Lost centipede

[CreepTumorXD]

This reminds me of a Buckethead song.
"Spot the Psycho, spot the psycho, he's over here, he's over there, he's in your ez chair"


In a couch, under a rug, in a bed, under a sink, behind a toilet, in some dirty clothes, near a heater, under a pile of books, under a shelving unit, seriously anywhere dark and crevice like, humid spots.

I had mine jet up my hemostats during a rehousing (bathtubs ftw) and over the edge of the enclosure, to under the bed and out of sight for a few minutes. He ended up being under a couch cushion.
This is actually a big fear of mine, having one escape while not under my supervision, I'd have to burn the house down.

What species of monster is loose and for how long?

Scolopendra Polymorpha 3" could have been a week ago, could have been a day ago :I of course its hypothetical..

Ok, that's not so bad (venom wise). We have those guys running around here in AZ. Pretty much that little guy could be anywhere, hypothetically.

Do you have any cats? Mine have helped me find intruders and escaped dubias just by watching them be the curious predators they are.

 

[CreepTumorXD]

my roommate has a retarted dog if that helps, but I dont think he would run around in broad daylight hypothetically

 

[shining]

Nope, no help from the canine unless, like you said your pede runs out in broad day light.

My only advice now is, tear the place apart. I've read that most times you'll never see them again.

Sorry it happened, hopefully he turns up and you've learned something from this experience.

Dude, just stop adding hypothetically and such and take this seriously. Listen to shining, and ask members like @Mastigoproctus and @42LegAPede

I feel insulted Hypothetically..

Eh eh eh, search, search, and search. Don't surrender. They are the ultimate escape "Houdini" masters. T's, "you" say?
T's are nothing, in that sense, if compared to Centipedes. That's why a 101% escape proof enclosure is always suggested.

T's are a joke (sorry to say but facts are facts) compared to Centipedes. Good luck man if a scenario like that happens.

 

[Blackout14]

This is why I haven't bought one they scare the bejebus out of me and although very cool not confident in my ability to keep it contained right now

 

[CreepTumorXD]

Its hypothetically my fault

 

[Chris LXXIX]

Don't.

 

[Chris LXXIX]

I mean, don't. People keep talking here on this site as T's as the ultimate "escape masters". Seriously, lol?
Muahahahahah, how many Centipedes they had?

I can guarantee you that Theraphosidae, if parameters (temp/humidity/environment set up/wt.) are fine, a Theraphosidae doesn't feel exactly the need to jump out of her enclosure (let's not count here on that MM climbing/searching for poontang) while Centipedes, the ultimate badass, move even cork bark for climb. Yeah, they aren't able to climb smooth surfaces, but i don't envy those who keep those beasts in KK's. If the head pass, so the body lol.

I have a S.subspinipes, and a P.murinus is a joke, compared.

It will likely desiccate before too long.

Its a desert Sp. native to my climate.

Yeah, but even the Centipedes from dry lands require slightly moist substrate. They are different, on that sense, like 'GBB', 'Rose hairs' 'OBTs' etc you can't keep, for instance, a S.heros on completely bone dry substrate... i mean, i wouldn't, definitely.

What say you all if a Malaysian jewel jumped ship and ended up (suspected but not sure) in my wall behind my stove.

 

[Brewser]

A Stethoscope may be useful in listening for the pitter patter of pedes behind the wall.
Gonna be a challenging rescue/recapture for sure.
Maybe it will make an appearance some Quiet Night.
Keep Vigilant.
Best Regards and Much Luck,

Good luck.

The only thing I would try is a bucket trap like used in field surveys. Use some wet cat food and a couple crickets. Escaped centipedes are incredibly hard to find. And fast even if you are lucky enough to see them out.
