Oh now I see
Maybe its i that need glasses
But havent it molted in the past
Its strange, he should be able to regenerate the fangs no prob in that. As for being bitten I think that as it apears your safe but here we aint so lucky, a single bite from our local species Scolopendra singulata(hope Im spelling rigth) can put a person in the hospital very easily. However I still recomend to be on the safe side

However I still recomend to be on the safe sideYeah I read about that Turkish man who died. It must be emphasised, though, that he did not die from the bite itself, but rather a secondary infection of the bite. It's Scolopendra cingulata, by the way.coura;2583966; said:Oh now I see

But its odd that he doesant molt, in fact injurys tend to stimulate molting. Maybe its a old specimen. How often you feed him?I've been feeding it too often. I haven't fed it for 3 or 4 days, and I won't feed it for another week or so, because I don't want to overfeed. Overfeeding increases metabolism and eventually, decreases lifespan.coura;2584000; said:That´s why I said "I hope Im spelling correctly"
