Aww, I've only ever known my sister's S. subspinipes, he would go into a full tantrum whenever his cage was disturbed

Mine used to be like that. But unlike T's, centipedes show irrefutable evidence of getting used to handling.

centipedes are so underestimated :-/
we need more centipedes/centipedes pics/centipedes threads

I always say, people that actually handle their centipedes are brave souls.

@gottarantulas Centipedes have a pretty undeserved bad reputation (I think dehaani might be to blame). When I handle mine, I don't rule out the possibility of getting envenomated, but the possibility, when you do it 100% correctly, is practically nil.

@Staehilomyces thanks for the insight! I think that it's awesome that you have such an affinity for them. I agree with Chris LXXIX....that there should be more centipede threads and pics.
