Now I'm going to turn this into an ID question, lol. I came across another which mine could be, but there seems to be some mixing up of two species. Cylindroiulus punctatus,

Mine was only about 10mm or less long, less than 1mm wide which does fit Blaniulus guttulatus. Not sure about the colour though, the Pied Piper lists it as the most common on cultivated soil although this was in my bathroom!

The link doesn't work for some reason but you can access Pied Piper from the goolge link.

The spots look too high, nearer the top of the body than mine are in the pics on Bioimages.

Maybe hold fire until I can find out for sure!
