Yeah great pics! Could you take a full pic of the "robusta" with it's natural colors, I'm curious about that one. The galapagoensis looks young with some growing to do(?)

ok, here is the robusta with its natural colors

and i don't think the galapagoensis is much young, it was over 22CM in the pic, and after a molt in this summer , it had repaired its antenna and grow to over 25cm now

Oh OK. I noticed a camera doesn't pick up the size of galapagoensis very well even when it's next to an object for reference. Maybe it has something to do with the colors. My adult is 25cm also and I see that they start out with 3 or 4 'black' segments on the antennae when babies but the number increases with age. Right now the one over here has 7, it had 5 when I got it, I'll see if there is any increase in the black section again with the next molt. Maybe it stops at 7 like like has been speculated for ID purposes but maybe not. I heard gigantea and galapagoensis are very expensive over there, are they?

that's a interesting thing. of course i never get any baby galapagoensis and keep them to adult, but i believe there should be some change with their colors when a centipede grow to adult.
i keep this galapagoensis about one year and i have another adult one over 20cm. so far, both of them have any change with their antenna ——as same as 6 black segments just like my pic. and of course , they are expensive, so i can't get many more
