Azog & Gothmog

Atrocious photo I know, but here is a comparison of my two biggest pedes: Azog, and a recently molted Gothmog. The latter has put on at least a centimetre of length after its molt.
I have to admit Gothmog still looks tiny compared to Azog. His molt colours are very cool though.
 
@LeFanDesBugs this photo was taken two days after the molt; it's still a little pale, but has regained most of its colour. In the immediate aftermath of the molt, it had a grey body with black bands, and cream coloured legs.
@Scolopendra1989 thanks! I'm trying to source more pedes in Azog's size range for future breeding attempts, and I have a collector searching for them right now.
 
@centipeedle E. rubripes are Australian-only species. Australia does not export native species last time I checked so there is no chance of rubripes in the U.S.
 
@LawnShrimp Actually rubripes is also found throughout Asia, from India all the way to Indonesia. Many color morphs occur, each prettier than the other :)
 
@LeFanDesBugs Haha, I thought about including that in the comment but spinosus and other non-Australian rubripes would be very costly and difficult (though technically possible) for anyone in the U.S. to obtain. I do love E. r. spinosus though, it's the closest centipedes get to being purple.
 
Very nice photo! However, I don’t see much changes of colour to your Gothmog though, just slightly paler than usual!! Congratulations on your centipedes moult!!!!
