I got this milli from a local pet store, and they told me with uncertainty that it was an ivory millipede. However, she doesn't look like the ivories I've seen online, and she's very inactive. Can anybody tell me what species she is if she's not an ivory?

I agree with Narceus gordanus or the Smoaky oak millipede. I want a few so badly.

Definitely Narceus gordanus "yellow form." Colors can change dramatically depending on location within peninsular Florida, from yellow, to a paler ivory, to a beautiful olive green\gray. All the same species. They are the thickest millipede in the continental US, and can grow to about 4 inches. It's not surprising that your specimen is a lot less active than ivories, as this species is well known for spending the vast majority of its time underground.
