Wow! Amazing looking specimen, I hope I can add one to my collection one day, nice pictures too. Doesn't look like it will need to eat again for a while though.

I have one... she`s laying underground for a month Probably molt
Beautiful specie But remember it`s not a S. gigantea! it`s a S. sp 'gigantea robusta'

[crashergs]

is yours male or female? im looking for a male since I know this one is a female, the previous owner had seen it lay eggs and ate them immediatley after.

out here in u.s as you know it, there few and far between, and trying to get one is alot of researching and contacting people till someone says (i know someone who knows someone who knows something that has a robusta, ill tell him your inquiring)....

[swatc1h]

[Greg Pelka]

I read in one caresheet that robusta is one of the most calm specie eek. My specimen it`s very languid, lazy and slowly

[crashergs]

you work for the FBI? :razz:

 

[crashergs]

i think the tiger pedes are, you can grab them and they really refuse to bite you, they just stick their hind legs up and try to scitter away.

 

[swatc1h]

yeah i shove a food infont of theirs face (picky tigers) i get the same reactions.....very reluctant to bite.

 

[beetleman]

i also have 1 of each ssp. they are both psyco the robusta very nasty,the Gigantea far beyond nasty:razz: everytime i open their plastic shoeboxes i have to be really careful,because they are always on the lookout when i open the tops to feed/water the robusta is around 8" the Gigantea is aound 10" and the good thing about them......their still growing sorry but i have no pics,no cam yet

 

[swatc1h]

im surprise know1 hasnt proven to rasie them pedelings

 

[swatc1h]

youve got your man now....a 50/50 split

Someone really needs to start a captive breeding project with these in the states, I would do it myself if I could get my hands on them. There's definitely a lot of demand, based on how much people will pay for one. Crazy that one of the most impressive centipedes around is almost extinct in the US pet trade.

 

[SilentMercury]

Nice pede.

I couldn't have said it better myself. I hope in 10 years from now when I own a house I will be able to get another one, cuz damn I miss her already.
