Steven · Mar 17, 2004

Some new additions to the collection,..pedes i've picked up at the fair in Hamm (Germany) last weekend.

-> 1st up:
Scolopendra alternans (Florida keys)

orange

these are quite "nervous" little dudes

close-up

even closer,.. macro-functions RULE

Steven · Mar 17, 2004

-> 2de:
Scolopendra spec. (Java)

nice coloration,... these look alot like "vanuata's"
don't you think :?

nice blue-ish sides

look at the femur and prefemoral spur

close-up again

Steven · Mar 17, 2004

-> 3th:
Scolopendra spec. (Ecuador)

Well to be honest i'm still not convinced these are the same as "Peruvian Giants"?.. could be Gigantea's,..but i'm not sure
bought some "juveniles" of these

Steven · Mar 17, 2004

-> 4: My new favourite !!! :}
Scolopendra spec. (Haiti)

I really realy like these,... they get FAT !!

look at that head :}

just a beautiful specie
only very shy,... she's always beneath her hidingplace,...
like a decent pede should be

Steven · Mar 17, 2004

Steven,

Thanks for those pictures, they are absolutely amazing as ever. How big are the Scolopendra spec. (Ecuador)? If they do turn out to be giganteas, or something similar, thats a good buy! How many did you get. I was hoping to go to Hamm this year, but i couldn't afford it in the end. Was it worth going in terms of the selection of bugs available? What other pedes were for sale?

Cheers,

Dan.

Steven · Mar 17, 2004

Hey Dan,...

before i went to the Hamm-fair i've made some "deals"
so i basicly just went and picked them up,...
Didn't see much other pedes offered there..
only "morsitans" and some subspinipes.
i've heard the're was Heros for sale but i haven't found those

but if you are mainly into " T's and other spiders"
MANY spider-dealers this year !!!

and the Ecuadoreans are about 15-18cm,..
i've got 3.

Cheers

pediepablo · Mar 18, 2004

nice little collection there... i really like the haitian. are most haitians that colorful? I had never seen any pictures that good of them before.

J Morningstar · Mar 18, 2004

Staven,
Congrads!!!!!!!
You really seem to have bought yourself a wonderful little group there. I hope your Peruvians get big enough to scare even you!
It would be sweet!
"look at that head" And yes those "fangs" look enourmous! ;P

Hey Martin,... yeah it was nice meeting you to.
to bad we haven't catch-up a german beer on the way,.. but it was WAY to crowded to my opinion.

but everthing's still under control
i'll do a "my collection" topic when i got time
