Yea I've got a baby tiger and he's pretty awesome.

I think A. gigas and Spirostreptidae sp. 8 are my favorite millipede species, at least at the moment.

Yea I've been looking for a A.Gigas for about 3-4 months now and I can't find them for sale anywhere.

I know less than most but I think most times people seem to be almost guessing what they're centipede is. I can't find any pics of a madagascarensis anywhere apart from my own. Also is there a difference to a centipede and a scolopendra ?

A Scolopendra is a genus of centipede and Centipedes are a specie of Myriapods.

Dendrostreptus macracanthus! Gorgeous and so fun to watch.

Wow, Very stunning and beautiful.

Scolopendra Subspinipes, especially the one with jet black body and orange legs coloration.

As far as millipedes would have to be
Xystodesmidae motyxia the bioluminescent millipedes can't get any cooler than that

Ethmostigmus rubripes and Scolopendra hardwickei. S. hardwickei looks simply awesome, and E. rubripes comes in a huge array of different colors, and is not too hard to obtain where I live.

As for millipedes, I have not had much experience with them, but I have kept a kind of blue millipede from the Bunya mountains, which looks cool. I prefer centipedes though, as they are hardier, easier to feed, and generally live longer.

My pede of choice is Ethmostigmus trigonopodus and my millipede of choice hands down is Archispirostreptus gigas

I do not own either milipedes or centipedes, but i have seen them in pictures. I do not know the scientific names for any of them, but i do like the looks of the feather milipede and the only pede that i just remembered the scientific name for (S. Alternans) looks pretty stunning also.

Archispirostreptus gigas by far. Have had other millis, but just the size alone wins me over. I had a rather large female some time ago. She lived quite a while, acquired her in my early teens, and I miss that girl everyday she's gone. I so do wish I could find one again, though thus far, I have been unable.

Chicobolus spinigerus -- see my avatar
I also like Narceus gordanus; while not as beautiful, they have cute emoticon faces.

I think all millipedes have those cute faces. Centipedes meanwhile, have a face that is simply evil!

Albino N. americanus

My current favourite centipede is Alipes sp. I have two little pedelings, both around 1.5 +/- inches. Probably going to get a couple more this weekend, before they all go to the reptile expo in Oregon and sell out.

Scolopendra polymorpha
