Cool, do you have one, or think you might have a pair? I haven't seen those in a while.

An odd thought just struck me while looking at your awesome centipede: how long do big 'pedes live? :?

ime and from some reading, the big Scolopendra that stay healthy generally live 5 to 10 years. I read a report years ago before the internet was alive by some scientist claiming Scolopendra heros pedes live 6 to 20 years.

I remember those(Malaysian Jewel) used to be in the subspinipes group before it was revised, anybody know the sci name of these now?

Very interesting, thank you Galapoheros. I knew it had to be quite a while as big and powerful as they get, haha.
