I'll preface this with: This is the only centipede I have, it's in a cage that would require the ability to teleport to get out of, I'm not a breeder, I have no intentions or aspirations to breed, and should it ever manage to escape, if the climate didn't kill it a dog or cat would.
That said, this little guy is a Scolopendra Heros Castaneiceps X Scolopendra Heros Heros cross.
Its looks are what caught my eye; the video isn't the best zoom wise, but this guy has a gradient on its terminals that starts bright yellow and fades into a navy blue. The pede's overall body is a deep navy blue, and its head is orange-ish with some blue spots. Bright yellow legs, bright yellow antennae, overall, it's just neat looking.
So far, it hasn't stopped moving long enough for my cheap camera to get a good shot that shows its color well, but, fortunately, movement is good for video.
Video isn't the best for showing size, but the pede is just under 3 inches right now.
Youtube embedding is being a bit odd today, direct link to the video is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcxrGLTZ3-Q
