Yeah I think thats the guy he told me about he was from Kansas and he chopped down trees for a living because he saw me looking at his arms with splinters and blisters in them.
I have two Scolopendra polymorpha, one I’ve had for about a year, the other is much more recent. I have used a gallon jar and tall tubs with locking lids. I greatly prefer the tubs. It is easier to get into the container when I want to clean a water dish or move something, and the centipede has a lot more room to roam around. This also makes hunting more interesting.Thanks for all of the replies!!! I'm guessing the large plastic cheese puff jar will be enough to house a polymorphs. If so how many inches should I fill it up if it's about a foot tall?
Hispaniola has two morphs of S. alternans, one having a brownish orange body with darker stripes and yellow legs. The other is a deep red with lighter orange legs. Both morphs can be referred to as Haitian Giants, a name also used for the entirety of S. alternans despite them having a much larger range than just Haiti.Just a quick question but what’s the difference between the Haitian Giant Centipede and Scolopendra Alternans?
San Diego County has some very colorful polys, usually a light tan with lovely blue cast to all of their segments and a dark orange head. If you happen to live deeper into the desert there are nice patternless tan morphs you can collect.Would you guys happen to know particular spots where I could find some?
I have mutilans, but they are the red-legged morph which myself and others have found to be very weak and susceptible to disease with an odd temperament. If you want mutilans I suggest buying the yellow-legged morph over any others. They are nice 'pedes, although they are very shy and skittish.I’d vote for S polymorpha and you will have no problem collecting them here in CA.
S mutilans was mentioned. If anyone knows who has them please let me know.
Lol. That's actually around the area I live.Check out Carlsbad in your county(San Diego)
