r/centipedes

It got taken down in the absolute units subreddit… but I couldn’t help posting about how cool this is. This is at the Houston Zoo!

I’ve been seeing these types of centipedes more often this week than usual, and I was wondering what species they could be? I was able to move the first one I found (a bit bigger than this little guy, maybe about half an inch-to an inch?), but this one ran off before I could move him unfortunately. Apologies if the photos are a bit blurred, they were scurrying off pretty fast.

About to pop.
What’s your guess for how much they’ll grow after they molt?

I caught him a few months ago in my house. Im living in Manila Ph. What species is this? Thanks

I haven't id'd it yet.

I caught this specimen while cleaning my garage and relocating a bunch of unused dirt and hollow block bricks. I don't know what species he or she belongs to. Google lens doesn't help cuz it gives me different answers everytime lol. I caught him in the philippines.

Hello, I am new to centipede keeping and wanted to hear advice from the amazing keepers here if theres anything I could I change for my centipede. I have bought a scolopendra polymorpha (Tiger Centipede) a few days ago and have done a fair share of research on these guys. My substrate is mostly sand mixed with a little bit of top soil, and I try to keep it dry inside but other resources say humidity needs to 70% through 80%, I am unsure how true this. I really wanna give my first centipede a good life so any help or advice to change for my enclosure would be lovely :]
