I am interested in this too. I just moved to Japan so I had to abandon my collection of critters back home, but I am interested in beetle keeping as it is popular here. I don't know Japanese well enough to learn about beetle care in that language, and the search didn't turn up much. Does anyone...

My juvenile cobalt blue goes nuts when I spray a bit of water in his enclosure and will chase down the water, but then look for where it comes from. He won't drink from his dish much but seems to enjoy the water on the side of the container. Or hunting it. I can't tell yet.

It's been a long time since I told myself I'd post these. In fact, the little (large?) fellow is probably almost ready for another moult. Anyhow, I've finally got around to it. This is "Hulk Hogan" a.k.a. Heteropoda venatoria, a Florida huntsman my boyfriend and I have had for almost a year...

What didn't work out? No breeding, or cannibalism? I'm interested in Alipes sp. and am planning on getting some whenever they are available to me.

I can't see, but I hope your enclosure has a tight lid on it. I've had one of my pedes escape and it's sad. When you aren't looking it is definitely going to climb up that bark and take a look at the top of things.

I had some pedes and I think they died because my room temperatures became too cold overnight so I am planning on trying again. I was going to use a heat lamp but now this thread has me thinking that I should maybe just use heat tape instead. Does anyone have thoughts or experience with either...

My boyfriend and I recently transferred our A. versicolor, Sparkles, into a new larger home. We tossed in a cricket to keep her entertained, and in mad scramble to get it, she got vermiculite stuck to one of her feet. She seemed so disgusted that even as she held the cricket in her pedipalps...

It's a little rubber tree. That mau chau is about 6.5-7" (excluding terminals/antennae). It's hard to get him to sit still long enough to get a good measurement.

Sometimes I forget I even own centipedes because they pretty much live under their cork bark and don't even come out to feed. They just wait for the cricket to wander their way. Or so I thought! Today while I was at work my special lady caught one of my S. s. de haani "Mau Chau" pedes going for...

I have a little A. seemani sling that has been a rabid eater since I got it. I usually feed it a small cricket (1-2 weeks) 2-3 days times a week. It would sometimes not eat, in which case I'd skip a feeding or two before trying again. Recently it reconstructed its burrow (it lives in a pill...

I have several S. s. de haani that are occasionally sluggish when touched. Sometimes they just can't be bothered. I admit though that cold exposure is a more likely explanation, but I've had pedes recover from this as well after shipping. As mentioned water and warmth are the two most important...

Wow! I am very impressed. You present a lot of information that is not consolidated anywhere else, and this is my new #1 pede info resource. Thanks.

The Malaysian cherry red is Scolopedra subspinipes de haani. You can get more info about it at scolopendromorpha.com. I don't know how common or rare they are in the hobby. I know that the Mau Chau color morph is easy to come by but I've never seen cherry reds for sale.

I love hot dogs.

Just check the classifieds of this forum. There are occasional pede sales there. You can also try any of the following places: http://www.swiftinverts.com/ http://www.nwinverts.com http://www.goldenphoenixexotica.com/ http://www.gherp.com I have not ordered from any of these (I'm...

Hey guys, I am using my boyfriend's account to post this. I am visiting Thailand shortly and know I can potentially eat a variety of creatures on street carts, including centipedes. Since there seem to be issues in transporting home little fellows, seems like the only way I can bring some...

Put it in the oven around 180F for half an hour, or in the microwave for 4-5 minutes.

Can you give a little more detail of what I should look for to distinguish an Ethmostigmus sp from a Scolopendra sp?

My S. polymorpha does little springs too. He usually does it when I mist the tank, but he also did it the one time I poked him gently with forceps to see what would happen. He usually bends up in the middle bringing his head and tail up into the air, falls over, and runs away as quickly as he...

I have a Tanzanian bluering leg (sold as Scolopendra sp. "Tanzania") that normally hides under a cork bark hide all the time. It doesn't even always come out to feed, preferring to wait for the cricket to wander under the hide or beside it so it can stick its head out and snatch the cricket...
