to me it looks like a giant centipede ethmostigmos rubripes
 
Scolopendra laeta. Looks like form D which is the colour variation.

Also I know a number of people that would in fact buy this. I've bought the rarer colour variations of laeta before( D is very common), back when I was more invert focused.

Thanks BigDaddyO, very much appreciated.
Is there somewhere I can go to view the other forms of this particular species? Or even a book I can purchase.
 
If you sign up to the Australian Invertebrate Forum they have a species list for member that should have photos of the other forms.
The forum is a bit out dated and may not be a great place to get information. But it at least has photos of the various species.
