today i found my scolopendra supspinipes mutilans out of its hide and on the other side of the tank. i took my forceps and nudged it. the terminal legs responded and the head kind of twitched. i led it over to the water and got its head in there. i couldnt tell if it was drinking or not but it was very weak and not very defensive. i created a tarantula style icu with the paper towels and the water dish. when i was moving my dear centipede into the icu it curled its back legs but not the front. i put her in the icu and again led her head in the water. then i poked her back legs until they snapped out of the "death curl". she is now just sitting there. i think it is a problem with dehydration because only the back legs curled and she still maintained hydrolic pressure in the front.
any suggestions will be much appreciated.
thanks,
Dan
