    As someone who keeps these, make sure there's more than ¾ of their body length in height between the top of the enclosure and the substrate and any possible cross-ventilation holes. When I transferred my first one into it's first homemade enclosure it immediately used the ventilation holes on one side to climb up high enough to reach the top of the enclosure and got out, all within a split second. In a leggy flash it was across the room and in my bed 😱, spent several terrified minutes carefully taking my bed apart trying to find it without getting "bit" when out of the corner my eye I see it walking across the floor on the other side of the room again. Was finally able to get it in the catch cup and into a different enclosure that while too small was too tall for it to get out. Was the absolute most terrifying experience of my life and earned the centipede the name Cthulhu.

    The thing no one tells you about female centipedes is that a lot of them are actually really excellent mothers. Moms will use their body to create a nest for the eggs, and often the hatchlings, too, swaddling them to protect them from predators. Some even take this a step further and offer their own bodies as food for their babies.

    I could be imagining things, but I swear centipedes are intelligent too. Here in Washington DC I had a common centipede of the US variety (and I've been to SE Asia where the bugs are bigger) come up to me while I was sleeping on the carpet as I like to do and take a bite out of me. I shoed it away. The next day the same thing, at the same time at night. And the third day. I felt a little sting. Like it figured out how to make a meal out of me every night at the same time, to steal a little food using my body. I love insects. I won't spoil the story and tell you what I did the fourth day since I was getting fed up with the insect antics, no pun intended. But I might make up for it by getting a centipede (or black widow, or preying mantis) as a pet...if my partner doesn't freak out.

    I considered getting one of these in the past. Then I saw on arachnid forums that many of the people who keep the more dangerous varieties of spiders and scorpions didn't want anything to do with them. At least one of them, after remarking how giant centipedes can chew through metal screens, said that if one ever escaped in their house they would either: A. Move out B. Burn it down for insurance, and move out C. Invite their in laws to stay over, then A and B above Plus, as far as I understand, they spend most of their time under the substrate, so you hardly see them. Oh, and if you have a pair and they breed, expect hundreds of babies.

    There is a nut called Coyote Peterson who basically seems to be making it his life's work to expand upon the Schmidt Sting pain index. He goes around getting stung by all kinds of venomous arachnids and rates the agony of each experience. Anyway, I've seen the guy take stings off of things like bullet ants and executioner wasps and mostly keep it together. That was until he did the giant centipede episode. Never seen him lose it like that for any other bite. He had to cut the camera and get out the venom extractor which is something he just does not do. He rated it the worst thing he has ever been hit by when it comes to the pain.

Where I'm from we don't have any venomous creatures, so I find it interesting to learn about invertebrate predators like this. And I have heard stories about centipedes from someone in New Mexico who said you'll find these guys in places where there's water. People have been attacked by them, and even when cut in half, they still keep coming at you. God forbid one gets caught in your hair. Definitely on my Will Never Be A Pet list. I'd rather have a pet rock made of uranium ore, TBH. But behind a professionally kept glass, or on video, I could watch these guys for hours.

Got crawled on by an escapee while I was feeding mantids in the same room, and it scared me way more than the many tarantulas I've been crawled on by. At least those things are less inclined to bite you so long as you relax while handling them. I've been at this work place for almost a year now but I still can't brave the centipedes lol.

    Hey clint, dex here with a message from my 60 year old grandmother. A while ago i saw your video on leopard geckos (after getting a MBK from that video) and decided to get one. We've been taking care of it for the last 6 months and my grandmother has fallen in love with the guy (we call him snow because hes a snow leopard morph). She had a deathly fear of reptiles, (snakes especially), but your videos have been a great help in providing an understanding for theses wonderful creatures. Snow has really helped her through a rough patch in our lives and she's just gotten comfortable holding my snake abby (short for ebony). we'd both like to extend our thanks to you, a fellow lover of reptiles and animals of all shapes and sizes. You're the greatest ^w^

    I have a similar story, One time I was just in my room and I saw a little spider run under my bed, and no way was I going under the bed with a spider to kill it, so the day passes and I go to bed, then I wake up suddenly and feel something on my face, crawling, I wake up and slap myself in the face pretty dang hard, and it turns out THE SPIDER WAS CRAWLING ON MY FACE, now I hate spiders.

    I had one for about a year until it unexpectedly died. I supposed I accidentally let it get too dry. But he was a fun pet. I loved watching him eat. Fed him crickets, roaches, and even a pinkie mouse. He cost me $25 at an expo. I hope to get another in the future and be a little more careful with it. I checked to make sure he was in the aquarium everyday and he’d hide inside things so it was scary to lift things up and look lol.

    I just purchased a giant centipede its about 5 inches long and its a fantastic pet. Its always out running around and when it burrows its right against the glass so you can watch it. You should get one they are excellent to have and watch, the care is easy its a win win.

    As a teen, I had one of these crawl on my face while I was asleep. It made me jump out of bed and try to turn on the light to locate it as fast as possible, only to realize there was no power in the house (the joys of living on a shitty Caribbean island). I had to hunt the f'ckn thing for 2 hours using a flashlight only to eventually find it right in front of my feet. Finally, I got him stuck under a heavy book, got the biggest chef's knife I had and divided him into a dozen small pieces. Thing was still moving at the end. Why in the world would anyone want this as 'pet' is beyond me.

    Awesome educational footage based on real science. I believe the largest centipede could grow up to 35cm, perhaps two-thirds the length of this container. I agree on your handleability score since giant _Scolependras_ are indeed nowhere easy to take, given their aggression upon provocation & agility.

    It's unclear how deadly centipede venom is by itself in humans. However, centipede bites can and do cause allergic reactions that in turn can kill you. Some larger centipede species may be dangerously poisonous to certain individuals even without anaphylaxis in the mix. This will depend on individual reaction to the venom, quantity of venom injected etc. Children and the elderly are most at risk of systemic poisoning from centipedes. Final note that centipedes inflict pretty deep wounds with lots of local tissue swelling and possibly necrosis. This in turn creates ideal conditions for infection and any infection could be fatal.

    If there's anything to be learned by Coyote Peterson letting himself be bitten by a giant desert centipede, it's that even if the venom doesn't kill you, you'll likely wish you were dead. Several species of centipede are known to have incredibly painful bites.

    I've rehoused and interacted up close with all of my 39 tarantulas and scorpions, but it's the lone scolopendra subspinipes I've had for a couple of years already that gets the sweat beading on my forehead. These things have the power, speed, and unpredictability to inspire apprehension in even the most seasoned invert keeper, and the asian species especially are of a sufficiently nervous disposition to make sure that when they twitch, you twitch. Do yourself a favour and avoid making physical contact with one of these, tweezer and hemostat handling will keep you and the centipede safe. If it doesn't take them from you, of course. Watching it barrel around the enclosure at night and rip into the feeder of your choice is something I wouldn't miss for the world though. I'll be sad to see mine go, and there will always be a centipede in my collection.
