Scutigera coleoptrata
I remember these guys running around in my ancient highschool which is now a historic building, recently my significant other shriekd for me to get one of my bug jars, (an old betta cup) and come in the bathroom where I was greeted by one of these intresting fellows.
now, I have kept normal centipedes and am used to the OMGFOODEATITNOW! response, and the touchy responses when proded, this guy however, just, sits.
I have done some research on them and decided to try termites as a staple food, and have been eagerly awaiting a feeding response, (since they are one of the few pedes with highly developed vision)
Suggestions?
Its currently kept in a small deli container (is under 1inch leg span.) with torn paper towel, slightly moistend, to mimic the area it was found in (bathroom under the sink) it was offered a fly, a dead dricket a dead fly, and now live termites.
