I started with Rhysida longipes. They get around 3”-3.5” inches as adults, and don’t have very potent venom, which makes them a great starter species. I actually have some pedelings of this species, so if you’re interested in raising one or two, feel free to shoot me a PM

Look up Scolopendra viridis, it is a small US native species and it is quite colorful.

Take a look at Hemiscolopendra marginata and Scolopocryptops sexspinosis as well.

In that case, yeah, Scolopendra viridis would be... difficult to obtain
