Centipedes are incredible and terrifying creatures at any size. Some centipedes are impressively large. These giants are horrifying monsters, and I kind of love them. But is a giant centipede really a good pet? Is the giant centipede the best pet, um, leg monster for you? Let's find out!

As someone who keeps these, make sure there's more than ¾ of their body length in height between the top of the enclosure and the substrate and any possible cross-ventilation holes. When I transferred my first one into it's first homemade enclosure it immediately used the ventilation holes on one side to climb up high enough to reach the top of the enclosure and got out, all within a split second. In a leggy flash it was across the room and in my bed 😱, spent several terrified minutes carefully taking my bed apart trying to find it without getting "bit" when out of the corner my eye I see it walking across the floor on the other side of the room again. Was finally able to get it in the catch cup and into a different enclosure that while too small was too tall for it to get out. Was the absolute most terrifying experience of my life and earned the centipede the name Cthulhu.

The thing no one tells you about female centipedes is that a lot of them are actually really excellent mothers. Moms will use their body to create a nest for the eggs, and often the hatchlings, too, swaddling them to protect them from predators. Some even take this a step further and offer their own bodies as food for their babies.

@raylopez99 Жыл бұрын

I could be imagining things, but I swear centipedes are intelligent too. Here in Washington DC I had a common centipede of the US variety (and I've been to SE Asia where the bugs are bigger) come up to me while I was sleeping on the carpet as I like to do and take a bite out of me. I shoed it away. The next day the same thing, at the same time at night. And the third day. I felt a little sting. Like it figured out how to make a meal out of me every night at the same time, to steal a little food using my body. I love insects. I won't spoil the story and tell you what I did the fourth day since I was getting fed up with the insect antics, no pun intended. But I might make up for it by getting a centipede (or black widow, or preying mantis) as a pet...if my partner doesn't freak out.

My mother in law lives in one of these areas and is often troubled by mukades. I have made up some sprays that so far this season are repelling these creatures.

I considered getting one of these in the past. Then I saw on arachnid forums that many of the people who keep the more dangerous varieties of spiders and scorpions didn't want anything to do with them. At least one of them, after remarking how giant centipedes can chew through metal screens, said that if one ever escaped in their house they would either: A. Move out B. Burn it down for insurance, and move out C. Invite their in laws to stay over, then A and B above Plus, as far as I understand, they spend most of their time under the substrate, so you hardly see them. Oh, and if you have a pair and they breed, expect hundreds of babies.

"When it comes to availability, we give them a 3/5" That's surprising considering i unknowingly owned five of them in my farm, big enough to be the reason why i have no rodent problems. Jokes aside, I've always admired how powerful and fast these animals are. There's not a single insect from around here they cannot overpower, including some small reptiles too.

There is a nut called Coyote Peterson who basically seems to be making it his life's work to expand upon the Schmidt Sting pain index. He goes around getting stung by all kinds of venomous arachnids and rates the agony of each experience. Anyway, I've seen the guy take stings off of things like bullet ants and executioner wasps and mostly keep it together. That was until he did the giant centipede episode. Never seen him lose it like that for any other bite. He had to cut the camera and get out the venom extractor which is something he just does not do. He rated it the worst thing he has ever been hit by when it comes to the pain.

I love how delighted Clint looks when he's talking about all the biting and venom you can expect from a centipede. As someone who works in a place that sells all manner of creepy crawlies, I can definitely attest to how scary they are. Got crawled on by an escapee while I was feeding mantids in the same room, and it scared me way more than the many tarantulas I've been crawled on by. At least those things are less inclined to bite you so long as you relax while handling them. I've been at this work place for almost a year now but I still can't brave the centipedes lol.

Where I'm from we don't have any venomous creatures, so I find it interesting to learn about invertebrate predators like this. And I have heard stories about centipedes from someone in New Mexico who said you'll find these guys in places where there's water. People have been attacked by them, and even when cut in half, they still keep coming at you. God forbid one gets caught in your hair. Definitely on my Will Never Be A Pet list. I'd rather have a pet rock made of uranium ore, TBH. But behind a professionally kept glass, or on video, I could watch these guys for hours.

They had a little run around when I first got home with it, gave it a nice mealworm now they've took off to sleep underneath a log. I'm looking forward to owning this :)

I've rehoused and interacted up close with all of my 39 tarantulas and scorpions, but it's the lone scolopendra subspinipes I've had for a couple of years already that gets the sweat beading on my forehead. These things have the power, speed, and unpredictability to inspire apprehension in even the most seasoned invert keeper, and the asian species especially are of a sufficiently nervous disposition to make sure that when they twitch, you twitch. Do yourself a favour and avoid making physical contact with one of these, tweezer and hemostat handling will keep you and the centipede safe. If it doesn't take them from you, of course. Watching it barrel around the enclosure at night and rip into the feeder of your choice is something I wouldn't miss for the world though. I'll be sad to see mine go, and there will always be a centipede in my collection.
