I have moved your millipede from the reptile category to the arthropod category. :-)

Namitha
Yeah, they are very gentle, and pretty. But there are really a lot of them around here:)
akshaya

Namitha
Yeah , same here, there will be tonnes of them around during rainy season. But, now the more common ones here are small black millipedes with yellow stripes or spots.
akshaya

Namitha
We have exactly the same ones here, they come in all variant colours of this rusty red. Some have this black marks, maybe this is a different species. Sorry, I am not very sure about that.
akshaya
