I just got a Tanzanian blue leg centipede. It's about the length of a US dollar bill, I am guessing it is a wild caught. I currently have it in one of the 128 oz deli cups but and looking to eventually move it into a 15 gallon tall aquarium. Just curious as to how big it will eventually get and if setting it up in a semi tropical enclosure.

I plan on having it with around 3 to 4 inches up substrate, a couple of cork bark chunks for it to hide under, a few pothos vines and a water dish. Am I forgetting anything? It's been a while since I have had a larger species of pede and just want to confirm that I am on the right track for keeping this little beauty set up in a safe and healthy environment.

They get to around 15cm in length. The setup is ideal (love the pothos idea). You don't seem to be missing anything essential in my opinion. You have shelter, water and substrate - it needs nothing else. Good luck with the new pede!
