ya such a coincidence... next sem my pm module d... congrats on the new slings.

for me...i find a big damn floor space first... scoop them out with a A4 size paper from container or slowly pour them in a big basin b4 handling....
i use fish net also if i can make them climb inside....keep shaking it...i found they still cant stand still with all their legs...

i have a question, Scolopendra Subspinipes is a species but have many different types and colours but is not classified specificly for each. Then rise my another question, are they capable to grow very big? and are they considered giant centipedes?

Will do some research but hope anyone have already the knowledge to help on me...thanks...

ryo: the big size centi is black?

weird maybe its gonna molt...cause when i caught it...its head and tail have reddish colour, not very bright but still can see it. Post ur housing lai see le. I put in container always inside substrate.

other than the all black others are kinda fast... caution.... 4 more centi to let go off....maybe feed scorpion later...fight.... just kdding

Added on October 28, 2008, 6:58 pmi send a parcel to a fellow lowyat member containing centi.... look like this


Pos Laju Lot10A,Jalan 227,Sek 51A 46100, PJ

The malay girl refuse my first packaging is not nice and ask me see example..and i don't blame her cause i no pack properly.

Second time i pack properly back she refuse again saying my package got little hole. Ask me what i have and i no wish tell her cause i don feel obligated to tell her. Just say its some soil for my biology project and i didn know how say centipede for in malay:P. Her excuse is my item is fragile and sensitive which she don't know whats in there and cant gurantee my item although i said i don mind. I was so piss off by the system when i read the manual packaging book beside it say Lebah and Ular Sutera can be send and many item. WTF! i need argue to her about it only she let me post while her face black like shit. bang here bang there.

Didnt know sending parcel can be so troublesome. Am i the only trading facing this problem or wat. so hard send item?!

ps: sorry so many complication. i hope ur item recieve in good shape.

Between here a link about giant centi feeding, not your typical house centi.

max-oasism: Your interested in sending lifestock? I might be wrong, you can visit the poslaju office stated by my post b4. Somewhere near SS22. On the counter, there is a yellow book, containing details of packaging. One of the list is lebah and ular sutera. Asked the staff, she did not denied bout that. Later package went through. Didnt care much.

but i can see the staff didn like the idea of sending lifestock.

1 feet long centipede?! tat common eh... should go pick some back

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

3 death occured on centi bite... 1 on infant another on old guy....another unconfirm if tats not wrong...

they are fast, great escape artist, give painful bite but fascinating creatures.

Keep danger at minimal level and take precaution, do not fool around for keeping venomous creature.

other than tat, its all fun to watch em
