- Hey Guys,
I hope you like the video!
This was to show how I keep and look after my Giant African Millipede's, care for them & dietary requirements. I also wanted to show the feeder tub I use for my feeder insects & other critters like culturing springtails etc...
As always, Peace & Love!

love it as ever!! 🥰
may i ask what tank you use for your giant african millies? it looks so luxurious and nicely lit (as well as the amazing job you've done with substrate and plants, obviously)! would love to move mine into something like this eventually 😊 anyway, thank you for another brilliant update!!
Hello Dakota ❤️
Yeah of course - I believe the tank was a 60x45x45cm opti-white aquarium. Meaning it’s clearer. I used a Nicrew light which was around 55cm length too, which has white & blue LEDS. It was only around £20-£30 I think for the light. My substrate was literally soil from outside mixed with 1 bag of 5L peat & coco free soil which just padded it out a little more 😃
Thank you so much for tuning in ❤️
Good work Mr.antscape
Thank you so much buddy! ❤️
Great vid great info,
Thank you pal ❤️
Great video, nice to see millipedes getting some love
Thank you buddy! That means a lot man, they’re truly beautiful creatures and I LOVE them. Thank you for watching too ❤️😃
@@AntScapes1 No worries, yeah millipedes are fantastic
Great video as always and very informative those springtails are everywhere. How many times did you say regardless 😅👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.😀🐜🇬🇧
I know! I just realised when I watched it back this morning it was too many times but I’d already formatted it 😂
@@AntScapes1 regardless it made me laugh 😉🤣👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@happyantuk1995 😂😂 - just realised I hadn’t seen this! That made me chuckle 😂
@@AntScapes1 🤣🤣🤣 you liked the word play then 🤣
Quite scary when they escape as they're quite a size! What camera do you use as the close range perspective quality is awesome?
I literally only use my iPhone mate, not the best one either. I’m hoping to get better recording gear soon so I can make higher quality videos 💁🏼♂️
@@AntScapes1 Canon G7X always seems the go to camera these days for these types of videos it seems.
8:07 Wow that's alot!
Haha yeah man they’re going craaaazy!
I really struggle to find any enclosures that has enough height to support millipedes of this size. Where did you get yours? Are there any you would recommend?
You'll find plenty of fishtanks that are 24 inches deep easy enough second hand
What plants did you use in the tank? I'm too scared to put living plants in incase mine eat them and die!
Never be afraid to plant up a tank, they barely eat them. Plus it only adds colour and life to the setup.
I used English Ivy, ficus pumila, pepperomias, Australian ivy and a few others 😄
I really need you to answer this question because I’ve done loads of research but I can’t really find anything, do you ever clean their enclosure?
I don’t mean the glass, like do you ever fully redo it?
I tend to just wipe the glass down, I add leaf litter every couple of weeks or mainly until it’s all eaten then add more leaf litter 😄
@@AntScapes1oh ok🙂👍 also, I really wanna forage for some hardscape/moss, I already know when stuff looks safe to use and not safe because I have loads of terrariums, but if I do forage for stuff, is there a lot of danger in that or is it fairly safe?
