I.D. and questions

Hello,

So, I recently happened upon taking care of a Centipede because of my parents (not that I mind at all) for a little context I own a female curly hair tarantula and love having it next to me while I work. I have never seen a Centipede this big in my life in person outside of a zoo exhibit or something. The Centipede is about 7 inches long (only an estimate) I wouldn't say I'm scared of it per-say, but I have zero intention of handling what was at one point a wild Centipede.

So while I know at least a little bit about the spider but with the Centipede I need some pointers. Primarily if anyone could help confidently identify what type it is. I could do the research and stuff but secondarily if anyone had any tips or unusual bits of information that would help me to take better care of this guy that would be great.

Thank you!
