Nice. Is it freshly molted, or just always that pale?

@Nightstalker47 always pale. I have actually named it "Pale Wyrm" from Hollow Knight for that reason. I only ever catch fleeting glimpses of it and every time I see it, it's always that creamy white colour

Looks more like Cormocephalus aurantiipes

@Staehilomyces I thought C.Aurantiipes was more black and olive coloured? Not to sure though, it came from a breeder who I also bought S.Morsitans from

@RezonantVoid was this a guy named Alex on gumtree? The one he advertised as S. laeta was a C. aurantiipes

Sure was him mate. This was the wild one I found at Armidale, it was a bit darker and so I never suspected they were the same. I guess that means it won't be growing much bigger

@RezonantVoid yeah I saw that advertisement. Could tell it’s not a laeta instantly as the cormos in my area are identical. also a red flag when he said they get to 15 cm even though aurantiipes get to about 10 cm and laeta about 6 or 7 cm

@Dennis Nedry as usual, thx for correcting me not too well versed in our pedes, I should probably look into them more
