Massive numbers of wild caught species are removed every year from their home range. They are sold like crazy and are very cheap. You do not want to be envenomated by this species.Does anybody know what the demand for Scolopendra polymorpha is their a market for this species, and is their venom very toxic.
Is their venom life-threatning, sorry for the stupid questions but trying to find as much information as I can before I purchase...Massive numbers of wild caught species are removed every year from their home range.

No. : ).............................Is their venom life-threatning, sorry for the stupid questions but trying to find as much information as I can before I purchase...
No, their venom is not life-threatening to the general population but there's always that chance you could be allergic to their bite and there's only one way to find out. So, in short. Avoid getting bitten but it's unlikely you'll experience anything outside of the bite reports below.Is their venom life-threatning, sorry for the stupid questions but trying to find as much information as I can before I purchase...
This depends very much on the size and color of the specimen. Adults greater than 5" are sought after. The west Texas "golden heros" Scolopendra polymorpha and the southern California "aztecorum" Scolopendra polymorpha are quite valuable and sought after.Does anybody know what the demand for Scolopendra polymorpha is their a market for this species, and is their venom very toxic.
Would you have a picture of the west Texas "golden heros" Scolopendra polymorpha? I run into a lot of Scolopendra polymorpha in west Texas. Maybe I have seen it.This depends very much on the size and color of the specimen. Adults greater than 5" are sought after.

Bee stings kill people every year (allergic reactions to hymenopteran bites account for as many as 100 deaths per year in the US according to the CDC) while documented centipede bite deaths total zero.
Thanks! No, I have not seen that variety.
