That's a nice find!

try posting here, can get better answers i think

wow special creatures where you get it amd where you from?

wow..cool.... never seen one before!

i assume you found it in a cave? these centipedes are only ever found in jungle caves. I think you better opt for the centipedes they feed to arowana fish. you risk breaking these long legs and they run pretty fast, so are no fun to watch .

Wow...first time seeing it...nice catch!

yaya
read it that it like damp place... thats y i find it in my bathroom....

btw that is not the real pic of my centipede .... i just found it in some web page and link to it... its in a jug right now...

the web site said in america got alot woah ... they kill it like pest...

i kept these before

it's called the giant tropical centipede (scolopendra robusta)
i use tweezers to lift them or shoo them into another container. But they get quite big, almost to 15 cm long or a bit longer, though move slightly slower than house centipede. they eat crickets, mealworms and though i won't feed it, pinkies or mice.

i think its the normal centipede right??
those they feed to arowana....

they turn black or dark colour when gets big....

eeeeeeeeeeeee ... i scare those thing... what is the purpose to keep them? become pet or just for show? i scare those creature ler .......

i wouldn't really want to keep them too...just that time curious bout it, heard ppl said they are interesting to watch. nowadays no feel for stinging creatures de lar hehehe
