Cool - thanks for clearing that up! I really don't think I could sleep at night with one of those in the house, but the people feel like that about my snakes - each to his own. I'm a bit disappointed in myself though to be honest - when I was a kid I'd have thought it was the coolest thing ever, but since I grew up, I've developed an irrational fear.

I'm really not a fan of centipede.
But i guess that they're okay for a reptile, that is.
Some people are scared of it, but that's just nonsense.
I mean, your fingers are bigger than them.

Millipedes emit hydrogen cyanide which is a poison, whereas Centipede's are venomous (venom and poison are not the same thing).

Of course you want a Centipede. Centipedes rock...
