Scolopendra heros castaneiceps bite report

[RTTB]

Seems like a bite from one packs a pretty good punch.

It’s about 15x as bad as a polymorpha bite. Doesn’t touch most Asian pede bites though.

Would you say Coyote Peterson exaggerated a little bit in the video?

Moral of the story is that when one is working with these animals, it is important to not panic. In this case, a test bite became two envenomations because I spooked the animal and panicked. This was a mostly socialized pede as well.

I don't want to sound rude or else but IMO, 'moral of the story' is also: don't handle, for that no matter how much socialized a 'pede can be, they remain unpredictable animals

Yes. Although, we knew this already. The pede which bit him was about 2 inches larger than mine though.

That’s another moral, yes. However, I think the reward outweighs the risk. I do not handle Asian Pedes anymore as those tend to be the most unpredictable and potent.

Now that's discrimination!

Heck, if someone 'handle', then he/she should 'handle' everyone

Thanks. I ended up reporting my post and asked if it could be moved, which it was. I like the actual bite reports subform more than this.

I like the way it looks, but it's a little empty you know. I guess that's probably a good thing but I would still like to see a wealth of knowledge there.
