I got a baby Lithobius forficatus!

Hey everyone! I just found a lithobius forficatus in my ''forrest jar'' and it's even less than a millimeter! I'm making an enclosure for the cute thing, when i'm done with that i'll update on this thread.

Enclosure for the first few weeks/months. Depends on how fast it grows. (Centipede on the right, you'll have to zoom in)

Well, the enclosure is indeed huge for a little centipede such size. Maybe he/she burrowed :-s

Kinda like a 100 gallon tank for a goldfish.

Thanks, but i lifted up a piece of wood in that forrest flask, dipped it in some water and i saw something wiggling around in there so i took it out asap.

Hopefully, but it was the smallest i have.

Update: i still haven't seen it walking around in it's enclosure, could it be dead? I also lifted up the rock, but it's nowhere to be found. Not even really Tiny holes in the substrate.
