Actually, now that I look at him, a little over 2 inches is a better estimate, including the rear-most legs and antennae, lol sorry... I am sure he is not an adult- he is very very thin, about 1 cm, and adult scolopendra polymorpha I have seen in pics on here look pretty big, a LOT bigger than...

Judging from the pictures I have seen on this website, to me it looks like a mai chau. Check out the thread PICTURES: Genus Scolopendra, there's a few on there.

I caught one! He was underneath a rock in an area that gets shade all day. He is about 3 inches long, and really thin. Cacoseraph, I read your care sheet, but would you mind giving me some more specific information about how to keep them? What substrate have you found is the most successful...

Sorry about the picture thing, I just used the feature that is on the menu above where you write your post.... And for some reason the edit function isn't showing up now, so I can't fix it. So you dont think I'll be able to find anything this time of year? I still have some hope, because my...

Thanks guys, that's what it is. Polymorpha. Just I guess the ones out here have more blue to them. The other day I was in my backyard (which is all bare desert terrain) turning over rocks looking for one, but found only 4 large black, very short-haired spiders that burrow underneath rocks, and...

There is a centipede that lives in southern California, Mojave desert- specifically the High Desert (I live in Victorville, CA), which I cannot identify after substantial searching of the interweb. I have not caught one yet, so I cannot provide a picture; however I can provide a somewhat...

Anyone have an idea about the sex??

Another question- are mealworms an adequate food for the baby 1" M. Giganteus? The pet store was out of feeder crickets and I thought I might give it a try.

For more info on solpugids this is a great website- http://www.solpugid.com/Introduction.htm It's where Alex got his info, and it has tons of other stuff too. The site is not completely finished, but it seems that it is being worked on and steadily updated. Enjoy!

Hi, I am just now getting into keeping uropygi, and it would be immensely appreciated if you took a look at my post (link below), which has a bunch of questions about keeping one. From reading your posts, I can see that you really know your stuff and it would be great if you could help me out in...

I recently purchased an unsexed 1" baby M. Giganteus (pic below) and am waiting for it to arrive on Wednesday. This is really my first arachnid I've kept, apart from a few solpugids I have caught- so I am a complete newbie and any help from some more experienced collectors would be greatly...

I'm pretty sure it depends on where you live. Where I live in southern California, at this time of year they come out into the open of my house at night. I have already caught two on the carpet of my living room! Also 5 inches is probably much too high an expectation. A wild caught 3 incher...
