I am considering acquiring a 3” juvenile Scolopendra sp. White Leg as a first centipede. I’ve searched the forums and intend to keep it largely dry with a water dish. I also understand that the first, second and third rules of centipede keeping is “escape proof”.
I’m considering a jar like this and wonder if I’m on the right track. I would ventilate the lid, and it’s around 7.5” in diameter and 15” high. Figure 5-6” of sub leaves plenty of height to make escape impossible, and I can grow it to perhaps 5 inches before a transfer to something bigger (maybe a 5 gallon version). Wondering if I’m on the right track.
I’d love to use a T Cribs enclosure like the 8” hexagon but I have not found a lot in the forums concerning whether a ‘pede could lift the magnetic lid—seems impossible to me but everyone says they’re extremely strong.
