I got this African beetle in a shipment the other day, but I have no clue as to what species it is or how to house it properly? What do they eat, do they need a high humidity or just spraying once in a while? Grateful for any answers.... :confused:

I was never in Roskilde but I bought these...
Thanks for the answers, they are really interresting to watch. I sat up half the night wathing them dig around and hunting crickets.

Sometimes it's good to be wrong :)

This dirteating happened with one of my S. gigantea not too long ago. I also tried to remove the peat from it but it didn't really help much and it died within a couple of days. :(
Not only that, my favorite Scolopendra subspinipes from Thailand died yesterday too, from old age I think but...
