Do centipedes undergo premolt like spiders?

I have two S. heros plings. They appear to be thriving but have recently stopped feeding and are never out. I’m assuming this might be premolt behavior? Do they fast prior to molting like tarantulas? They’re typically ravenous!

thank you.

Yes, they commonly fade in color and become sluggish as they go into premolt.

Thanks,
