Scolopendra enclosure

[Insectotron]

I haven't posted in here for a while, but I am wondering what should a tropical species of Scolopendra enclosure look like (in terms of decorations)? I'm thinking of getting a species.

Scolopendra species tend to burrow a lot and spend the majority of their lives underground and under logs. Decorations can be as simple as just a cork bark flat or a piece of driftwood and they will just hide under it or burrow tunnels in the substrate. There isn't much decorations to be had for a Scolopendra species since they're basically ground dwellers.

Thank you for your help

So, so, so wish it was illegal to feed live vertebrates in the states. What a slow painful death that would have been.

And that enclosure is far too small for that pede.

No it's not you can clearly see how much room it has and it has 6" of substrate to burrow in,

Your (beautiful) pede is as long as you enclosure is wide. And from the first pic the length isn't much either.

Pedes aren't tarantulas. They're extremely active and require room to move around in.
