Blue legged centipede?

[Herp13]

Would this species be a good beginner centipede? I have never kept one before and was just wondering. If they arn't then what species would you suggest?

I have one and i love it. Pretty easy going as far as centipedes go. It dosent freak out when i open the lid to its cage. I can even pick up its cage and he will just go about his business like nothing happened. Mine stays buried in a tunnel he made during the days and comes out most every night around 7pm. They are mid sized and not very aggressive. I would say that they are very good for beginners.

How Long Your “bule Leg”

these are different then your "blue leg". these are Ethmostigmus species, from Africa. they are one of the calmest centipedes i have found yet.

they can get a little nippy when their cage temp gets above 90*F, but when they are around 75*F they are *hard* to get to bite you. this pic is from winter time, iirc

i'm not saying you should put a centipede on your face... but it is a rather nice way of demonstrating my belief in the docility of this species

I really like that centipede, do you know who has them for sale? Please pm me if you do. I am looking for a "calm" one for my first.

swifty has captive hatched bluerings for sale. he calls them Scolopendra morsitans... but most of the dealers call the Ethmostigmus S. morsitans for some reason.

?&$%?$/%"$/, he only does US sales... great... Would someone actually get me some and send them here? How complicated can things be?!?!
