yesterday evening i found my s. subspinipes de hanni dead:( in its enclouser.
This was quite a shock for me as it was doing perfectly fine until yesterday.
It was 16cm long so i gues it couldnt died out of old age, right?

I had it for like a month and a half, do u think it is possible that it was already sick or something when i got it?

It was kept on a room temperature with medium humidity and was fed only home raised crickets.

Do u have any sugestions on what could be the cause of this sudden death?

Dunno, man. I had an S. subspinipes that was fine for six months before it died of no apparent reason. I might consider age a possibility -- yours may have just been a small individual.

The captive-bred subspinipes I've had better luck with. Such is the problems of WC centipedes.
