can any one post some pics

[8 leg wonder]

just wondering if anyone could post some pics of centipedes sold as "Blue leg centipedes" as I have just ordered one from the pet store. All we know is that it is a Scolopendra sp. nothing more. I am anxiously waiting to see what it looks like. I post pics as soon as it arrives

 

[J Morningstar]

There is an awsome pic on Petbugs.com Website under care instructions.

 

[Steven]

there are several spec. sold as "blue-legged" ones
- brown body with blue head and blue-legs
- black body with blue-legs
- blackbody with orange antenna's and blue-legs
etc....

ow yeah and of course all the smaller spec. (neon-blue etc.)

anyway,..if it has blue-legs,... it's :} :} :}

 

[Ythier]

...here's one of the "smaller spec." ...its name is "Scolopendromorpha spppp from (of course) Tanzania"
Greetings,

Flashy centipede :}

nice one Eric !


did you got that one from lafermetropicale ?
i've seen that they sell them as trachycormocephalus mirabilis :?

 

[Ythier]

Yes, exactly (la ferme tropicale-> the tropical farm )
They had in the past T.mirabilis from Tanzania and South Africa but it's not the same species as on the picture.
Here's a T.mirabilis from RSA (quite big, about 10cm).
Greetings,
Eric

[Steven]

I know a guy who goes out on field-collecting every year in South-Africa,...
he comes across alot of trachycormocephalus spec.

i'll have to ask him if he can post some centipedes-pix of those in the "Wild"

 

[Ythier]

yes it would be great, pics in the wild are always very interesting and instructive

[Ythier]

They're offered sometimes in France, especially in winter.

Take care.

This kind of centipede is very rare to find...
I only know one guy from the states and one from germany
who are keeping this centipede...
And I`m in the good situation to have two of these,
the dealer said it`s a pair.
So I`m still hoping for some little pedelings....
We will see....

But I hope you can get this one...he`s a beauty and never so aggressive like other skolos...

Tell me what yours is...when you get it.

(Sorry ,my bad english, I hope everybody understands it *g*)

Hi Dan,

your english is fine! It's as good as many so called english speakers who post on arachnoboards

The blue leg is a beautiful pede, more pictures would be great Have you got a morsitans to compare it with? Do you think they might be the same species?

Cheers,

Hi Atrax,

Do you still have that pede? If you do, hows it doing, is it approaching adult size yet? (photos would be good hint hint ). I saw one recently on TV on animal planet, they had a bloke looking for scorps in africa, and he turned over a rock to find a flat rock scorp eating what looked like a 7" plus blue leg!

Cheers,
