Scolopendra heros - banded

[alfiebass34]

Hello to all the American keepers, could you tell me the average adult size of scolopendra heros banded ( Mt Davis locale ) is it between 6.5"-7".
I have a pair which I think are pretty much adult size so just double checking.

I would personally classify that as a splotched, due to the size of the "bands". Regular banded have smaller black lined directly after a segment, whereas splotched has a black mark that fades into the common orange color

That's good to know and see the difference now I see them together, what locale is the banded from in your picture ? Adult sizes roughly the same

that banded morph seems to be from Sierra Vista, and about 7-8 inches if i remember correctly.
