Scolopendra galapagoensis husbandry

[Taffy]

What is the most agreed upon substrate for S. galapagoensis? The below pictures are what i have my S. gapapagoensis on, does it look good?

oh this is off topic but this individual is barely at 9 inches true body length. photos make him appear larger than he truly is.

When I had my male, I kept him on a mix of coco fiber and sand kept slightly moist. What you have here looks fine to me, just make sure he/she’s got a nice sized water dish

No I have her about a month was just too lazy to take pictures and she also live very hidden, certainly because everything is new.
Recently I have the Terra rebuilt and cleaned and thought that would be a good opportunity.

She is much more aggressive or nervous than my orange form.
but still a lovely beast

really? my orange form is a demon, and my black form is just a gentle angel

I hope that still lays down, the orange I can touch it is also very often during the day outside and disturbs nothing. The black one reacts very nervously and is quickly pissed. Tomorrow I try him with chicken to bribe

Coco fiber if not prepped right can be very unhealthy for pedes.
