One of my Scolopendra heros castaneiceps molted couple of weeks ago...
Something went bad looking at some of the spiracles.
Normal spiracles:
Spiracles after molt:
Detail pic of bad spiracle:
After looking for other rarities I also noticed that the segments with the bad spiracles look swollen and the legs attached to them aren't used anymore:
I realize nobody can give an answer to this, it's probably just a bad molt, but maybe somebody has seen this before. I have these for several years under the same conditions.
The centipede is eating normal, but is kinda slow moving... Maybe next molt will correct this...
