Not a centipede guy, sorry. I was just wondering what plant that is?

Looks like a Scolopendra subspinipes dehaanii, is a extremely bright centipede from Malaysia.But i am also no expert and i am sure others with more experience and knowledge wiil help to identify exactly what it is,

That is Malaysian cherry red. The name was sort of right when you bought it. I think it is a dehaani locality.

Yes it is indeed a Scolopendra sp. Malaysian cherry red and yes it is a variation morph of Scolopendra Dehaani.

Let me clear a few things up to avoid any confusion :
-this is indeed S. dehaani and not S. subspinipes dehaani. These animals have been elevated to species status quite some time ago.
-their locality is Malaysia, as the name implies, not "dehaani", haha. There's no such thing as a dehaani locality of something :)
