Hello!

I have a mystery. I had 3 millipedes (Spirobulus spp- "Large southern millepede). Lovely specimens. They were doing fine for several months, eating quite well, then one died. I examined it, and it seemed several of the segments were yellowish and slightly swollen.

Yesterday I found #2 dead, the same thing.

Today it seems #3 is lethargic.

Are these fellows getting sick, or dying from an unsuccessful molt? If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

I don't seem to have good luck with these supposedly "easy to care for" critters. Rather frustrating!
