Thank you, Infernalis, for understanding.
I wanted to see if I could add more insects or things like worms (of course) to help keep the cage clean and the habitat a little more suitable.
The beetle, for those who do not know, eats rotting wood. The ceder millipede eats dead leaves.
The reason I asked is to make sure if the insects would carry any disease with them that could be harmful to my snakes that I wouldn't know about. I have cared for my insects for about a month to see if anything was un-right about them, which they don't, and make sure that if I were to put them in the enclosure, that there should be something I should worry about (since I am new to bio-active habitats).
--I do not have my two snakes in the same enclosure. Only someone new to snakes and does not do research would put a king in with another snake.
