Wow, super nice centipede!! Great looking!! Just a question though, what is the morphologic difference between your 'pede and scolopendra mutilans?!?

Well, I might not be the best one to answer this question (and hopefully others will add in), but the US Scolopendra heros castaneiceps are NOT communal and is very agressive towards other of its own species compared to the communal S. mutilans which can be kept in groups of its own kind. I also believe that the S. mutilans also has a more orange"y" head... I've never owned S. mutilans, but maybe I'll get a few in the near future...a communal centipede would be great!

Cheers,
Graham
