Hi,
I'm back from my trip to Thailand. On the island Koh Samet I found 2 specimens of Scolopendra suspinipes dehaani. The first one (pic1) was about 13-15cm and found under leaves on the forest floor. It was quite docile and was observed a few hours later under the same big leaf where I put it before.
The second one (pic2+3) was found in a rotten tree trunk near the beach and seemed in the first moments like a 40cm monster. It was fast and handling (for an non-Scolpendra keeper like me) was hard and btw I wore only flip-flops. After about 5 minutes (feeling like hours) it stands still for some pics. In fact it was about only 22-25cm and thicker like my thumb.
