Telling species apart
So I recently learnt to tell dehaanis by the lack of spines on the back legs and im wondering theres similar ways to tell other species?

Sold as 'Vietnamese black dragon'
Hi, i bought this centipede a while ago as a "newly discovered species" 'Vietnamese black dragon'. Can't remember the scientific if there was one. Does anyone have any idea? I've been asked before if it was a scolopendra hainanum but it doesn't fit any of those.
I've included as many pictures in different lighting/ poses to try help as much as possible

Headaches after thawing rats
Hi, so I have a very strange question. Ive been working in a reptile shop for the last 7 months and every Friday I get a horrific headache. This never happened before working there and after a lot of trial and error the only thing that seems to be triggering it is we defrost a lot of rats and mice on Thursdays.
I took some Thursdays off and didnt get a headache on the Fridays so it has to be something to do with what we do on Thursdays that builds up and gives me a headache the next day?? The only consistent thing is the defrosting rats and mice.
It's really strange, I know. I cant find ANYTHING online about this or why it might be happening. Does anyone else experience anything like this??
