    Social Huntsman Not Eating

    Hi! This species naturally inhabits really thin spaces between the bark and the trunk of dead trees. I would recommend putting flat pieces of bark/plastic close to the sides of the enclosure in order to replicate this and make them feel more secure. You may be able to witness some more...

    Keeping Damon medius babies communally

    Going off of the literature on Damon diadema, cannibalism among siblings is extremely rare until sexual maturity in captivity. Check out this paper by Dr. Rayor & Dr. Taylor. Although D. medius definitely exhibits different behavior, I would feel fine about a sibling communal as long as they are...

    Identify this centipede?

    It's definitely in the subfamily Otostigminae, most likely in the genus Rhysida. More pics would prob be needed to ID it down to species.

    Ethmostigmus rubripes.... ? , Solomon Islands

    Yes :). These are said to have arboreal tendencies. I don't know if they display the behavior in captivity.

    Phidippus sp. ID Confirmation

    Hey there! I found this Phidippus sp. in San Joaquin Co., California. I find Phidippus audax very frequently, but this one caught my eye with much lighter coloration. Am I correct in assuming this is Phidippus comatus? I can get clearer pics of needed.

    Are Scolopendra viridis communal if well fed?

    I mainly use CO2. They can pretty much be knocked out for as long as you need in CO2. I haven't left them in there for more than an hour, but I believe longer is fine for most Scolopendra. However, they really only need to be in the gas for a minute or so before being knocked out for ~3...

    Are Scolopendra viridis communal if well fed?

    Can they be kept communally? Yeah probably, but expect cannibalism. I wouldn't do it if you only have a few specimens. Sexing is fairly easy provided specimens aren't in premolt or teneral. There are many methods, but in general the specimen is "knocked out" and genitalia are pushed out by...

    Millipede turned BLUE?!

    Interesting! I would agree that it seems to be a normal part of the molting stages. In premolt, my Acladocricus turn yellow rather than the usual smokey blue.

    Some questions about Centipedes

    https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=6774&subview=grid&taxon_id=47735 Here're observations of millipedes in Spain. Nothing super impressive, but it's a start. There are also a lot of large, exotic millipedes for sale in the European hobby.
