Just crawled out onto my hand and started chilling while I was fixing up her enclosure. Most chilled out centipede I have ever handled. So her name is Chilli pepper.
Wow. I don't think I have to warn you about their typically aggressive behavior lol. Are S. Gigantea's more docile than their relatives, or did you just get an absolute sweetie?
@Scolopendra1989 She is an absolute sweetie. She climbed out onto my hand when I was putting the sphagnum moss in her new enclosure. Instead of trying to run up my arm she just chilled on my hand. I was able to go get my camera and take a series of photos without any jumpy moments. When I was done working in her cage I just put her near the cage and she crawled right in and started nestling into her fresh moss.
I'm not going to say tame but I know who originally imported her and I think he must have socialized her before selling her to the guy that I bought her from (who didn't handle her).
