Heheh, yep, 'cause I hadn't scrolled down all the way.

My boyfriend and I were up in Victoria last weekend and stopped in, though we didn't get to hold anything.

you didn't let anyone know, or anything, hmmm ?

Cos I was here and you could have met me.

nome says "you're a bum" ;-) but you know what he's like.

Where, exactly are those things native to? I've never seen one so big... That, or those are very small hands.......

I can't quite remember - was it Borneo? somewhere like that. the hands in that photo belong to the tour guide, who was a fully grown adult male. His hands were a little larger than mine, and I tend to take a medium size in men's gloves.

it was *quite* a large millipede - about an inch thick and 10 - 12 inches or so long.

Yeah, I suspected it was somewhere around there. That's a damn big millipede...

You can find 'em in Africa, at least the equatorial band 3fgburner May 15 2006, 15:17:10 UTC

In Kenya, they're referred to as "Mombasa trains".

I have a few more, but plaintive requests for me not to journal them have been heeded (for the moment).

Keep an eye on my Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/azhreia) for more.
