I hesitated to post this suggestion because Mr. Frazier JUST mentioned that this is a millipede and not a worm... and one of the common names I have found is "worm millipede!" :-/

Hi senora_x. This is a millipede, not really a worm (or a reptile). Millipedes are one of the groups that belong in the larger category Arthropods. I have moved it there for you. Arthropods contain not only millipedes, but centipedes, insects, spiders, crabs, shrimp, lobsters and many other similar creatures. :-)
