Scolopendra Hardwickei Molt

[Satellite Rob]

Hi Galapoheros,
I was not talking about breeding this S.Hardwickei.I was ment 1 of my larger
female.I usually wait at least 2 weeks before I try to feed them after thay
molt.I will prabably wait 4 to 6 after thay molt.Then try i'll to breed them.This
1 i'm not sure of the sex.So it would be risky to try to breed it.Most of my
friends are telling me to put 2 togather and see what happens.But thats not
the way I do things.I trying to eliminate as much risk as possibly.For all I
know.Thay might be able to live communally.It would be great to put 6 in a
50 gal tank and just let them be pedes.But i'm not going to be the first to try.
It's easy for my friends to say give it a try.Because it's not there investment.
So i'm going to just take my time and do it right.I will not risk losing or injuring
any of my pedes.Hay Galapoheros have a great day and thanks for the post.

Hi zonbonzovi,
Most of my bugs live in much smaller containers.Just the ones i'm planning on
breeding live in large tank.Because between my T's,scorps and pedes.I just
don't have enough the room.I might be adding a couple more breeding tanks.
But not at the present time.Thanks for your post.

Hi burmish101,
I wish it was that easy.But I would never clip the fangs of any of my pedes.
But thanks for the idea and the post.

 

[KyuZo]

clipping off the fangs will make it harder for them to eat because they use their fangs to grip (or hold) onto their food while eating.

it would also add stress

something that i have thought about before, but no

Hay KyuZo,
I agree with you and it's something I would never do.But I do appreciate the
idea and the time someone took to post.Just because I don't agree with him.
He still entitled to his opinion.I would never be the cause of undue stress to
any of my pedes.KyuZo thanks for your post.

Hi Steven,
I don't have any pictures of the pedelings.Thay were advertised as S.Hardwickei pedelings from
3 to 5 CM's.A friend in the UK tried to buy some.But thay sold out fast.I've been emailing
the guy who was selling them.But he has not returned any of my email yet.If I get a
responce from my emails?I would be happy to pass the info to you.The only thing that I
was told was.It came from a wild caught pede and he had 34 of them to sell.Thay were
3 to 5 CM's and thay sold out fast.Steven it was great to here from you and I will email
you any updates I get.

Hay guys i'm just updating the pictures.I been 5 days since she molted and
her are back to normal.So here thay are.

 

[Galapoheros]

Cool, but you forgot the make-up today.

 

[Satellite Rob]

She just finished removing her makeup.Then she brushed her coxosternal
toothplate and went to bed.Thats why the pictures are so dark.I didn't want
to wake with a bright flash.I just took some fast pictures and gave her a little
goodnight kiss on the cephalic plate.

Still can't get over how nice these pedes look!!!! Wish some CB from Europe would get here ....NOW!!!!

Hi ranchulas,
I saw Todd today and he took some pictures of 1 my pedes.It was a 8 inch
S.Hardwickei that he will be putting on his My Flicker site.He already put 1 of
these fresh molt pictures up there and he will be adding the 8 incher in a
couple of days.In the near future I will be making a new S.Hardwickei thread
and i'll be putting a couple up at a time and i'll change to new Hardwikei once
or twice a week.So watch for it.
