I origianlly had Brookesia superciliaris in the vivarium. According to Glaw and Vences, they come from some of the same locations as U.phantasticus. They were doing fine but they did die shortly after I got them. My AC went out and the temps got to high. The phantasticus. made it thruogh fine though. They are doing quite well. I'm going to try B.stumpfii in the tank next. I know they don't come form the same area, but the have essentialy the same habits as superciliaris and should do well in this setup. They will make a good alternitive. The millipedes are really just there in to help break down waste. This vivarium also uses an experimantal living substrate system and the millipedes are part of that. I just thuoght I should get the Madagascan kind since that is the theme of the vivarium.
