I’ve seen this situation before, and honestly, it feels worse than it actually is. You notice one millipede, ignore it, then suddenly… there are more. It almost feels like they’re “multiplying overnight.” But in reality, something simple is happening.

Millipedes love moisture. And your chameleon’s cage? It’s basically paradise for them—humid soil, organic matter, and plenty of hiding spots. Even if you removed visible dead leaves, there’s still microscopic organic material in the soil that they feed on. That’s enough.

Here’s the part most people miss. These bugs usually don’t come from nowhere—they come from the soil itself. If you’ve ever added plants, substrate, or even decorations, there’s a good chance tiny eggs or juveniles came along with it. I’ve personally seen this happen after adding “clean” potting soil.

Now about them escaping. That’s actually a clue. When millipedes start wandering out, it usually means their population inside has grown. They spread out looking for space or new food sources. The good news? They don’t survive long outside because your room is too dry.

What this means for you

It’s annoying, yes. Stepping on them isn’t fun. But it’s not dangerous or “dirty” in the way it feels. They’re actually harmless decomposers.

Still, I get it—I wouldn’t want them crawling around either. Simple fixes like letting the top soil dry slightly, reducing excess moisture, or checking new plants before adding them can make a big difference.

I’ve tested this myself, and once moisture levels drop just a bit, their numbers usually fall fast.

I said I remembered when I was eating them. I'm not longer in the village. Currently in Japan 🗾

Why would anyone want to keep chameleons and what's with this new fixation with chameleons on Nairaland these days?

And you lot always criticizing the op haven't realized he's not a Nigerian. Not even a black person.
