I am not sure if this is in the sticky but I will post it anyways
This caresheet is only for Scolopendrids of the sub-species subspinipes.
This will cover all of the captive care necessities(feeding,watering,humidity,substrate,housing,FAQs,etc.) of this species except for breeding which should be done by experienced keepers only.Each section will be a different post so please don't post till finished.
1. Housing
Take into consideration the size that your centipede may obtain.on average 6-8 inches.the enclosure can be as simple as a 2.5 gallon rubbermaid enclosure with some substrate or as fancy as a 20 gallon complete with live plants and auto-foggers.
A good rule of thumb when housing the centipede is that the enclosure must be twice as tall as the centipede is long +5inches(for substrate depth)and wide enough for the centipede to stretch out full length.
When using a enclosure without a screen lid(such as a rubbermaid),it may be necessary(not mandatory) to drill in a few holes.
