Yea, I'd like to see a picture of that. The wild ones I've come across have mostly been around the 3" range. To turn over a rock and see one that big,.. what a rush!

until pandinus can take some pics, here is a BLURRY pic of a ~6.5"BL S. polymorpha... although, when she stetches out sometimes she passes the 7" mark, i think.

I've been wondering ymself actually if there were not two different forms as far as size goes for Scolopendra polymorpha. My reasoning being that I've heard of females at the 4inch mark having eggs. Maybe this species just is able to breed at a very young age?

Centipedes continue to molt after reaching maturity, so there's definately the opprotunity to grow.

That would explain why there is such a range of size in mature S. polymorpha.
