So, uhhh...
You know that thing people sometimes say when they see something cute, like babies or whatever? "You're so cute, I could eat you up!"?
As weird as a compliment it is, I say it to my desert millipedes. At least, the latter portion, and I put my own twist to it:
"I could slurp you up!"
Get it? Cuz, they're like, noodles with legs! eheheheh...
Oh, what a nutter I must be.
Well, I used to, at any rate.
A few weeks ago they buried themselves to molt. At least, I know for certain one of them did. I managed to catch glimpses of it half-buried and working its way into the dirt. The other two simply disappeared, and I can only imagine they did the same. Though, for all I know, they could simply be hanging out underneath that one log with most of my bess beetles.
So now I'm just waiting for them to reappear someday. I can't deny, I'm a bit worried that they won't ever. As absurd a fear it may be (I mean... millipedes aren't known for being hard to keep), since this is the first time I've experienced any of my millipedes molting, I fear that despite me reading so much and following guides as best I can, I've somehow messed up.
Ah, well. Just gotta be patient...
