Nice pics man. One thing though, what made you decide to hold your pede? Scary stuff, I don't got what it takes to do that.

Hey Waspa there isn't "albino" in invertebrates, only "color morphs"
and how are those pedelings doing afterwards?

Arachnomaniak · Jul 19, 2005

Hey Randolph, what about that african giant land snail? Last time I checked it counted as an invertabrate.

Randolph XX() · Jul 19, 2005

hey Dave
they are lack of Tyrosinase, which help them hydrodized Melanin, the black
(actually i just googled it)
can someone else explain more?

Rabid Flea · Jul 19, 2005

Jeezus you got bigger <edit> than me to hold a pede. I tried holding one about an inch long (local pede) and it nailed me... best of luck. And oh by the way... awesome pix.

Hi waspider,

thats a really nice morph of S. s. mutilans. I saw one of the for sale recently at the BTS, but it was about £20 so i decided not to get it.

Has the S. subspinipes had it's fangs clipped?

Cheers,

I've seen a photo of an albino millipede.

Cool. Don't forget to post in the bite report section when you next get tagged!

waspider · Jul 19, 2005

compared with others that is more docility. the photo was taken in winter, duiring that time she was not so active.

Now i won't do it again, safety first! :wall:

What species is that african millipede practical?

there CAN NOT be albinism in inverts. the color you perceive is a result of, in part, refraction of light off of cuticle, not reflection of light off of pigments.

albinism, by definition, is lacking melanin, a pigment.

you can certainly see a white color morph, however.... it just isn't an albino

Ecilious · Jul 19, 2005

So using correction fluid doesn't make them albino? Awwww... all those wasted hours.

NiGHTS · Jul 19, 2005

I thought there could be albanism, in millipedes at least. Perhaps it's just color morphing, but one of the millipedes on the cover of Orin's book is even an albino. Check out the thread here: http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=46686&highlight=albino

Thanks all :razz:

NiGHTS · Jul 20, 2005

Those Rhinocricus spec are very nice looking. They're almost the inverse of my Puerto Rican Yellow/Black millipedes - black body with yellow bands, instead of the other way around

ROACHMAN · Jul 20, 2005

white millie

hey that was bred and raise by the ROACHMAN

;P ;P ;P ;P ;P

NiGHTS · Jul 21, 2005

Got any of those for sale now Roachman?

ROACHMAN · Jul 21, 2005

Got some but not for sale as of yet
