Why oh why oh why did my centipede die?

[Staehilomyces]

Pedes in the hobby are generally not only WC, but subjected to huge amounts of shipping stress due to the distance.

Here in Australia, where we're only allowed to keep natives, we don't have that issue with centipedes. I'd suggest you try for some local species, or get younger individuals.

I also second the additional ventilation.
