how big do giant desert centipedes get
Giant Desert Centipede. This centipede can be much larger than the common desert centipede, but rumors of it growing to over a foot long are inaccurate. Giant desert centipedes are typically 6-8 inches long, and have rust or orange-colored bodies with yellowish legs and dark black or bluish heads. The giant desert centipede, like some other centipedes, has a pair of modified legs on its last segment that mimic the antennae on its head.
