Snail Girls

NO ONE better do this when we get snails in the third grade classrooms later on this trimester!!!!!! Disgusting!!!

the millipede

Hi all,

For the past few weeks the millipede seems like she's been sick: she's not as active as she usually is and doesn't seem to be eating a lot. Also, the mites she used to have on her aren't there anymore. I went to the East Bay Viviarium and asked for advice. It could be one of several things... maybe she will molt soon (wouldn't that be exciting?) and insects usually slow down before they molt. Also, it seems like it is definitely not humid enough in the tank for her. Tomorrow morning I am going to add some moist soil to the habitat. Also, I will put Saran Wrap on the cover to help increase the humidity. We'll see what happens. I hope she starts to feel better.

At the vivarium they had a baby giant african millipede. I took a picture of it with my cellphone's camera. It's an up close picture so it looks bigger than it really was. In reality it wasn't bigger than a quarter. It was soooooo cute!!!!!
