It really depends what they looked like when they were alive. Their legs are sometimes curled and after awhile they get stiff. The trick is to eat them before the ants do.

Poke it, if it doesnt move then its probably passed away.

I think myns dead its curled up in a ball and iv poked it but it dosent do anything

 

[cjm1991]

Id get it out of the enclosure, dispose of it how you wish(I dare you to eat it ), and learn from your mistakes. How long did you have it for before it died?

 

[crpy]

[Scolopendra777]

Awe sorry to here my friend it sounds like the cent kicked the bucket always buy ones that are smaller but the same species raise them its a good way to studie them for fun.

 

[Scolopendra777]

I will always remember her she almost bit my dad lol
She was only my second pede.
anyway how long do pedes live for

 

[Scolopendra777]

Il Send a Pic of her tomorrow ok

 

[cjm1991]

Yeah you will learn as you get more pede's and inverts. How long they live depends on how old they are in the first place, stress a little bit, how often you feed them, and how you keep them in general. Im more than willing to help you if you need any more info on them or keeping them, I have had and currently have over 10 different species of all sizes and backgrounds so I have taken care of alot of different types
