  • substrate looks dry

  • @7am35 Yes it's that for a reason. I had a mite problem. A lot of them! I kept the soil dry for many months and offered water from a bottle cap.

  • @devilspale this is scolopendra heros

  • It's from Texas, not China.

  • SCOLOPENDRA SUBSPINIPES MUTILANS aka CHINESE REDHEAD CENTIPEDE...mostly found on a garden which lives on a wet potting soil...not that deadly,but centipedes are venomous though.

  • Are these deadly?

  • I live in Georgia and I just caught one of these little bastards crawling up my back. Anybody want it?

  • @NyNeNe176 ten is too small. maybe for one mex fire leg, but not for 3 and not for a emp and an S. hero. my S. hero is in a tenner herself. a good rule of thumb for me is to have the tank the centipedes in with dimensions what are the length or longer.i would use 3 tens or a long 20 gal( not the standard one with extra height to for an aquarium. the kinds you see at specialty pet stores that seperate their arthropods in the way your trying to achieve.

  • ok im planing on doing a 10 gallon tank with 2 dividers to divide 3 species a tarantula (mexican fire legs) a scorpion (emperor scorpion) and im plainin on buying the centipede (giant red headed desert centipede ....would all them 3 lil creatures be fine in their wen its divided into 3?.....if not wat size should the tank be ?

  • You are a very allmighty noob.

    Sit down f-

    I had never seen an american centipede with a turkish or arabic name.
