Special edition: Scolopendra subspinipes


Ok. I did not steal this from picture ejcjpets.blogspot.com. I got it from http://www.petbugs.com/caresheets/S-subspinipes.html
This is a Vietnamese centipede. This centipede has an awful bite described as a hot excruciating pain. If your allergic to this species venom, you do not want to know what will happen to you. This centipedes venom is described as 10 times more powerful than any tarantula or scorpion but i think the yellow fat tail scorpion or the deathstalker scorpion are more venomous. This centipede is the only myriapod that has a human death attributed to it. Quote ''The only reported fatal case was in the Philippines; the centipede bit a seven-year old girl on her head, and she lived for another 29 hours.'' If all goes smooth, i'll have a centipede by end of this year or next year from Ejcj. Or at least i know he is going to sell them so when he does, im guaranteed to get 1.Want your own centipede??
