Thiscordia and a skink i caught to look at and then release. Thiscordia has a 2.5-3"/6-8cm millipede in his hand. Millipede could be Hiltonius pulchrus, Tylobolus claremontus, or maybe Atopetholus californicus or maybe even something else. [/QUOTE] |

i think i have an idea of where to find T. claremontus =P
actually, maybe i don't. if it really was a place name it would have an -ensis ending that might actually meansomething like "bright mountain" or "clear mountain" come to thin kof it |

Hello, There are 3 species in So Cali that exceeds the 3" size Hiltonious pulchrus Tylobolus claremontus Or a third species that reaches the 2" mark Athopetholus californicus = A angelus |

I know -- but that's still a 2-3" critter. Very impressive! All I ever see around my yard are tiny 1" ones. -- Celeste |
