If your Cham doesn’t take interest in eating them it may be okay

Wish I had advice but I’m also dealing with greenhouse millipedes. I repotted and they CAME BACK. Sprinkles eats the dirt now trying to eat them. I took out so many infested plants. I suggest starting new /:

Hi everyone! Update on sprinkles - his edema improved once switching calcium. Major thanks to Beman for the recs on a new calcium. He is back on dusting every feeding without D3 and twice a month vitamin with D3. He is not gripping branches with his back legs while basking. His back legs seem...

Literally looks so uncomfy haha

Keep us updated. Hope your baby feels better soon

If it makes you feel any better- twins😂 Sometimes they are just weird little guys. Sprinky never does this either and slept this way the other night.

And of course my Cham is like- yummmm

Hahaha it gave me full body chills even taking a picture. I need a hazmat suit to deal with it😫

Good idea! They invaded plants with like 3 different brands of soil so it’s hard to know if that’s the reason or not. I will update (:

So I noticed them in only one plant that wasn’t even in his enclosure! I repotted that one and thought all was ok… but now they are everywhere. I am going to repot all of his enclosure this weekend. I will make sure to wash the plants as well, thanks!

Hi everyone! I recently posted about sprinkles eating dirt and I took his plants out and discovered a ton of tiny millipedes. I guess he has a better eye than I do. About 8 of his plant’s soil are covered in them )): Any idea on how to control this? There’s a few big ones but mostly babies...

UPDATE: soil eating : I found millipedes infesting his soil. Which I haven’t been able to see for some reason. Since he is taking interest in them I will repot😭 Does anyone know if greenhouse millipedes are toxic? I know centipedes are a lot of times. The internet has mixed info on it. Worried...

That is probably it. Thank you for the rec on calcium you helped a lot!

aww lol. Glad to hear other chams are weirdos too. I got so scared because Sprinky never does that and I watch him like a hawk for changes hahha

Thank you for the reassurance. I wish I took more pictures I only have these from the beginning of January. So I suppose cutting back supplements helped a ton.

I could just be paranoid. I watch him super closely lol. His grip is strong but less than when he was a baby. There is no discoloration or wounds. The edema will be here one week and less visible the next. So maybe the reduction of supplements helped. He is not patrolling his cage or active...

I switched about a month and a half ago to Dubias as a main feeder.

I really appreciate the tips and vet recs. If I can't get this sorted out this week I will be going to see Dr Greek. Any tips on transport? My last visit was a disaster because he hated the car.

Here he is today. the edema is not super noticeable. It's strange. Thanks for your help!

Hi Beman! I will go take some pictures of him. The edema varies week by week, it actually isn't super visible today but I can feel it if I touch him. He started with the dirt eating about 2 months ago. He has a large appetite still, I will cut back on feeding now. He was pissed off here haha...
