S. heros castaneiceps attempting to mate with arizonensis. I'm pretty sure they can interbreed but can they mate in such a late season? I took this pic this morning.

I know that more than one centipede together can sometimes kill each other. How do they mate without that happening?

Update on the Scolopendra sp. “White Legs” pling. Not so much of a pling anymore, reaching about 6.5-7 inches TBL. Also, I found out she’s a confirmed female! This was taken a few days after her last molt. 07307FF8-826C-4711-96DD-480D82C3A51A.jpeg

I never dared to put live plants of any kind in a galapos enclosure, assuming that the pede is doing well, I would imagine whatever lighting you use for the plants would really stress that thing out. Not saying your doing anything wrong just curious.
no, this is not the enclosure i keep my galap in. this is just a plant enclosure that i use for pictures
