Found this guy outside. Any husbandry tips and/or information would be much appreciated. This is my first time housing a centipede so any information would be helpful.

***Update***
I just found another. This one is bigger and has different colours. Are these two the same species(with the smaller one still needing to gain colour) or are they different?

The second photo is of a cormocephalus nitidus with high humidity and decent ventilation is the general care instructions for any kind of centipede just watch out and make sure it doesn't desiccate.
