Thanks Guys! I have indeed taken the lead thanks to you guys! Its going to be hard keeping the lead until Dec 1st though so keep "liking" it for me if you haven't already!


Thanks heaps for doing this :)
 
Thank you both :)

Id love to see that! its amazing! and this from someone that screams if she see's a beetle. LOL
 
Done, good luck.
I would like to see the sequential pics as well.
 
Hahaa, have you seen how many 'likes' the others have. They will think you have paid ppl to like your comment. LIKE - done. Good luck.
 
Not on facebook but best of luck mate. I just bought an underwater camera and a friend is building a holder and adjustable long handle so I can get footage under big bombies and inside caves I cant access.

Not an fb fan but I might join if the comp gets tight. Will keep an eye on it! (via the missus's fb, she already voted for ya!)
 
Thanks you all so much!!

When i get a chance later i'll post up the sequence of pics for the centipede!


I'm only 11 away from 300! I'd love to get there tonight!



It may seem like i'm heaps in front but the competition runs until Dec 1st so all it will take is one person with 1000 people on a friends list and it would bump me off! Thanks again!

Thanks man! Don't worry about digning up, thats too much trouble for you haha. I don't mind asking people when its just a simple click!

Keen to see some of the footage you're getting!





As for the moult sequence heres a few more pics...



Before the moult... (the main indicator I saw that a moult was coming up was the "plastic" appearance of the terminal legs at the back. They aren't usually that colour.

Starting to stretch apart the plates to create the opening just behind the head.

The plates have just come apart exposing the "neck".

Now the head emerges so that it can drag the rest off in one piece.

From here it just stretches and pulls itself carefully out of its old skin. They are REALLY really fragile here. They are just like jelly until it hardens up. You can see even the fangs are white instead of the usual black and hard.

Can see the fangs (well, they're actually called venom claws... such a badass name :p ) are **** here and are starting to harden up even in that short time as the tips of them are starting to go darker.

Almost out of his old skin. its amazing that its in a little neat bundle like that ready for them to eat it. you can stretch it out like a snake skin but i though i'd let him eat it :p I did keep the head with the venom claws though. I've since lost that along with my piece of gila monster skin shed i got when i was playing with them at Melb Zoo. Those lizards are awesome!

Freshly moulted centipede! Such beautiful colours. I wish it stayed that way.

I am :) Keeping it that way until the 1st Dec is going to be hard though! If anyone hasn't already I'd really appreciate if they voted :D
 
I liked it for ya!

I would also like a high speed camera - probably not that one.... But one that can do 240 FPS or more would be best. The price of that camera is very reasonable too! Quite impressed!
 
Thanks man! Yeah they're awesome little cameras!


My old phone had a 120fps video camera on it. Some of the things you could get were awesome. Spinning coins on a table looked awesome. Getting a frog to launch at a cricket was great too.

Best was hitting a drum cymbal and watching it shimmer and vibrate in a circular motion. Looks so good.
