Thanks, I appreciate it
I plan on selling some of them, but I don't think I could possibly (legally
) be an option for you, since I do not live in the US.

That August 14th pic if very cool...reminds me of little Fibbonacci sequences.
I hope you don't mind, Gavin, but rather than start a new thread:
One of my S. alternans (Haiti) is on eggs as of yesterday. The thing is, it is barely 5 in. long, if that. I know it's not out of the realm of possibility for a presumed juvenile to lay eggs. What's the chance of them being viable?
BTW, what size is your new mother, Gavin?

First of all, congrats
I remember reading somewhere that alternans are sexually mature at 4-5 inches, but it was a hobbyist who said it so it could just be hearsay. But I suppose your pede now proves this correct..? I'm sure if she really is mature and is wild caught then there is every chance that she's already been mated.
Mine is about 17-18cm, just over 7 inches. A pretty big girl.

Riding your coattails again, Gavin, sorry. Grandma came over and wanted to see her "grandchildren" so I broke my own rule and took a pic:

Very sweeeeeeet..... Soon they're gonna get colorful, and hopefully a few in my hands.
Would you take the risk of letting them that close to your veins?Very sweeeeeeet..... Soon they're gonna get colorful, and hopefully a few in my hands.
I've done it, and this species, in my experience at least, is docile compared to other Scolopendra species. I think centipedes really have a reputation they don't deserve.
