I have an African long tail centipede that's about 8.89 cm long. I put it in a small tub that used to be kept for honey. The tub isn't very big though and I'm afraid it might be a bit small. Plus the fact that I have no idea how big it can get. Can you guys please help me? It's my first time caring for an animal like this...

If that's Rhysida longipes, you can expect it to stay around that size, although I've seen a few get a little larger. As long as it has enough substrate to bury itself, as these are normally very shy.
