Hello-
I'm new to the board, so just wanted to post what I have, and ask a couple questions. I currently have 11 Florida millipedes (I'm crap with latin, but will try HARD to pick it up and fit in!), and 9 African giants. My AFG's are still tiny at about 1"-1 1/2". My Floridas are about 2 1/2"-3".

AFGs
I think my Floridas are large enough to sex, and I do see differences in the legs between either set #5 or #7 on a few of them when I use a 30x loupe. Is that what I'm supposed to be looking for?
Also, I bought the Floridas as just that....Florida Millipedes. I don't have much experience with these guys, but I didn't think the true Florida ivories had such strong yellow? Could these actually be an introduced West Indian type that I keep hearing about?
Thanks!
