Alright I’ll do that as soon as I get back from school! It was a pain getting that giant thing to stay still and get a underside pic

Take your Millipede out carefully and place in a cricket box or clear glass container and photo from underneath.

Damn thing isn’t uncurling lol, usually it never curls or when it does it quickly uncurls and adventures out :/

Female rather don't you think? If it was a male the missing legs would be seen around the 6th-7th segment, while there only seems to a gap on this specimen at the 2nd or 3rd segments.

Thanks,
