Source on those acrylic tanks? Lol I had one I acquired by purchasing a collection and have been looking for more. Otherwise beautiful pede. Cheers

“Smaller” hatchling to juveniles < four inches I will feed often as much as one prey item every 2-3 days. For sub adults and adults once a week is sufficient if feeding one decent prey item. Multiple items if they’re not adequately sized. You don’t wanna overfeed older specimen but I do see a...

Mites usually means too much uneaten and or rotten food in the enclosure, limit this to dial back the mite population. They likely won’t bother your pedes in smaller density populations but if unchecked they can quickly become quite numerous, leading to stressed out millipedes. This can have...

Any noticeable odor from the specimen? Was there any chemicals used in the proximities of your specimen?

Definitely, I’ve battled them myself on multiple occasion. I’ve only ever lost two inverts to nematodes and both instances were wild caught import Avicularia spp.

Female pedes will lay eggs when they have not been bred or fertilized. If this occurs they will without fail consume the infertile eggs within three days of laying them. They will also eat the eggs if they are disturbed by something or feeling stressed in their environment. If I was going to bet...

The chances of them actually being a nematode that can harm your inverts are almost null. They are likely feeding on bacteria, fungi, or substrate itself. They’re more unsightly than a threat to your pets...

Aside from the mislabeled species from the seller, that looks like a solid S.dehaani There have been ones I’ve seen imported in with terrible mycosis and missing legs. This specimen looks great.

The pede will be brightly colored and larger than it was

It really comes down to what essential oils are in any given wax melt you choose to burn some essential oils are harmless to inverts and others are very strong insecticides.

You will have decent luck searching just beyond the edges of active or seasonal creek beds/washes during the monsoon season just don’t become a victim to a flash flood be safe and turn around don’t drown.

Centipedes are myriapods not insects. Cheers

After a monsoon

If we’re wishing I wish I would have bought 30 true agb back in the early 2000s when my local petco had them for 19.99

They will gladly take it, I’ve fed centipedes a ton of unconventional centipede food and bug burger is one of them. They’ll also take fruits, raw meats, honey, and even pressed juice lol

I use the ribbons where I can, previously had used them heavily but have since acquired a cat and he does enjoy getting caught in sticky ribbon traps himself so placements have had to be altered LOL

Not prone to biting in my experience and for new world terrestrial tarantulas they are some of the most active in my opinion. Mine only hid for a molt.

Hows it!? Welcome to the hobby. @Stemmy101 L parahybana can get interesting around the 3-4 inch mark but otherwise are easy to keep. Take this information anecdotally as I personally have dealt with some pretty flighty juvenile L parahybanas cheers

Capsella bursa-pastoris is the plant and according to this: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-28564-x They do kill nematodes as well should be promising to attempt to finally rid my house plants and enclosures of pest critters and it maybe as easy as germinating a few seeds.

There is a common plant in my state that produces seeds that attract and kill mosquito larvae among other things in order to provide nitrogen for the new seed in nitrogen deficient soils. I hypothesized that this seed may also kill other troubling larvae such as fungus gnats and perhaps others...
