I did it!

But seriously man, it hurts worse than a t bite.

Agreed, for me there is almost always more acute localized pain from a centipede bite, while spider bites tend to give rise to other, more systemic effects such as muscle cramps. I have never experienced anything other than localized pain and swelling from a centipede bite, but have had nausea and prolonged muscle aches from a Heteroscodra maculata bite. What's scary is, that spider was only a 1" sling - just imagine a bite from a full grown adult!

Hahaha I caught those as a kid (well very similar species anyway). Yep theyre a t with quite a kick in the bite. same as Mombasa starburst, i had one walk up my arm and bite in intervals. Needless to say that was a crap day. Ive never been bitten by my own damn t's its always someone elses beloved critter. oh well thats what they do hehehe.

Gavin...you defiantly got some BALLS. i have only owned 2 pedes, and let me tell you, while i like them...i doubt my fingers would ever touch one, let alone let it crawl on me.

Now spiders...and tarantulas are a different story.

props man!:worship:

 

[blackcadillac70]

hey cody... that angulata would be perfect to try and handle.

 

[edesign]

I had a 'pede that big once...the only invert I've kept out of T's, scorps, centipedes and other miscellaneous things that honestly made me a bit paranoid to have in my home lol. You've got better nerves than than a lot of people here to stay as calm as you do, I won't get in to whether it's a good idea though...just wanted to say thanks for the video and stay safe!

Lol yeah, I have a friend who keep spiders but is terrified of centipedes. A little odd if you ask me lol

Cheers , I had to pick up a bit of courage to handle the alternans! Her size (and the size of her fangs) can be quite intimidating.

haha, i think i will pass. something about pedes makes me not want to mess with them much. LOL

Another Impressive handling :worship:

I just can't seem 2 build the confidence to Hold my Dehaani. {Feisty 1}

What about handling it now that it has devoured a whole rat-pup ?

Maybe I'll start w/ a smaller pede - Jason

I am getting two adult dehaani in a week and I don't think I will be handling them lol - they are probably too nervous and too toxic for my liking. The biggest reason I got comfortable enough to handle the big alternans was its incredibly calm temperament.

I was hoping to see a deehani handling.
I did handle those that I was sending back by accident.
It climbed out of the container onto me... Man, I freaked out.
But I continued to let it crawl around my arm anyways.

 

[sharpfang]

Tempting....

.....I just know I am gonna get bitten....*Tee-Hee*

I will start w/ a smaller/safer Pede, size and reputation wise - J

 

[KUJordan]

Cool pedes, but dang man that is S-T-U-P-I-D!!!
That's just great for you that you've been bitten many times before. We all keep critters that could be potentially dangerous if they got out or were handled, but every time you allow an invert to bite you, you are subjecting yourself to the possibility of finding out that you became sensitized to a particular venom after the last time you were bitten.

And just so you know, over 15% of people who progress to anaphylactic shock DO NOT SURVIVE.

Not only that, but you really increase the chance of septicemia from Staph, Strep, and a whole host of other microbes that again would make you wish you hadn't done it.

I really feel like stuff like this shouldn't even be allowed on these forums.

[super-pede]

I just love holding my pedes.I can't build up the nerve to hold anythiing other than an avic or rosie when it comes to tarantulas though,but I will hold any scorp.Great vid.

 

[BrynWilliams]

nasty bite vid there draiman, how'd your arm feel after that?

Nice job holding it together while he was chewing on your arm

 

[JC]

I wouldn't do that Draimen. The native locals are terrified of that particular pede. Some are just stories, but still, I'd wait until more accidental bite reports before handling something like that and placing your life on two bite reports.

Yes.

Juan went into the woods, he stuck his hand into a hole in the ground, he got bit by a centipede, he died.

THE END.


Pedro was sleeping in a house out in the fields. He put on his shoes, and a centipede that was in his shoe bit him. He died.

THE END.


Manny was playing around with a big centipede, he got bit and the area became infected. Later on Manny died.

THE END.
