Giant Centipede: Scolopendra laeta

Dear Glen,
The longitudinal striping on your Giant Centipede is quite distinctive, and the closest match we could locate is Scolopendra laeta which we found on FlickR, and the individual depicted also has blue legs.  We then found additional images on Arachoboards, and it seems the species has variable coloration, but the longitudinal striping seems a constant.
