the ones i've seen for sale at gladesHerp labeled as gigantea were scolopendra alternans (haiti giants),... better ask for a picture, and check for the "ringfurrow" on the 1st tergite !

They are even labeled as haitian giant centipedes
i was excited for a moment
just sent Glades an email

im thinking about buying a S. gigantea from a guy in person for $200 each. they are "6" and hes selling an 11" one for $375, does $200 sound like a good price?

Seems about the standard price over in the US. Of course, in Europe they are going for £30 each......

Ya, europeans are lucky, tons of cool pedes for sale

I asked them before, they are the hatian S. subspinipes.

 

[bistrobob85]

Is that even possible?!?! Are there Sc.Subspinipes in Haitia?!?! Thats in the Carribeans and isnt the Subspinipes genus in Eastern Asia?!?! As for Sc. Gigantea, i just wish i could get hold of a few babies here, in Canada... Anybody, feel free to correct me if i'm wrong about the subspinipes...

phil.

 

[Nich]

You are correct, they labled both of mine Hatian Giants, scolopendra subspinipes, also sold the SAME exact species as S. gigantea.....also labled as a "hatian" giant, and as far as i know the gigantea are endemic to S. America. I suspect both were S. de haani, so id from this company seems far off with pedes.

Gigantea Prices...

IM from the uk,and gigantea and robustum prices are reasonable.Well,depending on what you think 'reasonable' is!!
I have gigantea,robustum,haitian giants and subsispines.I paid £300 for all of them.They are all awesome pedes.

 

[Bigboy]

Hmmmmm, so do you think it would be feasible for me to pay a friend in England to pick up a gigantea for me and bring it back when he comes back to here from studying abroad? And on that note, anyone in England have any gigantea they are willing to sell or know of someone there who will sell some?

All depends on how long the pede would be transported for?They dont do well over a long preiod of travel,young ones are easier to move.If you do manage to get your gigantea,you will not be disapointed,their awesome pedes!I dont know anyone off hand,you might get some luck by putting the word out at the BTS show.I would love to breed some,there are quite a lot of people after them!Regards,..
