Hey guys, i'm actually placing an importation order in Indonesia and on the price-lists there are a few kinds of centipedes with no latin names... I've never heard of either four of those species, could someone help me find their latin name and info, please?

Java Orange Head Centipede
Sumatra Orange Centipede
Sumatra Giant Centipede
Sulawesi Red Legged Centipede

Does anyone know what they could be? They're all IDed as Scolopendra Ssp... which doesnt really help me, hehe...

my guess would be that all are Sc.subspinipes :razz:

I have Java Sc.subspinipes subspinipes,... which are slightly lighter in color then other subsp. colorforms,... indeed a bit more orange.
orange head could indicate Sc.subsp.mutilans,...
the giants can be Sc.subspinipes dehaani,...
