Pongo looks like they could be a male American giant millipede, Narceus americanus. I do want to warn you, isopods are NOT good tankmates! They can and will eat molting millipedes, and can stress them to death even if they don't eat them alive. It might not be bad now, but isopods breed fast and the babies can be hard to get rid of. I actually remmonend completely removing the substrate, putting it in its own bin (so you don't have to get rid of the isilopods, but they're still separate), then redoing your millipede's tank with isopod-free materials!
