Animal care reference

Pill millipede care- Very high quality soil with flake soil mixed in preferable. No coco fiber at all. They really enjoy a lot of shredded white rotted wood. They also enjoy rotted wood chucks and pieces of bark with lichen. If you have access to chicken if the woods or any edible form of mushrooms they really like to hang out on those too. They like high humidity but not wet. I have them in a 15qt bin with 2, 2" vents with one on either end. I start them with 2-3" of soil and I add in about 1/2" of new soil each month along with new rotted wood. 

Eurydactylodes vieillardi Caresheet   Eurydactylodes vieillardi also known as chameleon geckos are arboreal geckos found in the forest and scrub lands of New Caledonia. 

They are relatively easy to care for.  I use Arcadia T5 6% UVB with all of my Eurydactylodes sp.  They love to bask under the linear bulbs.  I keep their basking area around 81-84F.  UVB is not a must, but I like to offer it to all of my arboreal geckos.  I find that with the use of UVB that I do not need a separate basking bulb. 

I house breeding pairs in 12x12x15 bioactive enclosures and offer both horizontal and vertical branches for climbing.   The addition of pothos and Hoya plants provide hiding places as well as shade to help them thermoregulate. The mid and lower portion of their vivariums typically are at room temp(74-76 in the summer and 65-66 in the winter). Their bioactives include spring tail, dwarf whites, and powder blue isopod. 

Juvenile are fed pinhead or 1/8” live crickets, bean beetle & peanut beetle larva, and Pangea diet.  Adults are fed 1/4” - 1/2” crickets, little Kenyan nymphs, and Pangea diet.  I sometimes see them feeding on isopod as well.  I offer both live feeders and gecko diet 2-3 times a week.  I dust feeders once a week. 

I mist once per day making sure to wet the sides of the tank and leaves.  I only mist enough to make sure the tank dries out before the end of the day. 

Eurydactylodes can produce a sticky stinky substance from their tails when threatened.  I have only had this occur when trying to assist with a stuck tail shed.  In the event this occurs, wash your hands with soap and water.
