Is this Chicobolus spinigerus? Do they have lots of different color forms?

They are really easy guys to work with. A great first millipede to have. Yes it is a Chicobolous Spinigerous. If you have two in the same tank, be careful cause mine bred very quickly. If your adults disappear underground for more than a week and a half, take care in looking for them cause they may have bred. Have fun with your new babies :D

See this is why I wonder what color forms known. I've seen light legged and dark legged labeled Fl Ivorys..

And if the missing pair of legs on the 7th segment applies to this species I think mine's a girl :)

edit: that is if the males are the ones missing the legs..
