Correct both can be poisonous. The main difference is millipedes don't bite. I would probably feed it to my fish just because in the wild it would be food.

Chuck it out in the yard...Poisonous or not it does not look to be worth bothering with...

Last time I check some millipedes are poisonous, and centipedes are venomous. Poison is ingested and venom is injected. So don't feed if your aren't sure about the species.

No i mean not both, but millies are. You should not feed it bro, i saw monkeys just give a little bite on millipedes but they don't eat then they are sleepy, tears and so many things for some hours. but they got protection frm mosquitos for days, that's why they do. And also cats doing it.

Yup, if venom doesn't enter to blood streams it can't do it's job. But poison is different. You all know that cobra venom is deadly, but if we do not have any cuts on our mouth we can drink venom. That's why asians feed centipedes to aros.
 
Anyway i set him free..
But thanks for the info about centipedes and millies..
