Your Favorite Centipede?

invertepet · May 27, 2003

I'm only using species/types that are at least 'known' to be occasionally available in the hobby. If you have one you want to 'pencil' in, just mention it in the thread.

I gotta say s s mutilans, I've got three of them and they are my favourite. They are very active and eat EVERYTHING at anytime and doesn't seem to get stressed at all if moved and so on.

I'd have to vote for S.heros, as they are some of the most stunning looking pedes around, and they are meant to be some of the most active and visible too. It was a close one with the S.gigantea, but since i've never actually seen one in the flesh, i didn't feel right voting for it, although i'm sure if i owned one that would surely change

Cheers,

Dan
