not really that pede looks like an Arizonian desert centipede which share their homes with whitptail lizards that inhabit the deserts of the Southeast U.S too whiptails are like 12-13 grams that centipede seems aorund that range too (maybe a little smaller but not twice as small). Whiptials are versy slender not very robust. How did you not know that was a lizard!?!?!?! it had legs.........

the Vietnamese pede picture was taken from a distance so it looked smaller. Their lengths DO NOT overlap, Vietnamese pedes are 7.9 in. at max, peruvians are like 18 in. |

I wasnt paying attention haha, Also desert centipedes average about how much? Also no at max peruvians reach like 12in they avg. 9to 10 while 6.5 to 7.9 in is avg for the desert pede, not significant enough for that much of a robusticity difference. ![]() Desert pede^ still in a class below the peruvian Edited by Black Ice, Aug 23 2012, 07:00 AM.

The desert pede is no where near that thick!![]() Also my hint was right, that mantis killed a shrimp of a desert pede, also mantis don't even kill their prey, they jast grab it and start eating. Edited by Black Ice, Aug 23 2012, 07:08 AM.

Doubt it, the site I got it from didn't say anything about it being pregnant. They lay eggs anyway don't they?

Concerning the Mantis, I think it was a Hierodula membranacea( H. grandis usually gets bigger). They usually weight near nothing, theit wings making the look bigger. BTW Sclolopendra gigantea is near the top of the foot chain on Galapagos, just under some raptorial birds... |

so not a single one of the non-raptor bird species on the Galapagos would snatch a gigantea if they got the chance? |

It's impressive but come on vod take a sec and look for yourself and you'll see something screwy is going down the snake didn't violently thrash and attempt to bite and coil the centipede like it should've done, |

Once a centipede gets a secure grip, a animal like a snake isn't gonna be able to do much.

Off topic, but I thought this would be the best place to post this; Meet my new pet, I bought a giant tropical centipede just yesterday: ![]() He's got 22 segments to his body, I haven't measured him (too dangerous) but I estimate him to be 10-11 inches, a foot tops. I haven't named him yet. What do you guys think would be a good name for a giant centipede? Edited by Vodmeister, Aug 23 2012, 09:26 AM.
