hi,i have 3 captive bred baby centipedes a friend gave me about a month ago. they are around 1 inch in length. he caught the parents in the Philippines,and although one looks like a S. polymorpha,he believes it is just one of the subspinipes subspecies.

i just want to ask how long does S. subspinipes reach its adult size?i read they average around 6-8 inches. but i have no idea how long it would take them.

and for those who live in the USA,where do you buy your centipedes?any online sellers that have a good reputation and selection of centipedes?because when i return to the US for good i would want to continue my hobby there. since i can't bring my Ts and pedes from the Philippines to the USA,too much paperwork and i believe it is quite expensive.

thanks,any help is appreciated:D
