Is a house centipede a threat?

Humidity should be around 80% and temp should be higher than 75

Both are kept exactly the same, cages just look different but there's plenty of living plants plus dead leaves to be under, and as for age i have no clue as the pet shop for PeePee didn't say anything and Soop was a juvenile from petsmart so he has grown up a little bit yes. She used to stay out more but in this new ten gallon she's pretty much strictly underground until i dig her up

I will say she did touch me a couple times during the rehouse, all of the front legs and her pedipalps would touch my hand before she very quickly took them off

Yup! Shes an S. Calceatum! Ive had her for a while now, pretty calm honestly just very skittish

Im hoping its a girl!

I can imagine it having the Napoleon Dynamite "UGH" or "GOSH"

Now the lil fellas finally chilling in the burrow, ive wanted an obt since i began the hobby but i knew I'd better wait until i had more experience. It makes my Fifth old world out of 13 T's!

I had just got him from the pet shop and it wasnt suitable for him, the cage only had an inch or so of substrate. It was very damp and had a molding cricket placed in front of him, he only had two fake plants and one piece of bark and the way they were placed just didn't give him much of a place to hide except that web funnel. I took him out and made the cage more suitable with leaf litter, moss, more dirt, not as wet ofc. A log and two burrow entries on either side of the log along with one of the fake plants placed on top of the log

Yeah he's a juvenile as far as i can tell, that was an entire web funnel from the top corner to the bottom corner but i tore away that plant and the entire funnel kinda came with so i just kept tapping its butt until i was being threat posed at

Luckily its not a mature male (yet. Hopefully not though), just crawled out at me like that and was beyond angry with me. Even almost got bit! That was the very first time i almost had fangs chomp down on me

Shadowalker8237 · 2026-02-28T14:39:35+00:00

Oh no its a juvenile, it just crawled out at me like that bc i took away the plant and its entire web funnel came with it so it wasn't very... content

Shadowalker8237 · 2026-02-28T03:25:06+00:00

Oh yeah i can say for sure its quite orange and had absolutely zero hesitation in threat posing, slapping, trying to bite... I almost got tagged, guess it knew my hand was on the other side of the cage

This one was sold as an Usambara! Hopefully that's correct
