My house is full of house centipedes. My brother is visiting, and last night I hear from the bathroom, "Uh...what is this on the wall?"
It was a medium sized house centipede. He touched it, and it ran across the wall and fell on the floor, he looked at it a bit and said, "I'm going to name you Tori."*
We caught Tori in a deli cup, I put in an egg carton for her to hide in and a cricket to munch on. This morning I woke up, and peeked in to find a decapitated and dried out cricket. I guess Tori was hungry and perfectly fine with eating crickets.
I like Tori! So much better than her namesake. I mostly just wanted to write about how awesome it is to have a pet that rips the heads off crickets, but also to ask some advice. Does anyone know if I need to do anything special, or should I just keep tossing in crickets for her to decapitate?
*Named in honour of my Dad's girlfriend's dumbass 12-year-old, because we're nice people.
