Ok, so forgive my total ignorance on centipedes, I recently entered the world of tarantulas and fell in love, well I have to say I've seen some picture such as Scolopendra polymorpha and I'm rather interested in getting something.
So, what would you experts recommend, here's the criteria..
Something that's not going to kill my dog or reptiles if it does happen to get out. Is there a centipede that has a lower potency venom?) I have no intention of ever touching, proding, or handling the pede in any way, but something that didn't bolt every time the top was lifted would be nice.
A bit of size would be nice. Maybe 6-10"? I could go a bit bigger don't know sizes on these guys at all
I'm sure most species of pede hide, so I won't bother saying a nice display species lol. But it would be nice to see it.
Is there a crash course for these guys as far as husbandry, feeding, enclosures, species listing? Or is it best to just read here, like it is for tarantula?
Thanks a ton in advance!
