Hi,
So I just began getting into the hobby and can’t find too much info on the medical significance of (Asian, American etc) giant centipede bites. From this forum I know they cause extreme pain and possibly other symptoms. But I can’t find any information on hospital visits or severe medical complications caused by these pedes. I don’t plan to handle my centipedes, but I’m going to move to an apartment in California next year and am uncomfortable having to explain to a landlord “yes, some of my animals are medically significant. But I have no idea if they’ll cause serious complications or not!” I would like to keep giant centipedes, but don’t want to purchase them and then have to get rid of them in a year. So any info on the symptoms of the bites from these guys would be helpful.
I also can’t find much on the legality of giant centipedes in California. Does anyone know where I could find that?
thank you!
