How to care for Lithobius melanops (species of centipede that lives in dry enviroments) ?

[KristianDobias]

Hello fellow hobbyists, I know I wrote here not so long ago but I need your help

So I have Lithobius cf. melanops for a while and to be honest Iam kind of unsure on it's care, especially the humidity (I should have wrote here earlier sorry)

This species lives in dry enviroments such as steppes, dry hillsides and sometimes even in synanthropic habitats etc.

Should I dew the enclosure or since I found it in my apartment it will do fine with the humidity that is in my room and water dish ?

The centipede is also now molting so should I increase the humidity and if so how humid should I keep the soil (I dewed with one spritz when it started molting as I heard that it's good to increase humidity when an arthropod is going through ecdysis) ?

The first two pictures are photos of my centipede and the third picture is photo of my centipede's enclosure (Iam really sorry but I really didn't know pedes need water dish so I will add one once it will finish molting)

You're overthinking it Kristian, keep doing what you have been doing with it. I recommend adding some naturalistic pebbles in one corner of the enclosure, preferably behind the top left hide.

Spray every few days on one side of the enclosure, so the pede can suck up those water droplets.

Oh Okay Thank Youuuu Very Much ^ ^

Sorry I just may be overthinking the care too much (Iam just too afraid of mycosis sorry), I will be overthinking the care much less from now on

Oh Okay Thank Youuuu Very Much ^ ^

Sorry I will never ever ask people on Reddit to help me do anything else with my pet except of identification again since I feel like they don't really know how to care for Lythobiomorphs (or pedes or spoods overall as there are so many unexperienced people who barely know what they are talking about or think that care for A can be used to care for B and so on), You AB people in contrary are always willing to provide me with good care tips and are always kind

Thank You Very Much again fellow hobbyist

I will just check the moisture from time to time and wait for it to molt and then do the classic after-molt care (providing food should not be a problem since I feed it only pre-kills so even if the forcipules and jaws would not be hardened enough it should be stres-free)

I will also look for some small pebbles outside

Can I ask should I bake them aswell ?

You can bake them, yes. Before that, rinse them well!
