What's the size? Could be a scolopendling Grin Check the scolopendras here, maybe you find him. http://www.scolopendra.be/news.php

It is probably not a Cryptopidae, they have no visible eyes.

It has 15 pair of legs (not counted the maxillar legs which have the poison, and with those does the animal eat), so it needs 8 more pairs to reach it's adult form.

And one more thing: not Lithobiomorpha, Scolopendromorpha.
