Sad to see this thread dead. Anyway, I've recently caught a centipede from the toilet. There were many tiny ones but this is the first one I found that was this big. It was 2.5 inches long and after some research I'm pretty sure it's a Rhysida longipes. Had it for a week but sadly it died. sad.gif Maybe I'll try raising the little tiny ones to adulthood.

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.. sweat.gif

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.

Whoa that's a fine specimen right there! How big was it? Wandering into your house you say, do you live near the forest? I really want a giant centipede but I have no idea where to find one.

Anyways, I now have six baby Rhysida Longipes, all about an inch long. lol pathetic I know. I feed them mosquitos.  biggrin.gif
