Guess nobody told my pede she's not a herp. This morning I found her soaking thats 25%of her body submerged in her water dish, was going to move her but figured, eh... she knows best. Came home few hour later and decided ok enough of this so got a nice big stick and moved her. oddly she didn't freak on me. Usually gently blowing on her is enough to get her into one of her "Angry at the World" moods. What could this mean? Is it just her time to go or is she premolt? Also last week at feeding time rather that devouring her fuzzie and looking for more she ate about half and left the rest.

right now I'm combating mites so she has been for the past week in her 10gallon tank with just her dish. No substrate, I'm waiting on the mites to end their life cycles before re-adding bedding. Thing is its been a week and this is the first time she's done this. She is scolopendra suspinepes
