S. galapagoensis?

[Kevin_Davies]

Is this a Scolopendra galapagoensis?

it isnt my centipede, so I only have this picture.

It would help if we could have pics of the last segments and terminals too... It does look like one to me...

If I get this centipede i'll get pictures of the last segments and terminals.

Without seeing the last tergite and segments we can't really tell for sure.
S galapagoensis and viridicornis look very alike.

You think they look alike?

In my opinion it is a Scolopendra galapagoensis. Nice Centipede!

Hi

Is there a ring furrow?
If not than it also could be S.spec.China!

I'd try and get photos of the head and tail segments before buying, S. viridicornis are usually a bit more expensive than S. subspinipes "Chinese stripe leg".

Cheers,

I did a search on this forum and found this thread

http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=49605&highlight=galapagoensis

the picture I posted is in there, the posts suggest that it is a galapagoensis.

 

[Androctonus_bic]

Yes it is a galapagoensis, but...Is this also a galapagoensis?

Why this colourform? Flash? or it is a normal color variation?

Yes, it is also Scolopendra galapagoensis. It only looks "newer" in coloration.

If you're buying it online, I'd be very aware of the seller's reputation.

The exact same picture was in the thread that was mentioned earlier.

<Edit> You were the one who mentioned the thread...I understand now.

I'd still be aware of the seller's reputation, though.

I was thinking that as well, if I do get this centipede, and some other centipedes from the seller (gigantea, robusta and alternans "barbados") they're collection only from S.Wales, so I can check them over before buying them.

Hi

The difference between galapagoensis and viridicornis was shown in a very good threat by Steven a few weeks ago! Search for that!
When you buy the pede, check if it has a ring furrow! There are many S.spec.China Tiger pedes sold as galapagoensis or viridicornis at the moment!

and alternans "barbados"

Can ya point out to some of those ads ?
i personally never seen Sc.viridicornis for sale anywhere :?
and i need more viridicornis for future breeding attemps

 

[Kevin_Davies]

I have, I was sent this picture.

 

[Tarantula]

That dont look like a galapagoensis to me...

Btw does anyone know where I can get true galapagoensis in Europe?

The picture I was given has been used on this forum before, the following posts in a thread with the same picture I posted lead me to believe that it is galapagoensis.

since the pede of warry is most likely from the same import as mine.
i'm quite sure it's Scolopendra galapagoensis

He Steven,



it is from the same import as yours .
Greetings,

@Kevin_Davies
that alternans looks more like the subspinipes that was sold last year as spec. barbados,... aprox at the same time Sc.galapagoensis were introduced in the European hobby (often sold back then as "Black robusta" )

Thanks, I have a barbados subspinipes already, a small one around 7cm, I bought that as Scolopendra angulata.

There are many dealers that sell China tiger pedes as galapagoensis or viridicornis!
There was a threat named "DEALERS" with many Email adresses. Random 10 of those and write them what they have and they will tell you that they have galapagoensis or viridicornis and when you ask for pics of them you 100% get a picture of a China tiger pede!
