There is a centipede that lives in southern California, Mojave desert- specifically the High Desert (I live in Victorville, CA), which I cannot identify after substantial searching of the interweb. I have not caught one yet, so I cannot provide a picture; however I can provide a somewhat detailed description: orange head, mostly grey back with some blue, light orange/almost yellow legs, and the antennae-like things on its posterior end are the same color as, or slightly more blue than the rest of its back. After searching, the closest thing I could find to the centipede I have described, was a picture of a Scolopendra heros castaneiceps, but some differences which include the darkness of its back, darker orange head, and more yellow leg color, cause doubt that it is the same centipede. If anyone could help in identifying this centipede that I have described, and possibly provide some care information (as I intend to capture one and keep it as a pet), it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all in advance.
