Millipedes are nasty and gross.

Hehe! Those GIANT millipedes from Africa are actually kind of cool! And they have these neat little symbiotic mites that live on them and clean their exoskeleton bands. The mites won't get on you though, 'cause they don't like people...

I've seen one of them, well I think it was a giant millipede from South America, IIRC. My buddy was hauling pets for his friends at the pet store he worked at. I remember he came over the house, opened the back of his pickup and showed me a giant millipede. He also had two Egyptian "sand cobras/vipers," VERY venomous, they were kind of looking at me funny, and some tarantulas. He did lose one, a tarantula, in the truck and it was wandering around there for two or three weeks until he found him. One of his friends had a total of 25 snakes, including 10 cobras, one was even an albino, but he got rid of them when one of them bit his girlfriend on the butt and she ended up in the University of Pittsburgh's ICU unit for a week and they had to get anti-venin flown in.
