I Found COOL CENTIPEDES! 

These are scolopendra cingulata, the colour form is called "dalmatica". They are not their own species, just cingulatas with very nice coloring.

I will say that ever since I've stumbled across this channel I've found that I'm not as afraid of Tarantulas as I used to be. Listening to explanations of their behavior and getting to learn their anatomy has taken a lot of the fear away and now I'm more fascinated than anything. Thank you so much

Dear Petko, I'll never get tired of how you use the present and past tenses interchangeably in your sentences 😂 As someone who speaks English as a second language, I understand why that happens, and I like that you don't try to edit out your mistakes. Oh, and by the way your latin is spot on! Love your videos

The dalmatica vs cingulata debate... Who knew a picture of a centipede was all it took to start WWIII

Weird that Exotic Lair Just got back his Baby Centipede and Dark Dan Got 2 new Big Blue leg Centipedes

Always nice to see big invert RU-vid channels giving centipedes some attention. Such underrated animals!

You know you have a good father when even he helps you get more creatures to add to your Dark Den

Centipedes are one of the only things I would never own. The freak me out.

Centipedes are scary but that last one looked pretty cool ...... almost had a cute little face. I’m still terrified of centipedes tho they are the devils spit LOL

YES! I loved these centipedes! I was on vacation in Trogir where me and my brother collected these! We also found few adults which were huge with orange and black stripes.

I have a similar looking centipede with blue legs called Scolopendra viridis. Mine has a moist enclosure and has a network of tunnels in the substrate. It is mostly found in Florida, so the natural habitat may be different from yours. It only comes out at night, but it has a favorite resting spot in a tunnel next to the wall, so I can see it all the time. I usually put a roach in there, and the next morning I just find a couple legs and an empty shell. Sometimes I catch a softer insect, like a mayfly or alderfly and stick it in the enclosure as food instead. It went two months without eating when I first got it, but I always keep a water dish inside. It usually eats once or twice per week now. I've never had a centipede that just stays on the surface, or under cork bark.

"Why are you letting that roach walk over you. How could you let that happen?" - esteem issue for that centipede incoming.

I have no clue what species they are but they are gorgeous 🥰. Tyfs God bless you

I just got my first Tarantula after watching your videos for 2 years! I got a Curly Hair! I love watching it just do its own thing and love snapping photos and videos of it, I'm glad the curly hair has such a chill and dolce temperament!

Nice shiny pokemons

Hi dark den. I hope u can do one video on how to care a centipede

I wish he uploaded on Wednesdays too, even if its just him going "hey look bug." I'd be satisfied.

5:52 yep my heart stop beating for a seconds and i shouted RUN!

Cool stuff! Curious how they will develop in the future and if you will be able to figure out what species they are exactly. Also looking forward to the huge palludarium build! 😍

in the Netherlands, we have 2 types of centipedes one of orange color but much like this one and then no 2 is a small but long in shape centipede differing from orange to nearly white with a slight orange color the first one pretty much resides under leaf litter and logs while no 2 is underground fishermen searching and digging for worms often find these unlike no 1 that has no smell no2 smells foul so it definitely has a chemic defense system.

Another interesting video from Petko The Genius! I just ran across a house centipede (Scutigera coleoptrata) the other day. Kinda creepy with it's crazy long legs. So interesting to watch it walk. Walking hair. LOL!

soooo hyped for the moniter enclosure!

lets unburrow and try to feed it, poke it more and make it escape and blame it on the centipede's bolt instead of me unborrowing him and poking it

I found your channel few days ago and it is awesome! Greetings from poland. And also I saw your can collection witch some polish beer, hope it was good :D

Awesomeness as always!!

Once you cup a critter, slide a piece of paper, or card stock, under the cup. This can be done without harming a critter, and allows you to pick it up IN CUP, and drop it into its enclosure.

These centipedes seem very stressed or perhaps they have ingested something bad when in the wild. Most pesticides don't have a direct affect on big insects like this, but they do ingest bugs that have been poisoned and can die from that.

They are Scolopendra dalmatica. Both Cingulata and dalmatica have different colour variations, and the ones you found match the dalmatica variation in the area they were found

Exotics was looking for that

8:55 I use that very same pickup line.

Yeh

Oh man 2 centipede feeding videos in a few days :0 (Saw exotics lair post a centipede feeding vid yesterday) but man what a treat I love centipedes would not wanna get bit tho.

wait, these centipedes are indigenous to Croatia? ... now i'm not sure anymore if i really want to visit Croatia one day.

Use a fron enclosure, just add a stronger lock mechanism, so it can't wedge the door open with its head.

Petko that wood will definitely add some class to a new pet home awesome

I seen something similar to that when i was fishing but it was a little tiny baby at first i thought it was a millipede but when i looked closer it was a tiny baby centipede with blue legs like those

I would definitely think it's scolopendra dalmatica. It's found almost everywhere in logs down in southern Croatia

Hello great video Petcko

Before i watched a metal cover of 'At Dooms Gate" from the Doom sountrack... it works really well together with a centipede video

At the end there it looked like the centipede was hugging the cockroach!

Looks a lot like our Hemiscolopendra marginata we have here in Texas but ours has sort of striping to it and only blue antennae lol

Awesome! I still remember Diablo😁

Where I live we have Scolopendra cataracta, the only centipede that is known to be able to swim. And they look very similar to these! But I doubt they are cuz as far as I know that species is only found in northeastern Thailand.

"Terminal" legs. Terminal as in to terminate, meaning legs where the body terminates, or ends. Translation? Legs where the body ends. "Terminal legs."

Could you make a care and husbandry video for your centipedes? I'd love to own one but I'm not sure what substrate and things I should use..

They look similar to the Rhysida nuda that we get in Australia. Too brown though, our nudas are quite red with blue legs.

Leggy little lads/lasses!

Omg I saw those at a show but there so expensive there blue legs are so beautiful

* *uses scientific name* * RU-vid: "...and i took that personally"

They look so cool

They are Scolopendra Dalmatica for sure. You can check it on iNaturalist.

Loved it

Looks like a giant Tootsie roll!

Missed you bro 😎

So nice your Dad supports your passion for centipedes.

what a hilarious coincidence, i just got a big tattoo done yesterday of a centipede with blue legs

i have been to croatia many times on vacation and ive seen 2 centipedes at least 20 cm in lengt. Never tried to catch one tho. Yellow legs completlely and brownish/orange body head in same color, didnt look at these two legs. You have to keep them for at least two years and see what will become out of them, im hoping its one of the ones i saw.

very interesting creatures!

Centipede, aka, deadly Gushers train.

That centapede is huge here in Québec Canada the're so small not even à inch .

You know that almost looks like the amphibious centipede.

Love you Petko you're my Bratco nr. 1

I know absolutely nothing but i love your videos

Those blue legs are mesmerizing!

or is it paradoxa i am confused by the blue legs lol

Beautiful😍

Centipedes can escape very very easily. They can push heavy lids up, we've seen that happen before. Definitely needs latches

Hello Petko , i have a question, do Glomeris marginata live in Croatia? Here in the Netherlands only in the south , i heard that they are more common in the middle and east part of Europe.

Petko - look Centipedes with blue legs! WITH BLUE LEGS! Oh I go to father to get THAT WOOD - LOOK THAT WOOD! :D

Lol someone said you found exotics lairs centepide i was thinking exactly the same!

i think the 1st two blue centipedes are SP Bluemint 3-4 inch max size .

S. Dalmatica. S. Cingulata are heavily banded when young.

do they bite?

Watching this and other tarantula/spider channels has really helped me to be much less freaked out by spiders, but I'm sorry, no amount of videos are ever gonna make me ok with centipedes!😳😖

Its Scolopendra dalmatica, living in Greece and Yugoslavia area

Common in croatia..

this centipete really looks like a Scolopendra sp. "mint legs" juvenile. Im no centepete expert but i found it on a website called argiopeterra and a 16cm cost's almost 200 euro xD

Hey dark den when are you getting another water bug 🐛 🤔

Is this colorform endemic to Dalmatia or can it be found all over Croatia?

Scolopendra cingulata has immense colour variability. We don’t both so easily cover some of the extreme statements about them are what they are, extreme.

That is quite definitely a Sulkypede

Yasss, more centipedes

Scolopendra dalmatica for sure

Try feeding worms

curious what they look like under UV? Also your spiders...

All Scolopendra are gorgeous, they're fascinating to watch, but they creep the hell out of me!🤣

I wish you would have posted a video of you actually finding them like herping videos

Centichoro!!

I found that centipede in my house . After watching this video kept it in my enclosure

Centipedes scare me too many legs lol nope. trying to like them. I still watched the video. so I must a little like them lol ✌️💖😊🦎🕷️

Saw your instagram post and was waiting to see these beauties :D

sort of looks like scolopendra tigre

Petko, gde si dobio centipede? napolje ili na granica?

The one you dont know the name of is called Scolopendra polymorpha Wood

I believe the species is leggiboi sp. frostifeetus

Looks like a raw shrimp

I prefer millipedes...they are still weird, come in pretty colors, and get pretty big depending on species...and...best of all...they don't bite or move like something from the depths of hell.

We need your reddit to make memes please:D

Is a Scolopendra paradoxa juvenile

cingulata. the terminal legs have a improper amount spines to be dalmitica
