It's actually a millipede: n
It's actually a millipede: notice the two pairs of legs per body segment (centipedes only have one pair per segment) -- that is one of the key differences between class Diplopoda ("double feet", which is that of millipedes) and Chilopoda ("lip feet", which is that of centipedes). The shape of the head and antennae further verifies that you have a millipede as opposed to a centipede.
