I know I would kick in a few $$ to see caco get bit by that gigantea. Someone would need to get it on video, because I can't make it. Hell, I'll add in another $10 if he lets it hang on his scrotum by it's fangs.

I see here a lot of talks but no tries, and that's good because one's bitten by a big tropical centipede (doesn't have to be a gigantea) you will wish it never happened !!!!
I know from a missionary in Guatemala who was bitten in his sleep by a huge centipede and he describes the pain as at the edge of humanly bearable and lasts for at least 2 weeks.
You most likely won't die from it but I guarantee anybody ho has the "hobby" of being bitten by venominous creatures... you'll stop that hobby after a gigantea bite.

So is the venom from a gigantea more potent then that of the subspinipes? I always thought that the subspinipes were the more potent? Though I wouldn't be interested in a bite from either of them.

well now i have also heard that said of the sting of a C. vitattus and the bite of a s. heros castaniceps but the last time i was stung by the c. vitattus it just iched a bit and when Galapoheros was biten by the SHC last weekend it didnt seem to hurt him too bad. but .. A description of pain from a human is really not a good thing to base it on as some are more tolerant of pain than others . and some are more apt to have a more painfull reaction to the envenomation than others . keep in mind that humans are not the intended victim of the venom of a pede

besides i want to see cacoseraph get bitten by the gigantea ..just not on the scrotum, i dont ever want to see that lol may warp my little physche

my boss keeps telling me that S. heros castaniceps venom is fatal and I laugh a little inside {D

How can C. vittatus just itch for you?! I was in pain for eight hours.

Really? Sorry Tod , your dead lol
when is your funeral lol
i dont know, thats all they ever have done to me. I also was stung several hundred times by yellow jackets as a 12 year old kid. and after that no wasp or bee hurt me. I dont know about the African bees , never heard of them back then but ... Maybe that has somethign to do with it .. latly tho i have noticed that the wasps and bees are hurting some again so im not going to test the scorps sting again intentionally lol

{D Yeah I was stung by so many bees and wasps as a child. I kept touching things. Now, yellow jackets just itch for a few minutes.
