Centi escape

[Conor10]

The little polymortha that I have, escaped. No idea how it pulled that off, no visible ways of escape. I did sift all the sub and no pede, What should I do? Any ideas?

Lay a couple of moist wash cloths in the corners of the room. Pedes decessitate quickly, so if your pede is in the room, it will likely try to seek out moisture and take refuge under one of the wash cloths. Hope he/she turns up!

Did that, thank you.

If they can reach the top of the enclosure before or then they’ll always end up finding a way out!!

Just how small is the pede? If a pling and you have cork bark in the enclosure check INSIDE that if there are any holes. Had a pling do that to me.

It was about 2 inches, I even broke the cork bark trying to find it.

If the enclosure was all plastic and the lid was further away than the pede was long (plus any sub) then they 100% can't escape. If you had that I'd look at the cork bark again although be very careful breaking it apart.

I'm not sure if centipedes glow under black light, if they do you could check with that. Otherwise I agree with triple checking the enclosure and using washcloths.

He could have rather easily accessed the lid.
