Borneo Blue Centipede (Ethmostigmus sp. 'Borneo Blue') - WC 4-6"

Electric blue, wide awake, and out where you can watch it Ethmostigmus sp. 'Borneo Blue', the Borneo Blue Centipede, wears what might be the best color in the centipede world: a genuine, intense electric blue straight out of Borneo. This is not a photo trick or a play of the light, it is real pigment on a 4 to 6 inch predator. And unlike the burrowing Scolopendra that vanish into the substrate, this one is surface-active, so you actually get to see the animal you paid for. Watch is the operative word. It is fast, defensive, a committed escape artist, and the bite is no joke: real localized swelling with possible systemic effects. That means long forceps for every bit of maintenance, never a hand, strictly display only. The trade-name ID keeps its own mystery, but the danger does not, so this is an animal for the experienced keeper who wants something as visually loud as it is alive. Read the care guide before you buy, because the husbandry, especially the lid, is required reading.
