Hey there, i'm not too much on centipedes, I'm more of a milli guy myself. But I believe that the enclosures should be the same (Millis and centis)
So I wouldn't think that the centipede you're talking about should need any other special care, just as long as you keep the substrate moist you shouldn't even need a humidity
gauge, just keep it moist. As for temperature I have no idea, I know millipedes keep at room temperature fine, but I'm not sure about centipedes. I think they do too.
I've seen people keep centipedes in crazy enclosures really complex, all the way to a simple really big glass jar filled with terra root and coco fiber.
I hope I was able to help a little, no one seemed to reply so I thought i'd jump in there.

a small water dish, 1.5-2" of substrate, a slate for hiding, moist substrate (not wet), and temperature ranges somewhere between 75-85 F would be perfect.

Oh, I got all excited hoping that someone might have a female but I see you're from Russia. Shucks. Kyuzo's advice on these is good...they definitely appreciate higher humidity than any other centipede I've kept and will reward you with extensive tunneling when you get it right.
