[catfishrod69]

yep...and even after you get a job you probably wont find them, no matter how much money you have....do a search on here there is a thread on it....as far as next ones, im not sure...you can get a S. subspinipes vietnamese for about 20 bucks...they get 8-9"..i had one...and you mean T. blondi? they are supposed to be a pain to take care of and alot of people lose them during molting...i suggest a L. parahybana...they get up to 10" and are super easy to take care of....food and water bout it...

you should start out keeping the common and less expensive stuff to practice with before putting out some serious money. centipedes are not as easy to keep as you think, they can be very unpredictable.

pedes are very tuff though =/ though not as tuff AS Emp scorps

what do you mean by tough? Can you really make a statement like that only having one scorp. and a bunch of tarantulas? I honestly don't think you'd want a large pede once you try and move it from it's shipping container. Start out small, gain some experience.

 

[catfishrod69]

not positive but i took it as tougher to care for...

I wouldnt want to order a full grown Pede.. they can be crazy LOL id want a juvie. or smaller pede first.. even if its a jUvie of a larger species

 

[Steven Valys]

even a small pede can be off the wall. I needed new pants after receiving a 3-4 inch subspinipes. Totally different than tarantulas and scorpions.

If you had searched enough to find the care requirements to keep them, you'd have already found the answers to your size questions. It seems like you're a bit obsessed with size... I would concentrate on learning how to CARE for them first, and then decide if getting one is the right choice for you.
