Primitive Millipede? Flat Armour plated
I found these two wicked flat armour plated millipedes up here last week, i have since released them because they wouldn't eat anything I tried to feed them. I guess a rotting log is what they want but I would rather return them to where I found them. Has anyone kept or seen any millipedes like this in Australia yet?
Sorry if there are to many photos

Agree with Tarantula; the look very much like Polydesmids. I find alot of these in pitfall traps in FNQ rainforest.

I photographed some (FNQ) on my trip back in September. They look awesome. They were everywhere at this one place & it was the only spot that I saw them the whole trip.

Fantastic! i was unsure if we had native polydesmids like this, its very hard to find information on them. Thanks for you help everyone and love the brown/red one you photographed.

Cool, I just saw heaps of the type that Bush showed, one of them was similar colouring to your one Jamanz, was a bit odd to see.
2 Eastern Blue tongue's(1M&F), 1x Elo, 1x Lio (my 2nd wild
caught scorp), 1 x C. tropix, RIP 1x 10cm Female Pseudo-crassipes (1st
