Not very good picture :)

My guess would be Scolopendra polymorpha? Would be nice to see better pictures ;)

seems like a pretty good guess

does the petstore have any location data for it?

oh, i meant like, it comes from U.S. or Slovenia or Arizona or what not. i can really only do centipede guesses based on location data (and can only do U.S. pedes cuz of Rowland Shelley) rather than morphology. i leave that for the big boys :)

i just noticed you said your wife got it for you! that is awesome!
