The Giant Centipede Club V2

[dragonfire1577]

So I remember an old thread dedicated sharing photos of giant centipedes kept by arachnoboards members so I decided to start a new thread with the same purpose. Everyone who would like to participate share your photos of centipedes 8 inches and up, I look forward to seeing everyone's posts!

Well, I don't have anything over 8 inches. I guess I'm out lol

Scolopendra hainanum, post-molt


Scolopendra cf subspinipes "borneo black"




Scolopendra dehaani "cherry red"


Scolopendra subspinipes


Scolopendra cingulata

This one's too big

 

[RTTB]

I’m out too. 6inches would be a stretch for me.

 

[RTTB]

For my biggest S polymorpha. Oh ok, more like 5 inches.

 

[basin79]

I think my Scolopendra viridicornis is around 7". My Scolopendra hardwickei isn't though.

All my pics are on my thread. The next time my vid is out I'll try and measure the little rascal.

 

[dragonfire1577]

I almost forgot to add my only qualifying pede haha. Scolopendra gigantea 'white leg' 8 inches not counting terminals or antennae

 

[NYAN]

My heros is 7 inches and my dehanni is 6.5 or so..

 

[Staehilomyces]

My biggest centipede is at about 6.5" BL.

 

[Galapoheros]

A couple over here, I think the longest one is 11'. 5 years old now.

Not sure if its S. subspinipes or S. dehaani? For reference the hexagon tank panes are 7" across.

I'm sure you prob already know this, but there are some mites between its segments... I've been dealing with mites on my pedes for a while so my eyes just immediately scan for mites at this point lol.

Holy wow...

My largest is a wee little 5" polymorpha from Payson, AZ -- though I hope to get some larger ones very soon.

 

[Staehilomyces]

I'm aware of those mites. I'm not really worried, as they aren't spreading, but I do intend to try and remove some.

Gosh, I want something that size! They are so big around too!

 

[LeFanDesBugs]

@sdsnybny, your pede is indeed a S.dehaani.

Very nice pics y'all

This lass definitely qualifies. Scolopendra sp Hispaniola. Sadly when my head had a wobble a few years ago I sold all my inverts bar 2. This lass went. Still get mad about it. She was built like a tank. Sex was unknown but I just said she).

 

[LeFanDesBugs]

Ohhh yes. I'm getting one of these next month. A young one at 7.25" BL.
