I couldn’t agree with this post more. The sad state of the Tarantula hobby. How quickly people forget how they were when they were new. Everyone should make it a point to call these people out and shun them when they act like that, as well as be encouraging to new keepers who are obviously...
I highly recommend Ethmostigmus trigonopodus for a first time pede. They are of small to medium size, have great color, are stocky, but in my experience are more predictable than S. polymorpha(which would be my second recommendation, and you still can’t go wrong with).
It’s been brought to my attention that there has been a revision of Scolopendra heros. I have heard conflicting info, with no citing of the revision. Does anyone have a link to the revision? I looked on Research Gate to no avail. Thanks!

What was your process for pairing them? I have a trio of yellow legs that are very different looking than yours, also imported as S. mirabilis.
Congrats on the successful breeding!
