Is my centipede dead or molting?

[t00thtak3r]

Hi so i got a centipede at the reptile expo about three days ago, he’s been fine and everything just hasn’t eaten since i’ve had him (he’s a sonoran desert centipede) i’ll share pics of his enclosure i’ve been misting him regularly and he doesn’t seem to have any micosis but i woke up this morning and he was hiding under his rock not moving. i moved him out from under gently and he still isn’t moving just sitting there upside down. i read a lot and it said he could just be molting but i’m not sure. is there anything i can do to help him?

Probably dead. Check again, but if it's not moving a couple hours later I can't imagine its a good sign. I've never kept this species...but if it's a desert species, why are you misting? Thats also a lot of empty space that could be utilized in that tank

he’s moved a little since then, and everywhere i’ve done research tells me they need to be misted now and then just to keep the enclosure moist.

i also just got him so i haven’t had the time to fill up his enclosure.
