I was impressed when this arrived as it is even bigger than I imagined!

This is my second purchase from exotic-reptiles, but only because I got impatient when these had run out. Ideally this would’ve been the first in my collection in honor of the giant millipede I had as a kid. It was a prettier color but this one is massive. Really excited to have this for my collection. Thankful it arrived safely on the first try (I suspect bc it’s not nearly as delicate as the scorpion I had ordered previously.)

I have been looking for one of these ever since I got to hold one at EXOTIC-REPTILES. I am so happy I ordered her and added her to our classroom pet collection. My students love watching her and love to see when she is all stretched out to her full length. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a truly unique critter!
