California Centipede Enthusiasts

[cacoseraph]

Greetings All,

I live in southern CA (rialto at the moment) and have recently noticed a number of fellow centiheads from CA

i thought it would be kind of cool to use this thread to "meet" each other... perhaps one day we can all go tiger hunting together

Rialto here

I live in same city where caco lives. I just caught a beautiful tiger today about 6 inches in length.

Caco is right, its a good idea to know locals who are interested in pedes, as Im highly interested, we can all share knowledge together and hopefully one day have pedes that we can breed together, and catch some pedes.

greetings

well, i believe you have moved into a pretty good bug area

let me think

"our" scolopendamorpha (giant) cents
myglamorpha <--- awesome link!!! lists about 50 species, with a county level distribution!
and you should also be able to find a species or two of tarantula, a number of other myglamorph (probably a trapdoor and a few other sort of shiny ones), and i'm guessing at least a dozen scorp species and subspecies

 

[crashergs]

thanks for the warm welcome

Thank you for the warm welcome, no I do not yet have any pedes at the moment. I do have a mantis and some phasmids and lots of phasmid ova incubating ( but that is a LONG process) but I am very interested in all forms of inverts, I used to be a big herps fan breeding lots of lizards, frogs and newts but have relocated here into a much smaller space. Not to mention that it seems like most of the inverts are a lot more interesting to watch, and do not take as much room so I can get away with them easier here. and thenk you for the great links I will be using them a lot, and I will prob have a lot of questions in the time too come also. Once again thanx for the warm welcome...:worship:

 

[crashergs]

arachnoboards has full of really good helpers. At one point I almost stopped searching for centipede forums, I thought I was the only one, then almost like the feeling of opening the golden gates to paradise, i found this place and people with pictures of pedes, i remember I used to see these creepers slithering through my house during summer time.

as welcomming you into the pede world, I will hunt a tiger pede for ya! its about helping others and enjoying it togehter is what i think. ill pm you when I find one so i can ship it to u or something.

by the way the pede will look like the attachment I have posted. I caught this one up the street from me last month, apparently shes hibernating she doesnt come out unless I move the thing shes under.

CHEERS!

 

[insect714]

Thanks Crash

Thanks for that offer Crash, it is true that Arachnoboards does have some of the greatest invert people around, I do no think that I have meet a better bunch of people anywhere. I look forward to getting to know some of you better and learn from the knowledge that you have to offer. I look forward to your PM talk to you all soon.

pomo eh?

i used to live in Phillip's Ranch. speaking of which, i caught tiger centipedes and a crazy scorp at Diamond Ranch, but haven't caught anything for like a year or so there.

 

[Ryan C.]

Yeah been in Pomona for a year now, before that I was in La Verne for ten years untill my stupid air conditioner took a crap and lit my house on fire and this is where I ended up. My little brother is currently going to school in Phillip's Ranch at Decker elementry. I might give hunting here a shot, see if I can find anything.
