My subspinipes dehaani gave me a surprise

[blooms]

I bought a 12 inch long s. subspinipes dehaani about a month ago. This morning I went to check on it to find it curled up in a ball. Then it moved and I noticed a clutch of white eggs.

Why are the eggs white? I have never heard of white centipede eggs. Maybe you were sold a chicken. Also, I want to see pics next to a ruler. I am seriously doubting it is 12 inches long. Congrats anyway! Try not to bother it.

I'd like to see any pics you have of it too. 12 inches, wow.

Ditto on pics, you can't just throw that out there without proof.

I, too, would like to see a picture of this so-called 12" beast.

I have a thirteen foot cockatiel that moved off its perch to reveal four blind mice!
Seriously though, are they eggs from the centred? They're usually yellowy/Orange colour and are grasped by the pede. I guess they could all be infertile and discarded?

What is a centred?

I have an 8''+ S.Subspinipes and I consider that an impressive beast indeed... your gonna have to provide those pics, here is mine in video format.

Also showing a couple of my other pedes for comparison, 6'' and 5'' respectively.

We need pic's of this beast!! I thought my 2 Female's that had YELLOW eggs and were 7" to 8" shown here were on the large side for subspisipes http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=203236
