*** VERY COLORFUL AND CONTRASTING CENTIPEDE !

• Tropic species. Keep warm and humid with swallow, but wide water dish. Mist 1-2 times a week and change water whenever fouled or at least once a week.
• Caging: Keep in tight-fitting, plastic storage boxes or similar caging. Do NOT use nylon screen top fish tanks. They can bite through the screen. Provide dark shelter. 2"-3" slightly moist substrate.
• Average imported size: 3"-6". Maximum size: reports of 9" individuals have been heard.
• Coloration: Rich, mahogany red body with thin, black body bands, red legs with pale green on the tips of the legs.
• Feeding: Fed at least once a week to maintain them successfully, but to grow them fatter/bigger, feed twice a week med. to adult crickets, roaches and for bigger centipedes, pinkies, rat pulps or anolis lizards.
