Yes, that is an armored millipede.

I have a thread in the "Other Invertebrates" section with the heading: An armored presence.

The specimen which I show is from South America however, I believe these are worldwide in distribution in all the tropical zones.

I was told by another member (livingplanet3) that mine likely belongs to the genus Polydesmus. Not sure what other (genera) armored millipedes have but, there are likely others...

Wonderful picture. Thanks for sharing...
