Giant Millipedes

Thursday December 27, 2007
Giant millipedes hold an odd sort of fascination with me - I am drawn to them at the pet store but know I could never bring one home. Not much makes me squeamish but I find millipedes a bit too much - I think is is their size and all those legs. Anyway, despite my unjustified fears, millipedes are really quite striking to look at and make good pets for those who don't share my phobia.

I thought it was a nice picture you took. You can really see the animal.

I just purchased a giant millipede and it is so cool. They are not at all creepy.it is fun to watch. As soon as we got him home he started to eat some banana. my children and I are excited to have him. I have seen then in pet stores before, but the sold it quickly and this is the first time I have seen another in several years!
