Scolopendra gigantea "Amazon Giant Centipede" (Collected from Colombia)
This is the world's largest centipede! They are capable of 12" lengths with body diameter of 1". Rumors have persisted for years that they grow even larger than 12". They are the true monsters of the rain forest. These incredible beasts are not for minors or beginner's, but for mature, serious, centipede collectors and zoos, nature and science centers and animal theme parks.
Our hobby has been without a centipede species exceeding 9" for many years. That is about to change. The hobby has not seen this species wild-caught since 1999. One adult that came in 1999 was grown up to over 12" and sold to National Geographic for $1,000 last year. Some small juveniles were made available in 2004 from Europe that sold for $350. Those juveniles were grown up since '04 and have become legendary in hobby grape vine. Everybody talks about these giant centipedes. Every serious centipede collector has always wanted one. Now is your chance. Another notable fact is the hobby has never received centipedes from Colombia. These S. gigantea are not from Peru.
We may not see these again with the way the countries can be open, then closed for export with no date in the future set when they will open again for export. Being that Colombia is not a stable country with it's internal civil war and other problems, it would be wise to think this might be a one-time shipment.
