This kind of loss of pigmentation shouldn't be a problem — it happens quite a bit in asian pedes and there's nothing you can do about it :)

Ethmostigmus trigonopodus

Ethmostigmus trigonopodus, from Nigeria or somewhere close.

Yeah, used to be called a "harvest moon" phase. It's basically a generally local (here, general) loss of pigmentation. This might very well be a Vietnamese specimen. Nice dehaani, congrats.

Yeah this looks like it came out of Mozambique or South Africa. Not Tanzanian for sure, and the Kenyans are basically absent from the hobby these days ! That's a nice pede that you got there, take good care of it !

Hi — All 3 types are different, and really distinct. Red giants will get bigger than Haitians and Haitians should get slightly larger than "longipes". The genetics behind that must be fascinating.

There are multiple species of Alipes that are superficially similar to grandidieri. It is not possible to ID this pede without some very detailed pics.

"not multicostis" is the best answer anyone can give sadly..

Looks about right :)

The terminals and locality are telling me this is probably a premolt mutlidens..

Let me clear a few things up to avoid any confusion : -this is indeed S. dehaani and not S. subspinipes dehaani. These animals have been elevated to species status quite some time ago. -their locality is Malaysia, as the name implies, not "dehaani", haha. There's no such thing as a dehaani...

Absolutely!

That or it’s about to lay eggs. Laying season has started and the pede doesn’t look discolored yet.

Hey. Can’t help much as I’m at uni while I’m writing this. Please add me on messenger : Leo Laborieux I’d be glad to help you, I have done some breeding with similar species before and know about their life cycles.. I’m not coming here often. However if you wish to stay here on AB I’m sure...

Sounds very good! Drop water a little at a time as you’ve done already - I found it to be the way to go!

Closer to two! And yes, do moisten the substrate whatever it takes, humidity needs to be kept at the same level as what you’d expect usually: moist substrate, and not damp.. I use critter keepers that allow me to pour in water without even opening the enclosure, which is a plus..

I missed the raised part - sounds like you could have a bit of a problem on your hands. But as long as it eats... :)

If it’s only a black dorsal line as you first described in the original post, that’s perfectly normal. At least not abnormal. Still, a pic would be needed to confirm anything. As you wish. Perhaps it’s wiser to wait for a few days and see.

Damn. Do keep in mind that brooding is seasonal. You could very well be a parent for the second time !
