Scolopendra?

[Hentzi]

I will be getting my first Centipede soon and I would like someone that is experienced with Scolopendra Sp to recommend a good starter Centipede.

I don't know a thing about Centipedes

Thanks for your time

I'm no expert in this species but there pretty easy to keep, i dont think any one sub family of the species scolopendra is easier to keep then others, plenty of substrate is needed so they can burrow, feed 1/2 times a week, they like 65% humidity, a couple of hides, temp around 25/28oc and you should do fine.

Thank you James apriciated

I'd reccomend S.polymorpha for your first.They are a smaller pede,amd aren't as psycho as most scolopendrids.They're still crazy,just not like subspinipes or alterans.

Thank you, and what sort of Tank enclosure can you recommend?

I would go for the subspinipes.
they are easy to keep and they are easy to obtain.
I have a care sheet on these boards somewhere.
