Hi, to those who have raised small pedelings (around 1-2” or so) to adulthood what was your husbandry for them? I am looking to start keeping centipedes but a lot of the options i have are small 1-1.5” pedelings and I have seen people saying that taking care of them is a little more difficult than adults. For the species of centipede I am mainly looking at Scolopendra dehaani and galapagoensis.

a friend and i (peep her digging in the background) were out digging for bones and found this beautiful blue tiger centipede! it totally freaked her out but i was stoked. just wanted to share!

I have quite a few of these around since I live in a house. My cat usually doesn't bother them much, but today I noticed her watching this one and gently poking it with her paw.

So I offered it my hand and let it hang out with me for a while :)

It mostly crawled around slowly or just sat calmly on my arm. I didn't notice any visible injuries.

I spent some time admiring it from all sides, took a few photos, and then let it go.

Absolutely gorgeous creatures!

Qualcuno ha mai allevato Cormocephalus nitidus? Sto pensando di comprarne uno di tipo N3 e mi farebbe piacere ricevere qualche consiglio sulla sua cura, in particolare sulle dimensioni del terrario, l'umidità e il substrato. Qualsiasi esperienza diretta sarebbe molto apprezzata. Grazie!

Hi! Does anyone have any tips for centipede enclosures? I'd love to have something pretty for my girls once they're all grown up. I love the new centi cribs concept, but I am in Europe. I would prefer acryllic as I want to make sure there's enough ventilation. Does anyone have any suggestions for Europe? I know about arachnosys but if I'm honest I feel the price is a little bit unreasonable. I'm even thinking, should I just get a custom enclosure, or make my own? I just feel like plastic boxes aren't doing them and their homes justice lol. Thanks!!

Basically explained by the title, how would I go about breeding house centipedes. I've bred isopods, millipedes, and other such bugs but wanted to see if there were specifics anyone might know on house centipedes.

They will be pets and pest control. Yes I am aware they are unconventional but my partner adores them and they do a good job. I will be feeding them when seen once the pests I want gone are gone. They will not be left to fend for nothing.

Im wanting to actively breed them not passively as I'm sure a few are passively breeding in the basement. What kind of enclosures would these guys like? 20 gal with lots of clutter? So they lay eggs or live birth? Any info that'd help me with my goal would be appreciated. I have access to enough adults to start a colony.

My mint leg is outgrowing its small enclosure and I want to make it a vivarium with plants in it. Would it be a good idea to silicone the mesh layer between the dirt and the drainage layer to the glass in case it gets down there?

Has anyone kept Cormocephalus nitidus? I’m thinking of buying an N3 and would love some advice on its care, especially enclosure size, humidity and substrate. Any firsthand experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have no idea what species it is

hi! i recently found a house centipede in my dorm and decided to keep him since it's getting very cold where I live and house centipedes are so cool.

i couldn't just let him be free since my roommates would kill me for that but I also don't currently have a great way to keep him since I have no car. I am planning on getting proper food and an enclosure on Friday, but currently have him in a small maybe 1 gallon container with plenty of air flow, some dirt, and moist leaves. I was wondering if that is okay or if there is a better way to keep him safe until Friday.

I know house centipedes can survive for a while without food but I am still worried about that. I haven't found any live bugs in my house to feed him yet, is there any human food I could give him? additionally, any advice on how to improve his temporary home? my apartment is at about 70 degrees and quite moist and I have been adding moist leaves to the enclosure to make sure it is wet enough.

any advice is appreciated 🙏 I was very unprepared for him but don't want him to just die since I've always wanted a centipede.

thanks so much. his name is bugmeister btw.

House centipedes AKA scutigera coleoptrata "idk if I pronounced that right"

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?

A centipede went inside my room because my door was open, luckily I reacted fast and covered it using a plastic bowl, now I'm trapped here alone holding the only protection 🫩✌

Just got a Vietnamese pede, roughly 6 inches now, just curious if this set up is okay for it Thanks.
