Sorry guys. I have had an insane schedule lately. I opened my own small art gallery on Friday, preformed in my wifes' ballet companys Winter show on Saturday and Sunday and got a new job today.:} I feel like my head's gonna fall off.
I swear I'll get some pic's in tonight.
Not to mention every specie of millipede is not on the surface of the substrate all the time so I only get to see who feels like showing up at that time.

Okay Steven I'll get a new pill pic up but here is two pics of one I've never seen anyone with before. It is an orange leg and head version of the Mombossa Red leg, which is also much bigger (more of the thickness of a middle finger in comparsion to the pinky) let's call it a Tanzanian orange leg.:D

Yea.. and when piggies fly. No really I hope my pillbugs do breed someday but I just don't know what else to do for them. But you are welcome for the pic.
As far as a scientific name for crested millipedes goes I wouldn't have a clue. They are the smallest adult millipede I keep, they are as thin as 3 to 4 mm and only3 inches long or so. I only have two and I have seen them mate. The female has been missing for some time I hope she's watching over eggs!
