Giant Vietnamese Centipede

North Highlands CA

Description

Looking to rehome my beautiful giant Vietnamese centipede (Scolopendra Subspinipes). Stays hidden most of the time, but always eats great, much more active at night. Unsure of exact age but she's big (9"+/-). Only handled a couple times when changing substrate, though I would strongly advise against it. They are venomous, have one of the most painful bites in the invertebrate kingdom and are extremely fast. Some species are relatively harmless. This is not one of them. She really needs a bigger enclosure. 10gal tank would be perfect. Needs to be secure, no wire mesh or cheap plastic, they'll chew right through it and inspect every inch of the enclosure looking for an escape. Super easy to care for. Keep humid/semi-damp environment, temps 71 - 86°, I used a UTH if temps dropped under 70. Feed weekly. Rehoming because I don't have the time or space I'd like to tend to her properly. Note: not actually sexed, just referring to as "she". Small rehome fee of 40. I can be reached at NineOneSix-990-7575
