yeah, i agreed with you there. i am willing to drop some money on three pedes, but i don't want my unsexed pedes to turn out all males.I absolutely would but I can't get myself to spend the $, and even if I bought 3 I might end up with 3 males I think people should cooperate with each other. For people wanting to breed, I think a plan to contact each other before each one purchases would be a good idea with the intent to work out a breeding plan in case the other needs help with needing the opp sex pede.
Reservation. According to his site, not due in until August/September etc. I tried that once, and for a number of reasons it didn't work out. Personally, given the unpredictability of the import business, (there are *no* guarantees) I wouldn't "reserve" anything again.Does he actually have them in his possession? Or is he just taking money right now?
I really dig this idea, but for all the 'pedes in the hobby. When more folks start sexing theirs, it would be great to compare inventories and get some beasties matched up. I have 75% of mine sexed and would really like to work with others instead of trying to buy multiples of each species, hoping against hope that I get a pair.I absolutely would but I can't get myself to spend the $, and even if I bought 3 I might end up with 3 males I think people should cooperate with each other.

Look at my list and see if there is anything that you like to do breeding loans on EXCEPT for the vietnamese centipedes. they are not worth shipping since their current value is almost equivalent to shipping and then there is the risk too.I really dig this idea, but for all the 'pedes in the hobby.

^Looks like you and I have the same problem...too many females.
If your male is of size and you ever want to have a go at the Vietnamese, you're welcome to give it a shot. I have 2 ladies.
Also have 2 E. trigonopodus & 2 S. alternans "Haiti" that are unsexed adults...will have to get on that.
Good luck with pairing. One each on the trigonopodus. Oh well...I paired my vietnamese up today. the female picked up the spermatophore with her sex organ and then i later saw her chewing on it? so i'll have to pair them again.
are your E. trigonopodus blue rings? or yellow legs? all 5 of mine are only at 1.5" and the S. alternans are only 2"
I didn't reserve any, (this time around, but did some, I don't know, 2 years ago?), but it's still the same story. They are not in the country, and money has already changed hands. I am hopeful for everyone who has deposited money on them, but as *many* people (including myself) have alluded to, them not arriving for whatever reason would simply be the continuation of a long line of "I will get this for you, in the meantime give me your money." Then, months later, "Oh I could not get it, store credit."Just wondering, did these pre-ordered gigantea ever materalise or is it the same old story of people pre-ordering and getting nothing from that guy again?
