if i hold it in the wild, it will probably bite me yes? whats your tactic to holding a pede? let it crawl on the ground first, then hold it?

Normally if I encounter pedes over 4" in the wild,I normally grab them like how the hold venemous snakes
For those already in captivity,depends on each ones personality,I can just scoop my 9" Myanmar flame legs onto my palm while my Thai jewel will freak out if I do that

oh ok so you just grab the pede's head? The sting is not at the backside? or should i grab both head and tail?

yah,but for those above 4inches,their legs also can hold onto your skin quite hard,so might have some scratches

yep. i've held some beetles and can really feel that they have the strength to struggle free often.

I want big fat colorful centipede. anyone selling?

cherry reds quite colourful,decent size also,8-9 inches
quite common in forested areas

long time no update already
some pics


4" Sc. morsitans female


black beauty

Hi Lee CH. Careful with these pedes bro.

Sometimes, it is just not worth it - http://www.ispub.com/ostia/index.php?xmlFi...2/centipede.xml

Seen that before,looks more like a secondary infection that caused his death.Most probably a Sc. polymorpha

Anyways,the cherry red pairing was sucessful

anyone know where to buy red feather tail centipede?

How to feed it? Will it bite? Can put on hand play?

Caught this cherry red while wondering into my house few months back..
Have released it back into the forest.

Check out its black fangs and fiery red exotic colour.

Can feed it with other small insects like crickets, grasshoppers, cockroaches, lc worms, etcs..

U can buy from pet shop crickets food.. or u can catch in the wild

About 15cm++ long. Check out its colour & black fangs :[=





Yes, this cherry red wander into my room at midnite... my neighbour house doing renovation.
Other nearby house owner also told me they found centipede and killed it..

I didnt kill it coz feel its colour very nice and centipede have strong surviving skill, .. so just catch, take pics, videos and released it back to jungle.
My housing area is near forest... i used to comb and hunt for fighting spiders last time.. u can find me in fighting spiders forums. Now no longer hunt.

Theres shop selling centipedes..
