Some in the poop cases and others were loose without any poop cases. Also yes I did find it interesting to find two different types of eggs. From all the pics I’ve seen of eggs it was always in clutches. It’s weird that a lot of them laid so close to the top I thought they were supposed to lay the eggs all in a clutch together.not spread out one egg at a time here and there. Hey, thanks for your reply I did increase the humidity by pouring filtered water down the sides of the terrarium glass but I was careful to not let there too be too much water so that it’s not sopping wet. I know it’s hard to see but the very last pic that looks like me holding a blob of dirt is actually a poop covered egg you can just barely see the bit of yellow egg inside of it!) Thanks for your time guys, sorry this was long I’m just extremely excited. ( I only discovered them when I carefully dig holes to bury the exposed eggs) The most eggs were there than any other area. My questions for you guys though, does anyone know about on average how long it takes for these eggs to hatch? I think I read up to 3 months but is this correct? Can the eggs drown If they’re in soil that is too damp? I’m asking because the soil around the water dish is always pretty damp (it’s not like dripping wet or anything) but it’s still quite damp because they constantly dump their water out or fill it up with dirt then dig it all out again or I have to dump it out and refill their water Pretty much every morning but that really damp area is where I found a TON of eggs. The eggs that have been laid are most certainly mardonius parilis acuticonus (Cameroon matte blacks) however there is a good chance that Spirostreptidae SP.8 (Greenstripe millipede) eggs have been laid as well as both these guys are currently actively breeding and digging constantly! Every time I look they’re getting busy! However that was quite a few years back and when I decided to get millipedes again I wanted to do everything correct this time and it appears to be working! ) (I literally spent hours upon hours and copious amounts of research to make the proper environment and proper substrate with decayed maple/oak wood and leaves and it seems to have paid off! My first ever millipedes I was instructed to keep them on cocofibre and just have a few sticks and water dish in there with some cucumber and that is like the worst set up in the world no wonder they never bred! It was completely inappropriate! I hate cocofibre for inverts! If you don’t know why it’s bad I can list off many reasons for you and how it can even kill millipedes it’s awful.

This is my first time ever having successful egg laying since I got my millipedes. I am always seeing 2 of my female Mardonius appear to be digging but not digging any tunnels and I found many eggs and even fresh eggs nearby them so I think they’re the culprits. I don’t know if the ones that weren’t covered just had the poop fall off of them or if they were laid by a difference species but most eggs looked really good. I have found some poop coated eggs and some not coated In Poop at all and some of the eggs either looked fairly yellow and some fairly white. I have found 2 different types of eggs and have 2 different millipedes happily cohabiting the same terrarium. They have laid them all over the place and I only discovered them because a bunch of tunnelling ‘pedes unearthed several eggs and I found some dried out so I had to rebury the good ones quickly in some moist substrate. Some millipedes such as garden millipedes feed directly on plants rather than decaying, decomposing plant debris and often are the greatest millipede nuisances to homeowners.Hey guys! I’m HELLA stoked to report my giant millipedes have laid eggs! I have some pics and some questions below so if you have any experience with hatching millipede eggs I hope you can answer. Usually only a few millipedes come inside however, for reasons not fully understood sometimes millipedes will invade indoor locations by the hundreds and become very annoying to occupants. Millipedes are not much of a problem for homeowners unless the conditions outdoors become dry and millipedes move indoors to find places where the conditions are moister.

Their body is cylindrical shaped, often brown or darker in color, about one inch long and they usually roll up into a spiral shape if disturbed or whenever their habitats (moist locations under rocks, leave litter and mulch) become dry. Millipedes are fairly easy to identify since they have many legs – one pair of legs on their first three body segments and two pairs on the other body segments. Millipedes Millipede Species IdentificationĪrthropod experts have identified almost 1,000 species of millipedes in the United States, so the types of millipedes are plentiful and quite diverse.
