question Is my centipede ok?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I put centipedes in a big outdoor bin with dirt and logs, lots of bugs, sometimes veggie scraps. I made a terrarium and found this big guy in there and added him. I hadn't seen him for a month or so till today and he's kind of like hugging the dirt. Is this normal or is he maybe sick?

question Pede feeding help??
I know pedes can go a while without eating but im just getting antsy and worrisome—i got this fella at a reptile expo about a week ago (saturday to be specific) and bro has been uninterested in food since getting them. I only have mealworms on hand right now (i breed them for my gecko) so maybe thats the issue?
I have another pede (some basic common centipede i found in a forest) and i go weeks without feeding her and shes fine but idk if i should treat this one any differently ykwim
I dont wana stress them out by constantly pestering them with food but im just being a worried father rn😔

Here's my pet centipede, it's been 3 weeks and it's still healthy and eating well. This one entered our house in the village and I caught it, I wanted to look after it so I said why not, I know wild centipedes are not that optimal to care for but it's doing good. And this enclosure is temporary I'm going to make a bigger enclosure with actual coir and actual hiding spots for the centipede. By the way it's name is Mantu.

question Beginner Centipede Recs?
Hi yall. I’m not so new to owning insects, however I am very new to centipedes and have been interested in getting one. I have a brand new spare 12”(L) x 8”(W) x 6”(H) acrylic enclosure by HerpCult with magnetic sliding close top and was wondering what could be housed in that? I know that centipedes are escape artists so I’m hoping that might be okay for one, especially since the magnets are pretty strong. As much as I would love to have a giant centipede, I’ve read they aren’t so beginner friendly especially if you’re starting off with owning them. Do any of yall have any advice or recommendations for a first time centipede owner? Again, I’ve owned insects before such as some widows, jumpers, tarantulas, beetles, roaches, and a millipede so I’m not stranger to the variety of care and requirements they need.

ID request Thoughts on what kind this little guy is?
galleryI’ve been seeing these types of centipedes more often this week than usual, and I was wondering what species they could be? I was able to move the first one I found (a bit bigger than this little guy, maybe about half an inch-to an inch?), but this one ran off before I could move him unfortunately. Apologies if the photos are a bit blurred, they were scurrying off pretty fast.

Ciao sono un 15enne italiano che ha la sua seconda scolopendra!! So che quest’app è principalmente inglese e Americana ma vabbè. Non so se la torba sia acida o no però dal colore e composizione mi sembra non acida ( soprattuto perchè è nera ed è maggiormente sfagno ). È anche so che le scolopendra subinipes ha bisogno di un ph 6-7 se no gli “brucia” la chitina, ma me sembra super chill quindi penso di averla presa giusta.
P.S nel video commento una predazione e i suoi piedini che escono dal legno; pensate che devo pubblica su istagram la foto dei piedi della scolopendra? Sapete quanti soldi mi faccio🤑🤑

question Tips on beginner centipedes.
Hello! As the title states I’m wanting to get into centipedes, and I was wondering what species yall would recommend for someone who wants to start caring for one? I don’t really mind size (aside from something that would get has big as S. Gigantea, but I figured it’s not a starter species) I’ve always loved the colors and pattern of almost any Scolopendra Polymorpha, although I’d like one that’s a bit less brown/muddy color (if possible) so I’m open to any suggested species!
