i got a Tanzanian Yellowleg (Ethmostigmus trigonopodus) (4-5 inches) & Vietnamese (Scolopendra subspinipes "Mau Chai") (5-6 inches). Just kinda curious as to how i should keep them. I was thinking about using topsoil/peat moss as a substrate since i have a bunch lying around. Was curious as to what kinda humidity and temperature i should have.
my first centipedes

humid and relatively warm, at least for the s. subspinipes
Hi,
I have my E.trigonopodus on just peat moss. my cage setup is a 10gal.tank
with a old herpatat dome thay dont make any more. it keeps humidity up
around 75 to 85% with it on. low air movement. She is with her second
clutch of babies in six months. She seams to hang out in the dryer part of
tank with young.
MY ''Mau Chai's'' 4 of them are on coconut fiber and doing fine.
A mix of peat and potting soil would be fine.
