Description
Scolopendra sp. 'Thai South Cherry', commonly known as the Thai South Cherry Centipede, brings a rich, fiery palette to the collection. A reddish head, glossy brown body segments, and orange-red legs create a striking combination with plenty of detail to appreciate.
Color for the Collection:
The representative specimen shows coppery brown tones across the body, complemented by brighter orange and red along the legs and antennae. Rather than relying on stark black-and-white contrast, 'Thai South Cherry' offers a coordinated blend of fiery colors that makes even a brief appearance from beneath a hide memorable.
Temperament & Safety:
A venomous centipede for experienced keepers, not for handling. Use a secure enclosure and a planned, no-contact approach to feeding and maintenance.
Enclosure Essentials:
- A secure, escape-resistant enclosure with a tightly fitting lid
- Sheltered resting areas and secure hides
