Could I house giant millipedes in with GALS?
Millipedes use a noxious chemical produced by lateral glands, if threatened. Depending on the species of millipede and person, this could have the following affects; it irritates skin, mucous membranes and eyes. The skin firstly turns yellow, then red or black, can cause blisters and in serious cases skin comes away leaving scarring. If this substance is spayed on your hands, wash immediately with cold running water. The longer the millipedes are kept in captivity, the less toxic they become. If handled regular, they become use to this and don’t feel threatened. This is just a safety note – the above only happens in rare cases! How this would effect GALS,i don’t know, but if it can harm humans then my guess is that it could harm your snails.
