Most of your Pedes are socialized, so they don't count!

Nah, most aren’t. I’ve done it with WC dehaani and mint legs also.

Then you're either the bravest hobbyist I've ever met, or the dumbest.... How do you do it?

You’ve got to pin them like a snake or grab them with a towel. Having two people is helpful.

I might as well just send my S. heros arizonensis to him.... He's been bit so many times, he's immune to their venom anyway

Since we are relative close geographically it's easier for me, ha ha.

If I’m being perfectly honest centipedes freak me out. Not exactly sure why but the painful bits don’t help butCongratulations y’all! This is definitely the longest convo I’ve seen for a photo. I’m sure there are longer I haven’t seen
