I got a friend who imports on occasion and he hooked me up with a sexed pair of these beauties.Dude, this is awesome. Where did you snag this pede?

I've got a small one but I never knew it was a different morph. how long is that one?Scolopendra polymorpha "Pseudoviridis"
Thanks so much!Neat collection!
I enjoy keeping millipedes, though I have far fewer of them than centipedes. At the moment, I have colonies of Chicobolus spinigerus "Ebony Morph" and Spirostreptus sp. #1, and several Epibolus pulchripes specimens.Very nice! Do you keep many millipedes? I love mantids and millies.
Yeah, polys come in so many shapes, sizes, and colors that it is really quite amazing. The specimen in that pic, though, is about 5" or so.I've got a small one but I never knew it was a different morph. how long is that one?
Not to my knowledge, unfortunately. I have two huge adult females and one tiny male who doesn't seem to be growing properly (he's about 1/4th the size of his sisters and I haven't seen him molt for almost 9 months), so I'm kind of worried that I'm not going to get a second generation out of them (or if I do, that the plings will be weak due to the male's potential genetic weakness) :-(Nice! Are your Epibolus pulchripes breeding? That's one on my wish list.
Such a bummer about the Epibolus. Did you have their parents? What kind of lifespan do they have? Such a lovely pede.Not to my knowledge, unfortunately.

Do you collect mantids as well? They are probably my second favorite invert group after centipedes. Some people don't like the fact that mantids have much shorter life spans than more commonly kept invert orders, but I actually prefer it, as it allows me to experience new species on a constant basis.
Do you have any photos of the ebony morph?I enjoy keeping millipedes, though I have far fewer of them than centipedes. At the moment, I have colonies of Chicobolus spinigerus "Ebony Morph" and Spirostreptus sp. #1, and several Epibolus pulchripes specimens.
Quick question, where in the name of god did you find your Scolopendra alternans “Red Giant Hispaniola”!? I can’t find them anywhere in the states! Btw, impressive collectionThese are pics of old Scolopendra aztecorum (Aztec Ghost Centipede) and Scolopendra sp. “Hispaniola” (Hispaniola Red Giant Centipede) specimens that I longer own (but wish I did!).
Did you sell or did they die? I have a Scolopendra aztecorum the "green stage" right now. Cool pede.These are pics of old Scolopendra aztecorum (Aztec Ghost Centipede) and Scolopendra sp. “Hispaniola” (Hispaniola Red Giant Centipede) specimens that I longer own (but wish I did!).
