in my whole life I have only seen the black or reddish centipede. Wah... a bit surprise to see the colourful centipede. Looks very nice but very scared to hold. Will it be difficult to change the bedding?
*
their speed was damn fast....cant even get a clear picture of them....but change bedding quite alright la....

are there air holes on it? water vapor is gonna form all around inside the container,,,
*
yea....air holes checked...but i made it quite small to prevent it from escape.....i only did two tiny air holes....very tiny.....

Inspect the container often to check for possible escape(pedes take escape artist tendencies up two notches above any other invert) or death. A dead centipede smells awesome. No words can describe except..breathtaking.. Talking out of experience..wahaha!
*
wow,hope that i wont have any chance to experience the smell....lol

Im not good at ID-ing a centipede but it does looks like 1 from the red color head
If u can get a very high resolution pic of its terminal leg ventral view, perhaps i can have a better ID of ur sp

Compare this with ur sp

Nop, we cant judge them by their color because a single sp can have different coloration
I got 1 around 5cm also looks like tat aside from the head is nt red in color

My condolence for ur centipede
Did they behave aggressively when u put them 2gether?
There's a coin inside for an obvious reason
To let u have an idea of its size


Added on November 9, 2008, 2:47 pmAny1 knw where can i get live moss?
Aside from wild of cause, im afraid of mites and parasite
*
initially they show no agressive...but when midnight what they doing,i really dunno...
anw,i think they fight among because the died one had a sign of being poisoned...
