What kind of conditions are you keeping it under (temperature, humidity, moisture, substrate, etc.)?

temperature is room temperature
the KK has tape over the majority of the holes on top, and I mist it well once a week
there is a 1.25 oz cup (w/ small rocks) for water, which I fill once a week
substrate is just a very thin layer of peat moss
it spends most of its time on vertical cork bark

Does anyone know what temperatures these things prefer?  Ever since one of my baby Thereuopoda got a fungal infection and died, I keep all my scutigeromorphs on the dry side (but at high humidity).  All are currently at my house temperature, which is probably between 75-80 F.

Hello Celeste and All,
I am not expert, but I would say they like it in the low 70s and high humidity and good ventilation.

Jacob, why don't we try mating your house centi with one of the locals????

By the way Celeste if you find more of them I would like to adopt like 4 more.

thanks

francisco

I am 99.99999% sure this isn't S. coleoptrata...


btw, the 2 smaller ones from Celeste died pretty early on but the larger 2 are doing great. they are VERY comfortable living communally; the smaller one was even able to molt right next to the big one.

Do you mean the house centipedes?  Because I have three small ones currently I could give you.  I haven't seen too many lately.  Saw a lot of them in March and April, but they are becoming scarce now.
