What's the smallest type of centipede you can find being sold in the invert community?
I've grown a sudden fondness for these guys but I find that with my bugs, the smaller they are the cuter and less intimidating I find them - not to mention cheaper to house! I figured a smaller species would be easier to rear on mealworms as well, which I prefer to handling crickets.
But it's been hard to find an accurate list of species kept in the hobby, and it seems most centipede keepers prefer the bigger species for how showy they are (I don't blame them!).
Any tips?
