Look at my baby boy Thunderbird!!

He's more comfortable crawling around on my hand when I take him out now than even two days ago, such a brave little explorer

- i might just put this under all of the posts about them, but don't pick these guys up, if you don't know how to handle them safely, they're fragile for one, and very poisonous for two -

this is a pink dragon millipede! (desmoxytes purpurosea) they’re so weird lookin they r one of my fave millipede species :)

they are around 3cm long and produce hydrogen cyanide which causes them to smell like almonds
