So pedes' tank nid bigger floor space or more height?
As quote from 1st pageSo pedes' tank nid bigger floor space or more height?
A general rule for the minimum cage size for an adult pet-scolopendrid are:
Lenght => 2 x the bodylenght of the scolopendrid.
Width => 1 x the bodylenght of the scolopendrid.
Height => 1 x the bodylenght of the scolopendrid + substrate height.
(to prevent them to reach the top of the enclosure)

well im not 100% sure though.. but from the looks of it, and frm the fact the u aught in here in malaysia.. i guess thats the sp.. need to ask rafiqos for confirmation too~ LOL
these centipedes actually really hard to ID.. bcoz only can rely on their colouration.. and their colour sumtims change (near to molt, dark morph etc..)
after looking back and further searching on the web, its kinda looks like Scolopendra subspinipes sp. fire legs!!!! looking at those red legs infront.. sure looks like one~
Bold Part: Not really, we can't accurately ID a centipede base on their coloration alone, though its a basic rule we use to ID themthese centipedes actually really hard to ID.. bcoz only can rely on their colouration.. and their colour sumtims change (near to molt, dark morph etc..)

To get a proper ID, at least for Scolopendra sp, we have2 look at the spines at their terminal legs
Some1 correct me if im wrong

The fact that many claims they are expert in artists, to me height is important(normally double their length i presume), i don't want 1 giant centipde running lose around the house.
Although considerable floor space is required and a fellow more experience guy says ventilation is important for their survival also.
Btw izzu, at least we have and idea what it might be. Thanks alot. 1 thing great i found about this centi, is a ferocious eater! My friend and i was like wau! when it chop on the cricket and you can literally hear the crushing sound of it.
