The giveaway is in the head: on an Ethmostigmus the head plate does not overlap the first body segment, which is exactly how you tell it apart from the Scolopendra giants it gets confused with. Ours ship as 2 inch juveniles that grow into a solid mid-size giant centipede. Gold-legged, fast, and built to disappear underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMake no mistake: this is a large tropical centipede with medically significant venom, so it stays tools-only with zero handling at every single size. It is reclusive and quick, spending most of its life in a deep, packed, moisture-retentive burrow and bolting the second it is disturbed, so give it a humid tunnel zone, a shallow water dish, and a secure locking lid. This is an Extreme, keeper-level animal for experienced hands only. The care guide has the full build before you commit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Big Z's Habitats and Arachnids","offers":[{"title":"2\" (Pedeling WC)","offer_id":51989856518461,"sku":"BZ-CENT-SUMBAWA-WC","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7755\/4493\/files\/0B6E78FF-1F72-4112-9856-75B081202DE4.jpg?v=1784779063","url":"https:\/\/www.bigzs.shop\/products\/gold-sumbawa-centipede-ethmostigmus","provider":"Big Z's Habitats and Arachnids","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
