Care foundations for the listed centipedes, including provisional trade-name animals. Centipedes are myriapods, not arachnids. Confirm the exact stock and life stage before selecting precise environmental targets.
Containment before display
House animals individually in securely closed, escape-resistant enclosures. Provide sheltered substrate appropriate for burrowing and enough clear space below the lid. Check ventilation openings and servicing access. Plan transfers with secure containers and tools; these are fast observation animals capable of painful bites, not handling pets.
Moisture and feeding
Retain a suitable hydrated refuge without saturating the enclosure. Arid-origin and humid-forest stocks need different balances; a shared genus does not establish one humidity target. Keep out of direct sun and control any supplemental heat. Offer appropriately sized insect prey, remove remains and uneaten feeders, and minimize disturbance around a possible molt.
Keeper questions
Can I use one numerical care recipe for all these centipedes?
No. Ask for the current temperature, moisture, substrate and life-stage details for the exact listing. Trade labels do not validate species-specific numbers.
Should I dig out a centipede that stopped eating?
Avoid unnecessary disturbance. Check conditions, security and possible molting before offering additional prey.
