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 .

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.
