ive found this medium sized flat millipede at my girlfriends house. as i keep a variety of invertabrate pets (Pandinus imperitor, Grammostola pulchripes, Mastigoproctus giganteus, and Archispirostreptus gigas) i decided to keep it. its about 2 inches long, its a dark brown color with orange along its outer edges with orange down the center of its segments with light orange legs. much wider than it is tall. i live in central Georgia and havent had much luck finding what species of millipedes live in this area to compare it to. i beleive it may be a species in the genus Euryurus. ive seen these guys before in this area but they are a bit on the uncommon side. any help would be very appreciaited, thanks
