one thing il suggest when keeping centipedes is make sure the sides of the tank are higher than the centipede is long, they eat crickets of an appropriate size and I always gave mine a fairly big enclosure cos they are pretty active.

got experience with the more hostile inverts?
Seriously wouldnt consider one if your new to inverts.
They speed, size, aggression, and potency make centipedes pretty crazy to keep.
they are very rewarding, but you make a msitake, your going to be in incredible pain, or its going to be dead.
Iv kept a few in the last few years, going to get some more, but not until i have moved.

Also, the Alipes sp. is a good one to begin with in terms of potency. i beleive theyr more docile than the asian pedes.
Scolopendra sp are regarded as the giants, and Scolopendra supspinipes is known as being the most fierce.
Most frequently available is the S subspinipes, so be warned and take serious notes of the implication of an escaped pede.
If you have them in a glass tank, they can scale the silicone between the faces. they are incredibly able

oh another thing, A gigas is a millipede aka train millipede. theyr easy to care for, and very docile. totally unlike pedes in behaviour really.

seriosuly, a pede bite is the single most painful experience most of the bite victims seem to say. im concerned for you more than the pede.
victims will feel obliged to put the bite area in near boiling water to soothe the pain.
And they will escape if they can, you need to ensure to ahving a tight and secure enclosure that can cater for all the pedes needs without having to disturb it. The speed of these is incredible, they will be able to escape before you can do anything about it...even if you waiting for them to try it. lol
Well it depends on species again, but you cant be treating them like a T, too different. pedes dedmand much more caution than a spider.

im not having a dig, but they are definately one of the only animals that truely scare me...even tho iv owned them...i spose that why really, i see the ability, its the sheer speed:P
If you insist tho, i can help with them

this is a brilliant site- Scolopendra - giant centipedes - news -Im new to centipedes aswell, and theyre FAST! mines still only tiny, but i dont intend on taking any chances with it, especially when it gets bigger. Cam seems to know a lot about pedes, and im sure any advice he can give you is good advice.

That sites VERY good, i dont often use it it has to be said.. the owner is incredibly informative and as you can imagine has such a nice collection its silly!

I just cant put across the speed of them.
basically, 42 legs, 21 tergites, 2 legs per tergite, thats the weight distribution, having 2 legs per part of the body means that they can reach fuoll speed pretty instantly, and they are jsut as uick at adults!
Ofcourse you have to take into account the individual, but quick, lol

il upload some pics at somepoint when my nets working

Seriously, seriously think about this.

They are seriously fast (not just quick, they teleport!), aggressive and if one does get you it'll put a seriously bad spin on your week.
