Im not good at ID-ing a centipede but it does looks like 1 from the red color head
If u can get a very high resolution pic of its terminal leg ventral view, perhaps i can have a better ID of ur sp

Compare this with ur sp

Ryo i wonder if 1 of your centi is this species

althought your centi head is not red, but i remember seeing slighlty red features on his head. I have another trade with little saint have red features but not so bright as this picture from the website

http://www.spidy.goliathus.com/english/sco...lans-id353.html

Doubt that, according to wikipedia, it can only be found in east asia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_red-headed_centipede

But i do believe its a scolopendra sp
To ID it i need a very clear pic of its terminal legs
Too bad my camera cant capture a clear pic =(

QUOTE(junshern222 @ Nov 13 2008, 12:30 AM)
initially they show no agressive...but when midnight what they doing,i really dunno...
anw,i think they fight among because the died one had a sign of being poisoned...

Wat's the sign of being poisoned ? hmm.gif

FUn??? when get bitten and die will also be fun?? U guys heard of this law saying if it has a probability to happen it will happen right?? forgot the name of the guy... Its dangerous stuff..u can at least try some cool and less dangerous pet like the scorpion or tarantula..3 ppl died....scary..
*
Pls keep ur anger down, we are replying politely despite of ur reply bashing our hobby
If u have research, u ll find out tat death from centipede bites are extremely rare
Only occur in infant, old ppl or ppl with allergic to venom
I understand tat unexpected thing ll happen and im prepared for it
Mind u again, we did not keep them because we think they are cool
We are nt d!ckhead
Keeping scorpion are not really safer than centipede
Do u knw hw many ppl die from a scorp sting every year?
Google up andoctonus australis and see wat they said about it
If u think its risky to keep centipede as pets, keep it for urself, u dun have2 scold us for keeping them
Cheer

Unless he can take a very clear pic of ventral shot of the terminal leg
Else sure cant ID

--> a) Prefemur of terminal legs ventrally without spines: scolopendra subspinipes dehaani
--> b) Prefemur of terminal legs ventrally with 1-3 spines: c)
--> c.1) 20th legs without tarsal spine, terminal legs ventrally with 2-3 spines: Scolopendra multidens
--> c.2) 20th legs mostly with a tarsal spine, terminal legs ventrally with 1-2 spines: d)
--> d.1) head-coloration red and distinguishable from dark body, sternites 2-19 with 2 paramedian sutures that don't reach the end of each sternite: sc. subspinipes mutilans
--> d.2) paramedian sutures on sternites complete, only on sternites 16-19 finer: sc. subspinipes subspinipes
