- Their native range is very large, from Australia to Southeast Asia to Latin America and even in Hawaii. It is unclear how much of their range is natural and how much is due to human introduction.
- Considering their range is so large, there are many different color variations. Its body is usually red or reddish brown with yellow or yellow-orange legs
- As one of the largest centipedes, their adult length is from 6” to almost 8”.
- This is an aggressive and nervous arthropod which is ready to strike if interfered with and is sensitive to vibrations nearby.
- Housing is VERY important – they are escape artists and can even climb the glue in the corner seals of glass aquariums. The lid of the enclosure should be well out of the reach of this species. They are NOT a starter centipede.
