I was told by clockworkorange off here, who had hundreds and researched them, that is was safe to keep them in plastic tubs, as he kept all of his in plastic and had no escapes.
All you need to do is have the tub taller than the pede so it cant get in between the gap between the lid(as i found mine one night trying to prise the lid off). Then make sure you drill air holes wider apart than its fangs so it cant get a fang in each hole. If you follow those simple steps it wont get out.

I believe Mika(clockworkorange) has had atleast one escape because I read a post of one tagging him in his bed
 Though if you do stick to more height than the centipede rule and spread out ventilation you should be fine.

when i had mine it managed to pull,rip,tear? a hole in the vent's on one of those cricket keeper style cages and after i caught it with its head out side the cage i moved it into a glass and metal mesh topped cage which even though was over the length of the pede high it still managed to get on the mesh!

I just found my Sc. subspinipes "de Haanzi" and my Sc. angulata angulata both attempting the "escape through the Faunarium lid" trick. Both enclosures have a perforated fish bag beneath the top- the angulata chewed through that and was planning his next move, and the subspinipes had managed to find a slit in the bag, and was attacking the lid with some vengeance. I did notice damage to the lid, but I don't think it was the centipede. It seemed more interested in trying to bite me through the vents.
Because of his bad behaviour, Mr. subspinipes does not get the privilage of his fish bag any more- now he has several layers of gaffa tape to assist with humidity. I gave them both the biggest, spikyest black crickets I could find. Didn't really phase the subspinipes- he caught his before it hit the floor. Sent the angulata bolting for its tunnels sharpish though... Thankfully all my nasty nasty bugs are housed in one very secure Viv, although it did nearly become a Centipede Cage Death Match. Tricky lil' buggers- how I love them.
