Yes, I found that out. Got bitten by one! They are also much
faster than millipedes.

Any idea what those really huge ones eat? I had always though
the millipedes seen in horror movies, ect were fake. However,
while hiking last year, someone spotted what they belived to be a
snake. It turned out to be a millipede about a foot long and
an inch thick! Wow, that would make for a good pet but I wonder
if it would want to eat my plants?
