She moulted this afternoon

[Pede Wrangler]

This is probably the largest centipede I own - she was measured accurately at 15cm (6") bodylength. I hope she's bigger now that she's molted! Enjoy. (excuse the quality of some of the pics please)

This often varies. I watched another centipede of the same species take almost 3 hours to complete the process, whereas this individual took only about an hour. Nice avatar, by the way. :evil_lol:

Thanks! It's a pity the pink and blue colouration doesn't last long after the moult though.

What's the lifespan of one of these, when kept as a pet?
