Recommended places to look.

Under logs/wood, rocks, among and under barks

This is my (Scolopendra) Cormocephalus sp,
from the taranaki region, its quite boring and at times lets its food crawl all over it.

  • @SytheClaw Yeah if people knew what was lurking in their own backyard they would freak

  • @SytheClaw Iv been bitten by one this size once and it hurt bad as, it turned purple and got swollen. They hate being mishandled so you gotta be real careful and let them go where they want, I couldn't imagine being bitten by one your talking about ouch!!!!
