I was just curious do you keep all your pedes on sand? or is that just for taking the pic's?

Wow...a jet black body...these guys(S. laeta) come in a small rainbow of colorforms, don't they?

I'm in love with that blonde, stripeless morsitans:clap:

nice pedes!!:drool::drool: but why are you keeping them on sand? shouldn't you keep them in peat?

thanks all :)
the sand is only for pics, they are on peat :).

scolopendra laeta has 5 colourforms. (a,b,c,d,e)
all except E have a distinctive stripe (usually a red stripe)
E doesnt have a stripe, just that dark green/black colour.
they are very uncommon. thats why im so happy to get them :)

just to let you know, australia has MUCH better pedes to offer, as the best pedes are in NT and WA (we are not allowed to collect from there) so these are all from QLD,VIC,NSW and SA.
