New centipedes!

[Richard McJimsey]

Got these beauties in today, I'm super excited about these!
ethmostigmus trigonopodus "yellow leg"
Pics don't do these guys justice!

Crappy pic, but it shows the gorgeous color

Scolopendra subspinipes "vietnam" This guy is huge!

Scolopendra subspinipes "cherry red"

Will post more pics later with them in their enclosures

Those are some beautiful pedes, i just got a E trigonapodus two weeks ago.

 

[Scolopendra777]

WoW Were do you guys get all these from in uk no one has any

 

[Galapoheros]

I bet that package was fun to open! Hmm, I think the "yellow leg" is that one that can give some people a painful bite. Watch out, they can act calm when you handle them and then all of the sudden they will hammer down on you! I don't do that anymore and I try to stay out of the bug room if I've had any beer .

 

[Draiman]

Awesome! That Cherry Red is phenomenal!

 

[cjm1991]

I also love the E.Trigo's color, yellow and blue leg form. They are the slowest pedes ever but do deliver a nice bite (im not speakin from experience rather what Ive heard). I love giant De Haani's also, so huge and bulky and ready to kill whatever crosses their path

Proven female E.trigonopodus

S.subspinipes "vietnam"

He probably wants to eat those little kids in the book.

And, the cherry red.

Got an S.s.subspinipes "puerto rico", an S.alternans "puerto rico", an S.s.subspinipes "Barbados", and an S.hers castaneiceps coming next week, will post pics when I get them!

 

[Boanerges]

Wow!!! Those are pretty!!!

 

[peterbourbon]

Hey,

Proven female E.trigonopodus

guess it was on eggs and ate them?

Turgut

 

[RoachGirlRen]

Wow, lovely 'pedes and great pics! Thanks for sharing!

 

[Richard McJimsey]

Nope Turgut.
The female produced young sucessfully from the person I bought her from.
Any chances of a double clutch?

 

[EightLeggedFrea]

Lucky bastard. You've inspired me to keep me eyes out for more 'pedes.

 

[bluefrogtat2]

if they are anything like a haitian alternans than she will definitely double clutch.
i have a female that is currently gearing up for third brood.

[Richard McJimsey]

Awesome!
She's not very fat now, feeding her more might increase chances of another clutch?

 

[peterbourbon]

Hi,

i guess you'll succeed more by raising temperature and humidity more and more. But i think Steven can tell you more details how to stimulate.

[Richard McJimsey]

S.alternans "Puerto rico"

S.subspinipes subspinipes "Puerto Rico"

S.heros castaneiceps (very blue!)

Unexpected freebie, S.polymorpha Texas! (pretty big one to boot!)
(Yes, the substrate has been changed)

 

[SAn]

hm.. first looks like subspinipes subspinipes and not alternans..

 

[peterbourbon]

Hey Dimitris,

look at the left terminal leg on this pic:

It has a lot of spines on the prefemur (at least much more than subspinipes i guess), so i think it's really Sc. alternans.
Just an idea, not 1000000% sure.

Turgut

Those are some nice looking centipedes !:clap:
Can someone tell whats the largest centipede avaliable in the U.S.?
thanks,
Eagle Feather

I wonder why in Europe we only get "Haiti" giants and never Puerto rican ones,... seems PR alternans have more attractive colors, just tmo
