When you're feeding things to a predator for pleasure, it's at least getting fed. There's a big difference between that and just seeing one animal kill another.
Pacman frogs will eat anything they can get their mouths on (even other Pacman frogs bigger than they are). Pacman frogs will even choke to death trying to swallow things bigger than they are.
Be prepared to feed a giant mouth with legs.
People feed these to snakes, lizards, and frogs. These were bred for food. It is no more cruel than feeding a cricket to a lizard.
And it is good to feed things a variety. Mice would have different nutrients than insects. And centipedes will eat them in the wild, so it's not like they're...
Roaches are a lot faster than hermit crabs. It wouldn't be very exciting, because they would all just scatter really fast and you wouldn't really know exactly which one got out first.
If the centipede is burrowed in the substrate, and you know exactly which part of the substrate it's in, you can just scoop up the general area that the 'pede is in. I don't know how well that would work with a large centipede, though.
I saw pictures of both the African cave spider and the tailless whip scorpion (at least, that's what I think it was), and they looked like the same thing.
Are they? And if so, is it a spider or a scorpion?
Can't you just mist the cage with a squirt bottle?
Another way to keep humidity up is to put a heater in a dish of water, so the water will evaporate and raise humidity. You can also place a towel over half of the lid, if you're using a screen lid.
Yeah, it might be exciting for kids to see roaches scatter, but it won't last long. But if they come and place bets (my schools always had little tickets that you could gamble with, then exchange them for prizes), then I think it would be exciting for a longer period of time.
It's a nice looking site. Did you design it yourself? And do you have any pictures of your 'pedes on it? I couldn't find any. It would be really neat to see some of them! :D
About how long does the tiger centipede get? And how's the best way to care for them?
What's the minimum enclosure space, humidity, lighting, and temperature?
It says that because of the centipede's long fangs it is about 10 times more deadly than a scorpion.
I don't think fangs ever play a role in the amount of venom pumped into something. And from what I know, they don't inject venom with their fangs... They use modified claws that have venom glands.
