Giant african millipedes?!?!?!

Question

hey i have a gient african millipede and i was wondering what other substrate can u put on the bottom of the millipedes tank apart from coco fibre cause its hard to find coco fibre here. thanks

Answer 1

organic (pesticide and fertilizer free) potting soil stick it in the mircowave for about 1 minute too kill any nasties that may be living in it and u have a nice clean easy to acquire substrate  

Answer 2

totally agreed with above, but you are going to want to microwave or bake the soil longer than a minute.

white flies can survive up to 10 minutes in the micro, trust me i've been there, and IT SUCKS!

i had to replant and clean 3 tanks for my geckos because of those buggers.

you can also use bed-a-beast or organic jungle earth from pet stores, even peaked moss is good tooo :D
