These guys were found on the east coast of florida near Miami.
I have tried like hell to I.D these guys from pics off the internet, but fail.

Thanks in advance.

Yep, they were introduced in landscape plants and have become pretty common near Miami. If they hadn't accidentally introduced them nobody would have ever seen this species in the hobby.

Cool! Thanks a lot. I knew they were an invasive species in florida. Man, in some spots there are thousands of them. One side of a dominos wall was covered in them. Very cool millipede.

Yeah I know they're in Fort Pierce, but he said he collected some where he is located, which is in Miami.

Naw, I see that he is located in Ft. Pierce, so he should collect vagans first, then go collect millipedes in Miami. I never said I was located anywhere. No Ts in Miami that I know of. I just went down there for a little vacation with a few members of the board.
Might as well go collect some Centruroides gracilis on the keys while your at it.
