountains, so I use the freezer as a substitute for winter/snow. Since Spring is here, I will put the leaves in a storage container and outside in the sun.
Excellent video, Wally, and it's great to see that you have some Flameleg Millipedes. I always watch your videos anyway and love to see a millipede video, of course. Be sure to check out the legs on this species under UV/blacklight! You cracked me up about mentioning the leaf stems several times. I'm the same way. Left on, they will just stay in the tank forEVER! You probably noticed we pull the majority of them off before we pack the leaf bags. I do recommend you crush the leaves up into fine'ish bits as you put them atop the substrate. It's especially important to make them more accessible for young millipedes if you reproduce the species. Your sphagnum moss is a great addition! There is also ground sphagnum moss in the substrate we provide. I appreciate the great video on this species, and thanks so much for the shoutout! I'd also like to offer a $50 gift certificate to your end of the year giveaway or some contest before that if you're up for it. Thanks so much!
Hey Peter! Thank you so much for everything- additions in the recent shipment, wonderful comments in my videos, and always wanting everyone to learn and keep their animals as best as they can. So many things I don't know- I will def. check with a blacklight. Man, I HATE leaf stems!!! And I noticed that about the leaves you sent. WOW! Way to go the extra mile! I usually do crush up leaves. I think I just got into the flow of the video and didn't want to take more time. And that substrate! WOW, perfect. I wanted to make some 'drug related' comment but I didn't think that would go over well. The gift certificate is again, above and beyond. I will gladly accept as I think this giveaway will be amazing, and would love for you to be in it. The last 12 Supreme Days of Christmas we did, we gave out over $2000 of gifts! Thank YOU so much.
Yeah high quality flake soil is hard to come by. I made some before for rearing beetles. Im currently in the process of making more substrate. Want to be able to get some milipedes as well.
@@SupremeGecko very acurate its long and tedious. It can be made faster by constant mixing but it normally takes 3 months if done fast and 6 months to a year if not.
I know. I wasn't either a few years ago but now, it's just like holding an isopod. NOTHING like a centipede. Next time you are over, ask to hold one (also check out the Ivory Millipede video where Christal holds one.
Awesome animals! Thanks for the video :) I have to look into getting some of these myself... Why did you put the moss at the side of the container with ventilation? It absorbs more moisture and stays wet longer if its on the other end?
I've heard that you can do a black light on these guys and they glow up very bright especially as adults. I believe that I heard this from bugs in cyberspace. He has soo many critters. I've also been watching Rus from aquarimax. Enjoy all of your content thanks!! Have a great night! Ha I wrote this before you even mentioned bugs in cyberspace lol.
Are you able to identify then sex of these? Are they similar to others where you look at the front most segments to tell? Because I'm looking at getting some I just don't want to have to buy 10 of them just to be sure I have a pair.
Hi again can i put water bowl in the corner of the enclosure to help the humidty? and for the ventilation do i need to poke holes on the top or the front and back side? And instead of heat mat can i steam some cloth and put on the sides? (my enclosure is translusent plastic container that have a plastic cover,and have four holes for each side)also did you use cheese cloth for the ventilation?
Rather than a water bowl, put a piece of sphagnum moss in there and cover it with bark. For ventilation, we provide holes both on the sides and on top. If you cannot do a heat map (IF you need to provide more warmth) place the enclosure near a light or some other object that will allow the temps to raise a few degrees. Yes, cheese cloth along with other materials works well.
@@SupremeGecko hi again well my millipede is on the same spot for the past few minutes or hours,well its moving around its body like its cleaning its self and doesnt eat all the food i gave him and if theres poo every where then its mean its eating healthy right? And where can i put it? Im scared to put it somewhere cause you know ants,lizards etc and if i have no oak or other wood you use on the video can i try other wood that i can find? What kind of color do millipedes have when unhealthy and btw my i made my substrate myself its compost of :cocopeat :blacksoil or potting soil :Saw dust
@@cheese5943 I really enjoy answering questions but with so many, it's best if you jest message me on FB. Conversations on YT are difficult to follow with multiple threads. Thanks
@@SupremeGecko btw can i only use cocopeat, blacksoil(unfertilized), and leaf litter only? or should i add some rotting wood(powderized) too? Also should i put live moss(moss that grows on rocks or trees) and a rotting wood for them to live in? Or no? Also(again) should i make more holes for the enclosure?(mines a plastic container i cant find one)
Thanks for the sub! I really appreciate that. I checked out your channel too and love your videos. Reminds me of my childhood- Bet I had 500 Hot Wheels/Matchbox.... and this was 50-55 years ago! Favs were the Beatnic Bandit and the I believe it was called Twin Turbo. :)
Hi again..so one of my friends said if a parasitic fungus spread all over the exoskeleton it can cause the pede to have a organ failure? Im not sure if its true... And what are the signs that your millipede have fungus in it?and my flamelegs has some kind of dust alike in its near the anus and over his head,its white and i cleanse it with some wet cotton buds and some of it is gone..im scared idk what to do how to identify a fungus growing on my pede?? Help

They are beautiful. The first ones I every saw were on your channel Rus- and I obviously fell in love with them.
Thank you again Bugs in Cyberspace for the substrate material (link in description).
.
I agree theses are super cool. Fingers crossed you have a pair!
Thank you! I'm hoping.
if that isn't a absolutely gorgeous animal i don't know what is.
Right?!?
Very cool critters !! I put leaves in a gallon ziplock bag in the freezer to start them to compost. I really love your channel and videos.
This is the first I've heard adding leaves to the freezer will start them to decay ('compost'). Thanks. And thank you for the very nice comment.

Thanks Crystal. Very fortunate to work with these.

Wow Wally looks like something else I might be getting into, very interesting.
Thanks Robert. They are neat. Just concerned a bit about their lifespan
Beautiful millipede!
Thank you Anna.
Wow they are very pretty!
Thank you so much Taevian. Hope you are doing well and are safe.
I absolutely love these! I remember seeing them on the arachnoboards forum a while ago. I love these millipede videos!
Waaaaay underrated. Beautiful animals.
That is one beautiful looking millipede!
Thank you so much. Fingers crossed for some babies.
These are so beautiful!!!
Thanks! They are better in person.
Yeah high quality flake soil is hard to come by. I made some before for rearing beetles. Im currently in the process of making more substrate. Want to be able to get some milipedes as well.
I've not tried it but I've heard it is a long tedious process. Is that true?
@@SupremeGecko very acurate its long and tedious. It can be made faster by constant mixing but it normally takes 3 months if done fast and 6 months to a year if not.
@@CosmicDarkLord Yes, that is what I've heard too. I didn't want to go into much details in the video but it is a long and tedious process.
awesome video!!! Now i want a flame leg millipede
They are so beautiful.
I missed this with everything that happened at work Thanks for putting up such awesome videos to take my mind off things my friend!
It know your schedule and appreciate whenever you have a chance to check in.
Thank you for sharing Wally. I am thinking one day about getting a millipede when things calm down. Take care and be safe.
I'm starting to breed my ivories and bumblebees. Very cool to see little slivers all over the enclosure.
@@SupremeGecko I hope you show us some babies sometime. My granddaughter has found several outside and a ton of isopods.
@@barbhelle5481 outstanding. It is so great when the kids get involved
What interesting creatures! I'm still not sure how I feel about them.
I know. I wasn't either a few years ago but now, it's just like holding an isopod. NOTHING like a centipede. Next time you are over, ask to hold one (also check out the Ivory Millipede video where Christal holds one.
Great video
Thank you so much (as always)
What a beauty 🥰
Thank you.
Thank you for the helpful video! I have a breeding trio on the way next week!
Now that is exciting! Keep me posted on how they do.
Love these! They seem to be hard to come by lately
I agree. I was looking for some time.
I got some Alienostreptus bicoloripes, they look the same with your but the different is thier antenna. Your are red but mine is yellow :D
Thanks for the watch and they sound really cool.
Awesome animals! Thanks for the video :) I have to look into getting some of these myself...
Why did you put the moss at the side of the container with ventilation? It absorbs more moisture and stays wet longer if its on the other end?
Great point. Maybe because I was doing the video and not watching the side I was adding it to :) :) Dohhhhh! Thanks again Ray.

Thank you.
Can't u make ur own substrate with ur garden stuff?
If you want, sure!
@@SupremeGecko ok.thankyou,madam🌻
@@vidaripollen Sir :)
Christal loves theses guys
So do i
Can you do an update on these?
I can schedule. Thanks.
Are you able to identify then sex of these? Are they similar to others where you look at the front most segments to tell? Because I'm looking at getting some I just don't want to have to buy 10 of them just to be sure I have a pair.
Not that I've seen but I may be missing it.
I really like the millipedes but I don't think I can convince Becky to let me get some lol
Come on! Christal holds them all the time. As well...... you have TARANTULAS! These are millipedes that cannot hurt you. :)
@@SupremeGecko I know they can't hurt you but it has to do with a new hobby lol 😆
@@DEAexotics I know I know I know. Very trickey
@@SupremeGecko lol atleast you understand how this can be a very slippery slope
I didn't even know we had these. Please don't tell me how much these cost!
Dan said I could have as many as I wanted for free.

I do not know. I am still learning myself. My guess is that you can.
can you please link me the page you bought them from :)
Your wish is my command :) facebook.com/animalhousellc/ Ask for Dan and tell them Wally sent you.
wow thats a lot of legs
These animals are incredibly beautiful.
cool!
Thanks Mike
What website you bought the millipede from?
You can check with facebook.com/animalhousellc/ Ask for Dan and tell them Wally sent you.

I live in the Philippines and I don't know if I should buy them or just hunt for them
Check your local laws for sure with this!
Some websites says that this is toxic and it secretes poison. is this true?
It is very mild and I would not consider it a poison
Thanks
