New Centipede!

[Ravn]

I just got a new centipede today, thought I would share it here. It’s a Scolopendra subspinipes from Hawaii. The photos are through the box it came and, and as soon as it was moved to its terrarium it hid so sorry for the poor quality

Beautiful! How large is it and how much bigger will it get?

At this time it seems to be around 16cm long, but I didn’t get too good of a look before it hid in its terrarium. I would guess it gets to around 18-20cm max, but I don’t have any experience with this species from that locality so it will be interesting to see
