Where did you catch the centipede?

Yes, that's just my conjecture.

Phark lol. You're a genius! As I guess, you have the key?

The pictures are terrible. Too bad to identify species.
Give MORE and BETTER pic.

a good starter for the new year :D

i like it's colors, nice catch!!!

but as said above, some more detailed pictures could bring solution to your problem in IDying this pede,....
although i also think it's not far from subspinipes.
(but that's just a feeling ;) morsitans or another specie still is possible too, but the shape of the head and 1st tergite made me guess subspinipes)
