Stone Centipedes breeding, possible problem?

[Larry Wardog]

The frogs more than likely know better than to eat the millipedes then. But I still wouldn't leave the centipedes in there, sure toads are tough critters that eat bees and stuff but why take that risk? I mean, you wouldn't leave a coyote in a room with a bunch of rattlesnakes just because they coexist in the wild.
BTW now that you mention that you have toads, I can tell you that the centipedes had nothing to do with the slug's disappearance. Your population of woodlice ain't gonna last long either I bet.

I actually have had a colony of Woodlice since June. You should never assume. I have yet to see one of my animals eat the Woodlice. I have not lost any. When I put my hand in the dirt, babies run out like crazy, so they have bread more than I though they would. So I actually do not believe your assumption because of the population multiplying by 10 in 5 months. I understand your concern with the centipedes. They can be a problem. I have 8-9 inches of dirt and they made tunnel systems 4-6 inches under which is why they haven't been eaten. If things have been going as planned so far, I see no immediate danger since it's been almost 6 months. The Viv will be completely changed in a month anyway so it's pointless to wreck it now.

Maybe you have one of the foul tasting woodlice species. There's at least one common species that nothing will eat. I've tried keeping a colony of armadillidium vulgare with some young fowler's toads before, and they were gone within two weeks once the toads were added. But there are other wood louse species (one of the "sow bugs" that don't roll up completely) that I've yet to have something try to eat more than once.
