I was going to edit the previous post but to make it new after web's post, I'll just post again. I saw the envelope with the plastic peel protecting the adhesive and realized it might be a good light blocker. So I used the adhesive side to stick on to the glass, along with tape to help make it flush so that it would keep more light away from the centipede. The tape can be peeled back, lift the envelop to take a peek, why not just use cardboard though. If the light isn't blocked, the pede will place dirt over the "window", these are extremely light sensitive ime. This female has a low profile chamber atm, that usually means a dormant period or a molt, or a dormant period followed by a molt. Egg laying chambers have much more height, and are generally oval. So at the moment, I don't think this one has prepared an egg laying chamber.

Yip, that's something I have thought about too, I'm not going anywhere, unless I leave on a tiny boat with everything hidden in the hull somewhere, attacked by modern day pirates. Florida sounds pretty good though. I like the land in California but, the politics there seem too cRaZy for me, and sounds like it's getting worse. $100,000 fine for, what was it, watering your yard when you're not supposed to?, or was it your car, ...or not picking up dog poop?, crazy stuff on the radio that I never looked into. Makes me want to grow galapagoensis babies up and throw them at the politicians at the rallies haha.

Yeah here's something about that Cali regs, but note this is from Alex Jones, best to find the true origin, Alex exaggerates like crazy about things. http://theintelhub.com/2012/11/13/san-diego-residents-face-6-years-in-prison-for-washing-their-car/

I still need to call you about making some more with the lady that you do have. Sorry:8o

Since you have better access to Strigamia, it would be neat to see how the communal experiment goes in two different settings...hmmm?

As far as the HI laws...last time I checked with HI Dept. of Ag. it was OK to capture non-native centipedes and remove them from the islands...worth a double check since it's been a couple of years. Good looking supspinipes & (Par)otostigmus to be had!
