It looks like the "original" Gigantea to me. I have not seen one since maybe 1997 or so. The Peruvian was sold as S.Gigantea Robusta but I doubt these names are correct. Anyway what an awesome find! I would buy it for sure. I wonder where it came from? I thought the Gigantea came from around Trinidad and the Robusta from Peru..............

How come all the cool stuff is showing up in Europe ? None of the cool giant centipedes are showing up in the states.

Who is selling these might I ask???? Please......
this picture is token at my local pet shop:
www.dierenparadijs.be

i don't know if they do any export,....
mainly import i guess, this one they bought from a german dealer (not Vinnman, i'll ask that guy name,...)

I'm guessing this one isn't gonna stay much longer at that shop, he's too damn good looking :)

It was about 25 cm long and about 3cm fat when i last saw it. this picture was taken a month ago.

It was an extremely beautiful species and it costed 85-Euro!!!, now i know that's expensive but it was truely worth it!!!
