Right I have a millipede I need identified! I've kept this beauty for over six months now, could be almost a year...
I thought it was aulacobolus rubropunctatus but I don't really know much about millipedes... That's where you folks come in. :)





It's an active little thing anyway. It walked all over my hands and wouldn't stay still for a second.

So yeah - is this a vietnamese rainbow millipede or an american? Can these be sexed too?

It looks like a vietnamese millipede.
if you look at the 7th pair of legs starting from the head. if they look really big or they look different from the rest of the legs then it is a male, but if you look at the 7th pair from the head down and it looks like regular legs, then it is a female.
cheers

the lead singer of my favourate band named my first lizard Hokookxkapa. he's awesome and so was that lizard. I have Sephiq, Friel, Phare Phion, Rochas, and Baedon.

I use those names for EVERYTHING

Those names must be Irish, because i have never heard of them before.
