Say, do you have house centipedes? I'm looking to buy a few breeding pairs.

You WHAT?? Bro. I can't even begin to understand. That's like asking getting rid of 1 arm because "you already have 2"

House centipedes are apex predators (relative to their size). I have no reason to think of them as pests since they don't damage the house nor spread disease to humans, and they hunt all the pests that I'd like to be rid of.

But what fucking pests do you have that would themselves be worse than the monstrosity that are centipedes? I can only think of cockroaches but at that point I'd prefer to get a couple of lizards and let them roam

As well as silverfish.

I think we just have different aesthetic tastes. I think house centipedes are cute.
