Is my centipede Okay ?

[KristianDobias]

Hello Everyone I know it may look like I post a lot but I need your help kind off

So on 4th January I found what I believe to be young Lithobius forficatus in my apartment, it's winter outside and I've been fascinatined with centipedes for quite a while so I decided it would be a good entrance for me to centipede keeping/husbandry so I imideatly researched the species and provided it the right enclousures (which you can see on the second picture), and the right conditions (dewing every day to keep the right moisture)
I gave it dead fly larva on 5th January, I didn't saw it eating it but it dissapeared the next day so Iam 99% sure he/she ate it, I provided dead piece of mealworm in the Wenseday or Thursday (not really sure sorry) but it didn't ate it so I took it out the next day
I ussualy saw the centipede when I dewed the enclousure but in Friday, Saturday and Sunday I stopped seeing it at all I taught it is molting but Iam not really sure, I gave it another dead fly larva on Sunday in case it would be hungry but it didn't ate it so I took it out today
I also today saw the centipede again walking when I was about to dew the enclousure, he/she was looking a bit different so maybe it is pre-molt (it's exoskelet is looking shinier than ussual, it's movements were also a bit slower or it looks so) or freshly after molt but in that case it would be white and it wasn't

Iam just a bit worried about it not eating so long

Is it just pre-molt or something else ?
(First picture is the centipede when I caught it on 4th January and the second picture is her/his enclousure)

Probably pre-molt.

Probably pre-molt.

Oh Okay
Thank You Very Much ^ ^

Can I ask do you have any pre-molt and post -molt tips for this species or not ?

And also can I ask how do I know it molted ?

Just don’t feed it live pray so it gets stressed out while in premolt. If you are unsure you can leave some pre killed food in there to se if it gets eaten. Just remove it before you get mold or mites eating the uneaten food. After a molt they will look shiny and have brighter color, almost like they look brand new. But with smaller centipedes it is less obvious than with the larger ones, in my experience anyways

Don't worry I feed her/him only pre-kills (every Sunday I give her/him some pre-killed food as it's too small for living prey and then remove it the next day if it doesn't get eaten)

Well it has also created some tunnels underground is it just normal behaviour for Lithobius forficatus or is it part of pre-molt ?

Never forget its wild caught. Could have internal parasites or eaten something toxic.

wild caught inverts dont have same longevity. Even if they can survive long, you never know whats inside of them.

just keep that in mind. That way if something happens, you dont beat yourself over it.

Hello Everyone
Thank Youuuu Very Much for your help ^ ^
My Lithobius cf. forficatus seems to be Okay it ate again and it also probably molted (I didn't found a molt but it could have molted underground I also counted the segments and it seems to have more of them not to mention it looks lighter in colour)
