Plans to sell? I'm working on a breeding project for these guys. Pm me.

Congrats. Are you seperating them or 'keeping it colonial'?

 

[Scolopendra]

we seperated them out yesterday and so i guess ill see how that goes. feeding is going to be the difficult part, mostly due to the fact that up til now we've been throwing in mutilated cricket carcasses for them to communally feed on. but a whole criket to one little bitty might be too much, and the mold factor too.

I assume when you say 'no visible reasons' you include them having been hollowed out?
