"Some scolopendromorphs are anatomically and behaviorly intriguing, for example species of the African genus Alipes, which have large, leaf-like terminal legs that vibrate rapidly from side to side when disturbed to produce a rustling or fluttering sound."

They seem pretty cool. Heard they aren't as agressive as other pedes. Happy that it will be my first centipede. Allthough I originally wanted my first pede to be hardwickey ^^

They wiggle like mad with them. Did you know centipedes can swim like, like a snake for real. Crazy fast even!

So next week I'm getting an Alipes sp "Feathertail" 
I'm guessing they have something to do with mating or sexual dimorphism. Maybe they secrete some kind of smell or something
