Well eventualy we got let down with the beardies. 
Not best pleased to say the least.
But anyway went to the petshop today and saw these two cuties £10 the pair...Burmese Millipedes Genghis and Vlad.
If anybody has any helpful advice or tips I would be grateful.
Cheers.

They are easy to care for,although it does vary with different species. I was misled with the advice I got though so looked it all up.
I have mine in a large faun (you ideally want it at least 3 times their length) with eco-earth,bark and leaves I collected to about 3 inches deep. He's branches to climb on and he does use them a lot and I've put sphagnum moss in too. I spray his enclosure regularly to keep the substrate moist and he drinks the droplets off the sides. He seems to prefer cucumber over anything but eats any other soft veg. I sprinkle calcium dust into his enclusure every now and then,he won't touch cuttlefish. From all accounts they like to be able to move about under the substrate but mine never has.
I also popped some woodlice in with him as they help clean up and get rid of any mould etc. Have to remove a load every now and again as they breed like rabbits lol.
Yes i have a giant hand.lol
We got them as a pair but as far as i can tell ther both girls.
Too small to tell at the moment tho.
