Yeah, the thai cherry has nice colors for sure, and the SA giants are definitely my favorite. Wish I had a better picture of the thai cherry lol. Heros and mint legs look great too, though. Hoping to actually get some heros plings soon.Dang! Those are some pretty nice pedes. I'm jealous of your south american centipedes and that thai cherry is beautiful.
That final one with the blue legs is gorgeous I notice a couple of different Scolopendra dehaanis sold with different localities. Are they the same? What are the differences between the different Scolopendra dehaanis in husbundary, size, lifespan, growth rate and behaviour? Or are they more or less the same?Scolopendra subspinipes
Scolopendra heros
Scolopendra sp. mintleg
Scolopendra dehaani
Otostigmus scaber
I would love to see anyone elses centipede photos.

Yes, what you mentioned can certainly vary between localities.That final one with the blue legs is gorgeous I notice a couple of different Scolopendra dehaanis sold with different localities.

Up to 12” that be tied or close to max size ? Wow … no pedes for me until I can afford to move out probably . Unless I can sneak a small one in.Yes, what you mentioned can certainly vary between localities.
The only difference in care throughout the locales from what I know is going to be temperature; some are found in higher or lower elevation, so their preferred temps are going to vary.
Size can also vary between locales. Anywhere from 6-8" to 10," supposedly even 12."
As far as I know, lifespan and growth rate are either the same between them or very similar. Although the larger locales probably grow faster I'd imagine, considering they have a bigger max size, but I'm not 100% certain on that though.
Behavior can be quite different between individuals themselves. I'm not sure if one locale is generally more defensive or chill than another. Seems to be more of an individual thing to me.
Yeah, it's possible, but generally the smaller locales are going to be staying between 6-8. But it is possible for the smaller ones to hit 12 inches; it's just not likely. The only way that would happen is heavy power-feeding from a pling with high temps. The locale that would probably hit 10-12" more commonly would be "Mt Merapi."Up to 12” that be tied or close to max size ? Wow … no pedes for me until I can afford to move out probably . Unless I can sneak a small one in.
Maybe I’ll have to get all the localitiesNow you have to get one and post photos
Is that cocopeat? It can cause impaction and can kill centipedesEthmostigmus sp. "gold" (Philippines), 6" young adult - with/without flashlight

You got some really beautiful stuff. I used to have a hainanum, I miss that centipede a lot. They are beautiful and I feel like they have very unique behavior. The jewel and white beard are crazy.Just a few of the species I keep!
