Very interesting. What do you feed these things? What are they like as pets?

sure they were exactly like that . id say there are a few cormocephalus species looking like it...
they are rare in the hobby is what i meant, but only found in a few spots in qld.
if i show you a pic of normal scolopendra morsitans you would not believe they are the same species

heres a pic of a normal one, this locale only gets 50mm max. Normal ones can reach up to 150mm

[richoman_3]

Centipedes most certainly sting, and very painfully I might add. I had the misfortune of picking up a centipede (from memory it was at least 12cm long and nice and solid) when I was about 7 and I wouldn't be able to count the number of tears I shed that afternoon, but I can count the number of times I got really nauseous and dizzy and threw up - about 5 times from memory.

Wasn't a very nice thing, believe me when I say that. Do not screw with these things or you will regret it.
