Scolopendra morsitans
Those colors are so bright. At first I almost thought it wasn't real!
There's another tiny pede I got along with this one that is purple and red, looks even more fake than this one is at first. Unfortunately the colours slightly dull as this one grows, but I'll enjoy them while they last
 
I'm not a big Scolopendra fan (I'm a bit afraid to be honest) but this one is so beautiful that I might have to reconsider 😃

This species is one of few Australian ones you can get overseas as they are also found in some Asian countries, meaning it's possible to buy one. However, not all colour forms of S.morsitans are as bright and colourful unfortunately
