Hi. I don't know what kind of millipede this is. So far looking through pics online it reminds me most of the Apheloria virginiensis millipedes, but the color is different. I took a picture of it in my yard. Thank you for your help, and I have more pics if you need them, here's a link to a video of it https://flic.kr/p/rEAfWh

Pachydesmus, tribe Pachydesmi
Pachydesmus, tribe Pachydesmini, is correct. Apheloria is in the tribe Apheloriini.
