Normally if I encounter pedes over 4" in the wild,I normally grab them like how the hold venemous snakes
For those already in captivity,depends on each ones personality,I can just scoop my 9" Myanmar flame legs onto my palm while my Thai jewel will freak out if I do that

yah,but for those above 4inches,their legs also can hold onto your skin quite hard,so might have some scratches

cherry reds quite colourful,decent size also,8-9 inches
quite common in forested areas

long time no update already
some pics


4" Sc. morsitans female


black beauty

Seen that before,looks more like a secondary infection that caused his death.Most probably a Sc. polymorpha

Anyways,the cherry red pairing was sucessful
