Yesterday I was cleaning the Puerto Rican millipedes and decided to take some pics to share with you guys. I collected these my self last year, and I am surprise at how well they are doing.

First are the orange spotted (Anadenobolus arboreus leucosomus)

Next the striped (Anadenobolus arboreus josueotonieli) These guys live in the south part of the island (which is more arid and dry) both of these spp. are arboreal and the orange spotted can be seen up to 20ft or more up in a tree.

The pics where taken with my camera phone... so sorry for that.
Hope you guys enjoy.

That last shot's pretty neat. Ya got the whole fam damily in there :D. You say you collected these yourself? How'd you get em through coustoms? Legally, or did ya stuff em in your pockets? :D

It is legal to collect outside parks, and when you send them back to U.S. I use fedex and that's it. As long as they are not an endanger spp or they where collected on a park they are ok with it.

Pretty cool critters bro! We would find a lot of centipedes in Hawaii... HUGE jokers with a nasty bite! :eek:

Very cool pics Erick. Like the lil babies in there too.

Very cool!! Love the fact that they are breeding and doing so well, I may be hitting ya up on some of those babies! Love millipedes in the bottom of the planted tanks with the cresteds and frogs, they keep things broken down and "recycling".

Cool...don't see enough pics of these.

Wow, I had no flippin clue that millipedes were arboreal! Very cool!!!
