Cage ok for a large centipede???

[Geography Guy]

Hi

I found these at Wal-Mart a while ago. I have kept my S.mutilans in it for about a year now without any problems. But could this cage support larger more aggressive centipedes like subspinipes?

There are 3 pics of the cage and then a pic of the centipede I currently keep in one.

Cheers,

I have wholes in the lid only on the one with a centipede living in it. I haven't gotten around to putting wholes in the ones I just bought.

I know! 6 Bucks! What a deal lol

Yeah those are great for pedes. I love those containers because you can manage the ventilation so easily depending on the # of holes you add.

I have several spiders in them.

Remember that 'spider safe' and 'centipede safe' are two completely different things. I'd imagine a larger centipede wouldn't have much trouble escaping from one of those if it were able to reach the top.

Instead, I use one gallon screw top jars.

It's worked pretty well so far.

i keep all of my centies in snap shut lids/plastic shoeboxes,they work great,keeps in the humidity,never had any escapes,though my gigantea always tries at night to push the lid off my others try here and there,but then they give up,i also like those jars/screw on lids,those are great too.
