Scolopendra madagascariensis ???

Is this a Scolopendra madagascariensis or something else?

I'm not sure, but that color is incredible.

Not sure madagascariensis is not a synonym of subspinipes, actually. But this sure looks like subspinipes! Btw this pic has been enhanced, there's no way the legs can be that red
Not saying the specimen isn't pretty though

ok thanks, but if its a subspinipes is it still possible that it comes from Madagascar?

 

[LeFanDesBugs]

I know subspinipes is present in Madagascar, I've seen pictures before

 

[Dutcharachno]

alright thanks.

This is likely a S. subspinipes, similar to the Hawaiian morph (blue-tipped red legs), that has recently molted so its colors are vibrant (it probably has been edited as well.) I don't know if Madagascar has subspinipes, but it definitely has several Cormocephalus sp. as well as S. morsitans. I found a picure of an unidentified Malagasy Scolopendra that was definitely not morsitans, but it was dark brown and had red and green legs, unlike the 'madagascarensis' here. My best guess is that this is Hawaiian S.s.
