Don't think I'll be getting any though!! But Rick, if you ever get any cresties then you should be able to keep them together! Woop!  |
Really is that true?

Ok, this is taken from Rhacodactylus - A Complete Guide
| Quote: | | The only invertebrate we've tried with crested geckos is the African giant black millipede. We've kept small groups (2-4) with crested geckos in naturalistic vivaria for more than three years. The millipedes will thrive on the supplemented baby food and/or on the artificial diet fed to the geckos. They will also eat fecal matter and decomposing vegetation. They come out of shelters often enough to be entertaining vivarium animals and will not harm crested gecko eggs. If a deep loamy substrate is provided, these millipedes may even breed for you. |

Well what an interesting combo! Never would have even considered that!
Multi- species set ups fascinate me, I know it takes a lot of research to get it right and often would help to keep each species separately first to gain good knowledge from experiential learning. One of my ambitions is to set up on or two multi species habitats. Thank you for that very thought provoking!
