      Gavin, as usual your pics are great!
      two things, though...firstly, don't be offended when this gets moved to the "Pics" section of the forum, which by the way is a great place to browse
      secondly, handling pics are not allowed on this forum, not to criticise any keepers for it, but just because the BTS can't be having people come to them saying "my child held a spider and got bitten and is seriously ill, because they saw a picture on your site of someone holding a spider."
      obviously it's their fault, they should have watched their kids (we've had a few debates on here about this issue, you see!) but, the BTS has an office, and they get enough pointless grief from ignorant types without people accusing them of getting their child bitten, in that example.
      so the pic will probably be removed, but again, it's nothing personal, don't be offended
      i'm sure you can treat us with more lovely centipede pics anyway, your photography is great!

        For this species (Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans), not really. Having said that, I'm not known to have much common sense.

        Thanks! I might as well take it down now to save the mods some time. By the way, how come I'm not seeing much of you on AP anymore?

          they do say that common sense isn't actually all that common
          lovely pedes, anyway. i want to get more one day.
          can't really get into the AP thing on here sorry!

          what is the spider, is it the same you were posting about before, Phlogiellus irmenis?
          i'll be looking for some like these at the next BTS show

            Yep, Phlogiellus inermis. I highly doubt you'll find them for sale anywhere though, if my suspicion that this species is endemic to Singapore is correct.
