    Mutilans on Eggs - Feeding

    Hello arachnoboards. I've had a s. mutilens on eggs for about 3 weeks now, and I was just wondering if its necessary to feed the pedelings before separating them in the second instar? Also should the mother be fed before the eggs hatch? Obviously I am thinking about prekilled food. Thanks David

    What Can Centipedes Eat and Not Eat?

The measured variables would be perceived health and activity and growth rate. And centipedes are like...

    Here they come, A LOT of Legs :)

    Guess what we did in the bio lab today. We put gerbils in different temperature environments and measured their respiration (which could be related to metabolism?) It went up as they got colder, but I figure thats because they are warm-blooded and use that extra energy for shivering or...

    Here they come, A LOT of Legs :)

    I know very little and the source was pretty vague and about a completely different animal (esox fish) it said that the largest animals are in the cooler waters because slower metabolism lets them live longer. I would guess that a faster metabolism speeds growth, but not linearly

    my S.s mulitans molted!

    I'm surprised your centipede is still alive with that 1/2" hole. Anyways, one of my mutilans just molted too, and its also around a half inch longer. I hope he doesn't start picking on the others.
