Heh, I'm positive........ about getting a North American Millipede. I have more Q's.

Ok, I read on a site (couldn't find any books) that you can put in 50-50 potting soil for their dirt stuff (lol), but does this stuff stink? Does they..... yeah, the feces stink? I have caterpillars, and that doesn't bother me at all. Is this the same thing, only a caterpillar that lives in dirt and doesn't pupate?

I have "critter cages", which are insect containers with strong snap on lids with holes on top. So strong I can barely get them open. I can, I just have trouble. Is this container a really good idea?

I'm positive about getting the common one, in the thread name, cause this will be my first millipede, and I don't wanna go through lights and stuff and heaters an' all... even though I'm gonna get one of those special lights so I can watch my millipede (only getting one) at night.

I'm going to get potting soil, cause the woods around my place, are covered up in briars! So I can't get to the soil.

What should I do? Err, I mean, suggestions? XD
