The only Caramel one I've found is the Mozambique Caramel Millipede. It was given the common name as it's probably difficult to identify, like so many others. So best go with the Mozambique Caramel, unless someone can I'd it accurately.I got this millipede and on the box it was advertised as a caramel millipede but i can’t find it on line and i was wondering if anyone could tell me if it is in fact a caramel millipede or something else.

hi thank you for your reply and no i have no extra info unfortunatelyWhile I have seen specimens like this, I haven't been able to identify them. Do you have any information on the origin of this specimen?
It is quite lovely I will say in terms of coloration.
Thanks,

do you have any idea what species mine could be?@dmayThe pics look to be of two different species.
Hi, if you look at the 2 photos, the top one is taken using a flash with a light coloured background, the other taken in natural light, with a darker background, making one seem a lot darker than the other - just a thought.The first picture looks like a Pelmatojulus, which is certainly not what you have.
With nothing more than "Caramel Millipede", there really isn't much farther you can go. I reckon it's probably a member of the Spirostreptidae, but I don't know enough about the specific characteristics of each family to ascertain this.
The more commonly seen "Mozambique Caramels" also don't look quite the same; see here.
Thanks,

Forgot to reply to this, ha ha.Hi, if you look at the 2 photos, the top one is taken using a flash with a light coloured background, the other taken in natural light, with a darker background, making one seem a lot darker than the other - just a thought.
Definitely not O. ornatus, and I don't think Orthoporus possess tail spikes.your Mystery Milli seems narrower than the Mozambique Caramel Millipede imo
It kinda looks like an rnatus to me, but maybe the telson too pointy?
And I'm not expert.
