Well I had a big shelf of them in my room back when I had tons of them, NO ONE would ever go in my room! I just couldn't throw away or bury the ones that died so in the freezer they went (the millipede still stinks if you open the tub its in)! I think that some of them have been in there long enough that if I were to remove the contents of their abdomens they would be fine for display, but I'm a lazy girl.
