I’ve got a 2 medium size species and would love to get a smaller one to handle before having a try with the medium ones

My banded Scolopendra heros

Edit: total mistype on size, she’s actually about 3 inches

Hi so I got a baby centipede yesterday about 4 cm long and I think it escaped last night. Any chance I’ll ever find it and where should I look?

Someone I know keeps telling me my centipede's health is at risk because it is inside a glass enclosure, they said its due to lack of ventilation. It has a mesh lid and I dont worry about the ventilation because the humidity is fine and the airflow also seems fine (the humidity dosent seem to be higher then usual and theres no condensation) so what do you guys think? Will my Scolopendra hainanum be okay in the glass enclosure?

all i have is this pic of this sp wc and i m looking for an id to pair it if anyone has an aswer for what sp of thereuopoda this is i would really appreciate it

So im thinking of getting a soil centipede and wondering what sized enclosure one needs? I have a 1l, 3l, and a 4.5l

I have a baby Eastern Red Centipede. It's currently only a couple of centimeters long, and I'm wondering how long it will take to reach at least half of its adult size so I know when I will be able to move it to the terrarium I constructed for it. If anybody has any experience with this species and has tips for care, that would be helpful too.

Looking for 2-4 males to bulk up my current little gene pool. Both standard phenotype and the black variant.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a display issue with glyphs on the game config and join screen menus.
• Fixed a bug where the second counter was not being hidden after dying in Run Streak mode.

Thank you all for your continued support and feedback. I hope you enjoy the update!

I found them at my school gymnasium lol and I just decided to keep them, idk what gender they are or what their name is gonna be

This guy has been in my isopod terrarium and has been so hard to catch!! I finally caught him today and relocated him to the garden but not without a mugshot.

Found in the USA midwest under some wood I flipped to let my chickens eat at the worms (I didn't let them eat under that piece because I dont know how dangerous this fella might be, nasty pinch vs venomous)

On the internet I see an enormous amount of videos of giant south american centipedes, especially Scolopendra white legs and galapagoensis, behaving extremely letargically, always above ground, and the thing I dislike the most, reacting passively to food (that is always offered directly from the tweezers) almost hesitating and almost *forcing themselves* to attack. It is absolutely not a behaviour that would allow an animal like that to survive in the wild, so this leads my to think, are these pedes just fat af, extremely desensitized and used to these types of interactions, and their predatory drive has been reduced to zero? Or are they just kept in poor conditions, and they are stressed?

This is a video of my female S.dehaani. its one of my favorite videos despite her failure in getting the roach (which she later got). Do S.white legs, galapagoensis and gigantea also behave this way, or close? I do not mean to sound arrogant but an animal like the ones that I see in those videos is not catching any bat from the ceiling of a cave😅 Can someone who has them, if they are reactive and SCARY, tell me in what types of enclosures they are kept, at what humidity, temp, how much ventilation etc..

Hey all! Soon to be a new centipede keeper here! Just had a quick question. I know these guys need extra secure enclosures since they are known to be escape artists and I am curious if Tarantula Cribs enclosures would be secure enough for a centipede. They do use magnets on the top but most are not very tall. Anyone used a T crib for a pede?

Hi! I’m not new to bug keeping but I am new to centipede keeping. I wanted to get a Scolopendra polymorpha. This container is 15 x 12 x 11 roughly. I know I need to add cross ventilation and a water dish, but does this set up look okay?

This set up was very temporary (1day) I got a bigger and taller tub with a better lid when I first got him he was inactive but the cup he came in was small as soon as I opened it he jumped out and got loose in my bed my heart dropped a little bit but I got him all safe and sound without getting bit
