I almost thought so

Also Arietans, pedes are beautiful and impressive!

Very impressive, but to me, oh so ugly, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I would never kill or harm a 'pede, and I admire what you guys achieve, but never ever will one enter my house as a captive

Each to his own.

 

[Steven]

but never ever will one enter my house as a captive

as you're living in Southern Africa,
do they somtimes enter your house as visitors then

Here's a "tmo" really beautifull South African Scolopendrid spec.
just for you Arietans

 

[Steven]

and another South African one,
Cormocephalus nitidus "red colorform"

 

[Arietans]

LOL Yes Steven, they do enter the house as guests. They are even welcome to, but they are the only inverts I don't feed when they come inside

Impressive, but......


UUUUGHH!!!!

 

[Steven]

at least i've tried to let you dicover the beauty of them


PS: some vipers are ugly too ;P ;P ;P LOL

 

[Arietans]

Hi All,

Some pics:

Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans (Yellow legged) before molting:

..and after it.

One of my favourites:
Scolopendra cingulata from Turkey...look at that color!

 

[szappan]

Nice stuff Imre! The more 'pedes in Hungary the better!

 

[xgrafcorex]

the cingulata is beautiful! the segments look like varnished wood.

 

[Greg Pelka]

This cingulata from turkey - something betwen Scolopendra sp 'robusta' and some S. subspinipes specie
Beautiful)
