[Quetzalcoatl Nyarlathotep]

Hello friends, these two arrived today...

 

[eraAllen]

Scolopendra cataracta "Laos giant"

 

[Teds ts and Inverts]

7”-7.25” Suspect Male Scolopendra galapagoensis (Darwin’s Goliath Centipede):

 

[Teds ts and Inverts]

“Shh.... He’s sleeping!”

7”-7.25” Suspect Male Scolopendra galapagoensis (Darwin’s Goliath Centipede):


Started socialization with this pede yesterday, and he’s already begun to calm down....

 

[Conor10]

S. Polymorpha “Aqua blue”

 

[Conor10]

S polymorpha Animas Valley,NM Known as a “Rusty Morph”

That looks a lot more like A giganta, someone correct me if I’m wrong

Definitely not S. gigantea. Distribution is way off.

Wonder if “Thai Cherry” is same as “Red Dragon”?

 

[Venom100]

0.0.1 Scolopendra Dehaani “Sumatran Cherry”

 

[Teds ts and Inverts]

Anyone getting tired of seeing photos of my 1.0 S. galapagoensis? No? Good, neither am I.

7”-7.25” Suspect Male Scolopendra galapagoensis (Darwin’s Goliath Centipede):

 

[Teds ts and Inverts]

Also got this S. dehaani from my LPS, and as luck would have it, it’s a Female. If my Male recovers from his bad molt, I’m going to try and breed them!

6.25”-7” Female Scolopendra dehaani (Vietnamese Giant Centipede):




I also purchased a 1.1 pair of S. dehaani “Sumatran Cherry” from @Comatose (I highly recommend that anyone check him out, he’s got a lot of great species for sale) as a part of my Christmas haul. Once I get some nice photos of them I’ll post them here too. In the meantime, here are some of the photos he sent me....

This sums up perfectly how easy it is to take a picture of a pedeling.

After one or two molts they should be large enough to easily sex them, if you know what to look for that is

Got some pics of my Scolopendra "viridicornis" today.

Can anyone please tell me the proper name given to these threads/nerves/veins that they have in their heads? They fascinate me but not being able to type what they actually are does my head in. Cheers.

 

[Conor10]

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but is that a mite in the ring furrow?

Aye. Noticed a few on her. Ordered some predatory mites. They'll soon get rid.

I plan on doing just that next time I grab some pics. Going to take my diffuser off and try and get right in.
