millipede id please

[el_barto]

Hi all

Sorry for the bad quality of the pictures, my camera is very bad. They were sold to me as "African black millipedes". They are over 15 cm (6 inches) long, mostly black with some red on the rings. The legs are red except the tip which is black. The underneath is mostly red.

Thanks.

What's he eating in the first pic?

It's a mixture that my petshop sells, they call it "cricket food". It's basically a mixture of barley, bran and other kind of cereals. They seem to love that even if it is not what they would eat in the wild.
