depends on the Sp but some can have a really nasty bite. great fun to keep though mines decided that going into hiding and not eating is the trick of the month. last month it was hidding on the lid waiting for me to open it when i put food in so it could try and escape.
if i ever figure out how to put photos on here i'll share a couple as shes an impressive 8-9 inchs at the moment and should be coming up for a shead in the not to distant.

Through the years and because of my job, I've been bitten by quite a number of nasty things. My last bite was by a Scolopendra Sp from China... in my bed! My gf and me got tagged. Not the sweetest way to be woken up but very efficient to keep you jumping around till the morning. Basically, it hurts. a lot. The pain was most intense for about 30/40 mn for me and about 6/7 hours for my gf (she got tagged first). Swelling and joint pain followed for a couple of days. My gf kept the bite mark for about 2/3 weeks. Another friend bitten in the field by Scolopendra subspinipes subspinipes or dehaani (didn t take time to count the spines on the terminal prefemurs!) developed an ulcer about an inch wide around the bite. It took weeks to heal.
At first, the bite feels like a wasp or hornet sting. It burns. After a minute or two, the burning sensation increases with each pulse. About the picture of the turkish guy who died after a bite by Scolopendra morsitans, it seems that the patient suffered from a subcutaneous infection. The exact role played by the venom in that particular case is not well known (if I remember well, that man had a medical condition before the bite). There are a few other medical records on centipede bites out there. I have a few pdf copies of publications on the subject. Feel free to PM me if any of you want them! Hope that helps!

you really will find enough Ts and scorps to keep you entertained for many good years.. thats only researching about them! you still have breedings and stuff as well as learning then! great fun, you learn alot, and much of what you learn you can put aside to pedes..just make sure to read as much as possible
 they arent that bad if theyr in the tank..its when they escape you set the alarm bells ringing. I have mine in glass cages, and the others are in RUBs, within a exo-terra faunarium, its secure enough and clear enough for me to see escapees before opening the faunarium.
