these are my millipedes I think they are Tylobolus castaneus but i could be wrong. if you have more knowledge or know the species please let me know.

They look to be Tylobolus to me. If they were found in the Fresno area they will most likely be castaneus or monachus. Hiltonius can be found in California and can have similar coloring, but tend to be shorter and fatter.

I do have a shorter fatter one so that could be why its not as long as the others

Relatively hardy as millipedes go. Hardwood substrate with rotten hardwood leaves, and slightly cooler temps, around upper 60s to lower 70s. Feed sliced cucumbers, apples, lettuce, and some dog food pieces 1-2 times a week.

They like their protein. I use apple dog treats and fish food as well.
