I have found 3 adult millis of this species and I am keeping one. IMO they are one of the most beautiful millipedes in NA, other than the awesome flat ones.
Both of these were ~4", found in Laguna Canyon. I will take pictures of the one I kept from another location that is less sensitive than the canyon area sometime later...
yeah, i am always impressed with this species when i see it. seem pretty wide spread, too. can pull dozens out of the wastelands.
somewhere i got a list of the three biggest known species to CA _________________

There may be people who like centipedes. I have seen people handling tarantulas and scorpions, but never a centipede handler. I would regard such a person with deep suspicion...Now what sort of man or woman or monster would stroke a centipede on its underbelly "And here is my big good centipede." If such a man exists, I say kill him without more ado. He is a traitor to the human race.
i caught two BIIG ones of these guys! one has to be 4"! _________________

OOOOOOH! That's must be big. I love these guys too. Would love to have one someday. They're so cute. They're safe to handle right? I want to make sure before hand.

doesn't hurt you afaik... but it looks pretty crazy and can last days _________________

Yeah -- someone at the BBQ had what looked like chemical burns on his hands from them...

It wasnt me at the BBQ but I have gotten chemical burns from these guys. They actually have a mild stinging sensation! _________________ - Kevin aka What
