i just have one question do they need colder temps then most other pedes? cause when it arrived it was very cold and wet inside a deli that was inside a bag. i thought it would be slow when it came out cause of the cold but it was still really fast.

Hi,

as far as I know they usually lay eggs September/October or finally when it gets a bit colder.

Just a taxonomical addition: The status of this species remains unclear. It's a Scolopendra subspinipes, but the subspecies is not definitely sure since it features some interesting taxonomical details that point more towards a new subspecies (IMHO).

Regards
Turgut
