Default Can you house White lined geckos with giant millipedes

Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to have a communal setup with african giant millipedes and white lined geckos, I know people have had success doing this with rhacodactylus geckos, but I have never heard of it being done with any other type of geckos, could there be a reason for this. Thanks in advance

I do this since many many years (Archispirostreptus).
No problem.

Cheers

In go

Thank you for the reply, I find the idea of having Millipedes with geckos pretty awesome so this is certainly good news.

Won't the millipedes eat the hatchlings? If you plan to have any, that is...

No, other way round. Sometimes the adult geckos prey on juvenile milipedes despite of their bad taste.
But they never eat all.

P.S.: Of course the tank should be large enough. 65g and up.

65g, wow I would have thought something like 30 high for a milipede and gecko.

There is still adifference in housing philosophy between european and US herpers.
So you may decide. I personally think, 30g is borderline even for a small single vittatus.
