I know this is probably a silly question, but are there any purple millipedes other than purple ivory millipedes? I like making terrariums with lots of purple plants, and I want to see if there are any millipedes that can sort of fit in.
Thank you in advance!

There are some Thyropygus species from SE Asia that have a purplish tinge, but not massively purple IMO.

These are available in the UK for example ..... https://www.thespidershop.co.uk/product/thyropygus-sp/

Also there is Pararhachistes potosinus , but good luck in finding any !

The purple ivories are about as purple as it gets with millipedes generally available on the market.

Thank you! I would be happy to get some purple ivories but I can’t find any in the UK
