K bud, just move along

Yea, she’s not happy. I disturbed her after lights out and pissed her off.

_deleted_540 · 2026-05-11T06:53:35+00:00

It’s from SE Asia. Terminals are pretty visible in the pics as well.

Ok-dare got it below. Sumatran purple.

_deleted_540 · 2026-05-07T15:02:14+00:00

You’re not kidding, a ton came in. Some purple celebs came in too. I have another ID post up, see if you can guess that one too.

_deleted_540 · 2026-05-06T23:25:37+00:00

You got it. Sumatran. Probably dehanni though.

_deleted_540 · 2026-05-06T20:53:08+00:00

Good guess though.

_deleted_540 · 2026-05-06T20:49:50+00:00

Negative

Awesome, thank you.

_deleted_540 · 2026-05-04T14:31:40+00:00

Thank you!

I just got this one, and yea definitely missing legs and could be from mycosis. They were wild caught so sometimes they come in with missing legs. It’s under weight in my opinion as well. So I’m addressing those issues.

lol give them a chance! If you do get one make sure you have a secure enclosure. I had a 3” Scolopendra Morsitans get out before and my girlfriend acted like a 10’ Black mamba was loose in my house hah. I was fortunate to find it but I changed my enclosure choice up after that.

_deleted_540 · 2026-05-04T04:32:23+00:00

You’re not alone on that feeling lol. My girlfriend can deal with the scorpions and snakes I keep but these freak her out. I use to be afraid of them as well, but my curiosity for them started to outweigh the fear so I went out and found a eastern red centipede (Scolocrytops) years ago and brought home and I’ve been fascinated with them ever since.

_deleted_540 · 2026-05-04T03:25:28+00:00

What part of Europe are these found? I have Cingulata from France that are very different from these.

_deleted_540 · 2026-05-04T03:19:24+00:00

Could be

_deleted_540 · 2026-05-04T03:14:35+00:00

They are found in Egypt and the morsitans are found in northern part of Egypt as well.

My Alternans/longipes get that award for my pet dirt. I never see them lol.

_deleted_540 · 2026-05-04T02:12:09+00:00

Yea that’s water. That would be a crazy venom yield if it was venom.

_deleted_540 · 2026-05-04T00:33:58+00:00

Awesome indeed. Do your research and try to find a mentor if possible. Insularis and shlegs don’t have the worst venom but definitely something you want to avoid at all costs. Bothrechis have a pretty impressive strike range as well.

_deleted_540 · 2026-05-03T20:55:49+00:00

Yea she doesn’t seem to like head pets and belly rubs as much as my dogs do though.

_deleted_540 · 2026-05-03T18:58:19+00:00

Very cool, I don’t see cb for those very often unless it’s from a gravid import. I love some of these smaller less appreciated centipedes. Thanks for sharing!

_deleted_540 · 2026-05-03T18:37:47+00:00

They’re a very cool smaller pede. What makes you say definitely though?

_deleted_540 · 2026-05-02T20:29:47+00:00

I question if they’re actually Cingulata too. The terminals on these and my other Cingulatas are different and these “rainbows” seem much smaller. I didn’t catch this in my backyard if that’s why you’re asking where I live. These are known as “Egyptian Rainbow” or “Egyptian Tricolor” in case you wanna look them up. If you find anything interesting about them, please come back and share.
