The pic looks alot like the pedes I was seeing in the trade 6 or so years ago that were said to come from Trinidad or a smaller island nearby. Big, black beasts that dwarfed most of the red Peruvian giants I've seen. The tergites were like an inch and a half wide! I haven't seen them around since and am not sure what the name was. One dealer (who generally knows his stuff) told me that it was the "true" S. gigantea. He also told me that the centipedes on this island were the top predators, which is why they got so big there.

Ahh..."Centipede Island". What a great place for a tropical getaway =D

That is a monster in the pic above but they can still get a site bigger than that!
