Hello Board, nice to read you. I have been gifted a centipede from a friend, and wanted to know what kind of species I got. From what I have foudn on the web, it looks like a Scolopendra dehaani, but I am not 100% sure. I setup a small enclosure, with substrate to dig around in, and some other stuff to make it look nice.
I would like feedback of the setup. The animal has not eaten in the two weeks since I got it. My friend said it was eating anything he would give him before.
It is super active though, digging around, doing all kinds of centipede stuff and seemingly enjoying all the spots in the terra.
I tried offering live locust and live roaches, with tweezers, also prekilled insects, in ll instances, the centipede would go crazy and flee instead of attacking right away, like you can see in so many videos.
Sorry for wall of text, here are some pictures:
