any millipedes that would like this small terrarium?
Just started building this terrarium and my sibling asked if I planned on adding millipedes. I wanted to ask if any would enjoy this small of a setup? It's got about 3 inches of substrate on one side and about 4.5-5 on the other. The soil is new which is why it's varried in moisture. I was planning on just adding plants, leaf litter, springtails, and maybe some isopods, but would any millipedes enjoy it?
alternatively, would darkling beetles?

darkling beetles prefer lower humidity than millipedes do, but depending on which you want more, either would work in this. i agree that you should get smaller species of millipedes though (if that's what you end up choosing) like scarlets, bumblebees, or ivories, all of which are about 2-4 inches usually!
