Hello. I am someone who is just getting into centipedes, and I would much appreciate advise for starting out. I have read many other threads, and am aware that there is not such thing as a beginner centipede. I simply have a few questions. I am very young, and do not have a lot of money. I don't think I will be buying any types of exotic centipedes soon. I am thinking of starting out with just some common house/garden centipedes. Here is where the questions begin. Would it be alright for me to simply catch any old centipede out there, or should I go and purchase one from the store? Where should I get food for a centipede? Can centipedes is the same kind of meat that human's eat? Can I simply gather flies and crickets from the outdoors, or would it be better to purchase the food from a pet store? What would you say the monthly expenses would be for keeping a small centipede? (Do not include the cost of the centipede or the centipede's home.)
