I found this photo of a centipede that is being called a scolopendra maxima. I want to know if anyone can confirm the name of the species, where it comes from, and if it is or ever was available in the hobby. Here is a link to the photo.

That is S. hardwikei, very had to find. It come's from India ( I supose by the pictures that I have, from the wet forest of india, so I can't confirm anything. Not too many info.)

Look at this link

I recomend to you use the serch function of this site. (put "s. hardwickei")

S. maxima as far as I know, doesn't exist.

Cheers
