About this animal

Scolopendra heros, the Giant Desert Centipede, is North America's largest centipede, found across the Chihuahuan and Sonoran Deserts. Characterized by a contrasting red head and black body with yellow-orange legs, they are visually dramatic. Their arid habitat requirements make husbandry distinctive from tropical species. An extraordinary conversation piece for serious keepers.

Advanced level: Requires significant keeper experience.
