They only eat things with green hair. But under extreme circumstances they have been known to feed on blue and yellow hair as well.
Lugworms eat sand -Not exactly- Lugworms do feed off little particles of sediment, like sand, but they aren't actually eating the sand- their mouth filters out the edible stuff- like bacteria, microorganisms and detritus, and leaves behind the bigger particles, like the actual grains of sand
Well worms like it just the way there used to so get a large bowl,put dirt in it,get some leaves and twigs,and put very little water to make it moist.Whenthe leaves get dried up put new ones.The water will be gone the next day so water it daily,the best place to find worms is where a lot of dirt is and where its moist.
How long can a millipede grow?
There are a variety of millipedes kept as pets that are generally called giant millipedes or giant African millipedes (e.g. Archispirostreptus spp, Scaphiostreptus spp). There are several species available, but there is often confusion over the exact species since species identification can be quite difficult in living specimens and there appears to be some dispute over the correct scientific names of some millipedes. However, while there is some variation in appearance, the giant millipedes are largely similar in their characteristics and care.
Quick Facts
- Adult size is about 10 inches long.
- In general, giant millipedes have an expected lifespan of about 7-10 years.
- They have two main modes of defense if they feel threatened: they curl into a tight spiral, and they secrete an irritating liquid from pores on their body. This liquid can be harmful if it gets in your eyes or mouth so you must wash your hands after handling a millipede. Some people are more sensitive to the liquid than others, and some species are more "toxic" than others.
- They can be handled, and are quite docile and slow moving.
- They get along fine with others so you can keep more than one per tank. They do breed quite readily so if you have males and females together you may find yourself with babies. Male millipedes have modified legs on the 7th body segment called gonopods. These legs look different than the other legs (they have grasping claws) and are often carried tucked up under the body.
- Millipedes do not actually have a thousand legs - they usually have between 100-400 (2 sets of legs per body segment). Each time they molt, they add more segments and therefore more legs.
Housing Giant Millipedes
- Cage Size: as a general rule, a 10-15 gallon aquarium is ample room for a couple of millipedes. Make sure the length of the tank is at least twice the length of the millipede (and the width as wide as the millipede is long). Floor space is more important than height. A lid is a good idea.
- Substrate: millipedes like to burrow a bit so a good layer (3-4 inches) of peat moss or a peat moss/soil mixture (no chemical or fertilizer added) can form the base. This can be covered with some sphagnum moss and pieces of bark to provide additional cover. Leaf litter can also be used, although you may want to freeze it first to kill insects in it. The substrate should be kept damp (but not wet).
- Heat and Humidity: there are varied opinions on the appropriate temperatures for giant millipedes. Since millipedes hail from tropical climates, many keepers recommend that the tank should be kept at about 75-80 F (24-27 C) or even as high as 85 F (30 C). An under tank heater on a thermostat (as sold for reptile keeping) placed under one half of the tank can be used to heat the tank. If placing a heater under the tank warms the substrate too much or dries it out, the heat pad can be affixed to the side or part of the back of the tank. On the other hand, many keepers do not provide supplemental heat. If this is the case, make sure your room temperature during the day is at least 72 F (22 C), although a slight drop at night should be okay. The humidity level should also be kept quite high, and this can be achieved by keeping the substrate damp (not wet) with regular misting.
- Light: no special lighting is required, and should be avoided as the millipedes will spend most of their time hiding to avoid the light.
- Water: provide a bit fresh drinking water in a very shallow dish, and clean regularly.
They can but shouldn't. Wax worms are an "unclean" food based on sound dietary laws.
It is probably a land planaria, a type of flatworm. They originated in Asia and have spread via the pots of plants purchased by growers and gardeners. They have spread into the environment in areas that have a warm, moist climate.
Worms don't really have a memory, because these invertebrates don't have central brains like mammals do; invertebrates don't have a specific central nervous system. (However, grasshoppers have five brains each.)
An earthworm does not have any heart at all. But they do have an organ that acts similarly to a heart and is usually called a heart just for simplicity's sake, although is is also called an aortic arch. Earthworms have five of these arches. In between each arch is a gland that helps the worm digest calcium, which it gets from eating a lot of dirt. size The heart and calciferous gland section makes up less than five percent of an earthworm's total body length, no matter how big the individual worm gets.
Function
The aortic arches (hearts) help pump blood around the body of the earthworm in a similar way to animals that have only one multi-chambered heart. Worm "hearts" don't have chambers. Worms also don't have lungs. They absorb oxygen through their skin and then it gets into their blood vessels. The dorsal blood vessel does a bit of the pumping work, with the hearts helping to keep blood pressure steady.

Why is segmentation an important evolutionary step for annelida?
Segmentation is an advantage for annelid worms because it is accompanied by the duplication of some internal organs.
What are the main symptoms of human worms?
Are white worms in your poo goof for you?
No its actually not. You just have pin worms. I had the same thing too and I just got Reece's pinworm medicine and they went away. It's over the counter medicine and pretty cheap. Its very common
What are the different types of worms a cat can get?
The common types of worms in cats are ringworms (which is not technically a worm but a fungal disease of the skin and hair), roundworms (which are internal and live in the cat's belly or intestines), tapeworms (also an internal parasite that you can find in your cat's feces and also affects dogs), hookworms (which are found in the cat's intestines and get their name from their teeth that they use to attach to the intestines and are particularly dangerous to kittens), and lungworms (these often go undiagnosed because the symptoms, coughing and difficulty in breathing, are usually only exhibited with a very heavy infection. Take cats to the vet right away if you suspect they have worms, they can be gotten rid of easily through either conventional or homeopathic remedies if they are caught early.
Porpoises are mammals and so they are warm-blooded like you and I.
How many legs does a millapead have?
one million
no actually. MILLI (thousand) PED (legs) doesn't actually have a thousand legs. Common species have between 36 and 400 legs. Rare species have up to 750.
Why is the relationship between Leeches and Fish commensalism?
Exploitation - Parasitism. The fish gains nothing from having a leech suck its blood but the leech gains food and nutrients.
Maggots are the larvae of flies, one of the growth stages between eggs and the adult fly.
How does an earthworm differ from a roundworm?
Roundworms can cause serious damage to humans and other living things. Roundworms also live in pigs, so when people eat it pork undercooked, they can have roundworms inside their body, where it causes a disease. Earthworms cannot do any of these things that roundworms can do.
(Roundworms are parasites, so if you don't want to have parasites inside your body organs, DON'T EAT UNDERCOOKED PORK OR ANY TYPE OF MEAT)
No, bacteria an algae are the most common autotrophs.
