bengerno...the 5th one in your post looks amazing. the segments look like a varnished wood. great pics everyone. heres a couple more i took tonight. the wood chips are what i received the pede in, do you think i should swap this out? i have a little more moss like the other one has. i only have the two pedes and they are from the same mother.

This'll be a great thread for learning about new kinds of centipedes, go on posting, guys :). I can't wait until i have a nice myriopods collection too... For now, i only have Sc.h.castaneiceps and Sc.Subspinipes 'Mau Chau' 'pedelings. I'm looking forward to purchase Sc.Gigantea and Sc.Viridicornis and Sc.Galapagoensis and tons of other species as soon as babies get available ( i dont want WC adults... ). Great thread, great pics :).

phil.

haha i said it before..you are crazy man! i haven't handled either of my little guys...in hawaii i got bit on the foot one night by an unknown sp. and it wasn't fun. i was a lot younger then, but i'm sure it wouldn't be very pleasant now either.

i believe there is at least one subspinipes species in HI, and i would believe it was unpleasant if that was what got you!

S. polymorpha
