Hi, I recently got a centipede, it's a tanzanian blue leg centipede (Scolopendra Morsitans) and I was only able to find one helpful care guide. I was hoping that some of you could help me out with some information to increase my base of knowlege. I generally keep the cage at around 70-79 degrees and humidity at about 80.
I have another question about this species, or any centipede in general. Will this species leave its burrow when its hungry?
Anyways, that's quite interesting, if you could take a picture that would also be wonderful, I'm not a bug person myself but I can look at them through a computer screen where they can't touch me.

I can't really take a picture but I know there are lots of pics of morsitans centipedes, it's kind of a greyish-silvery color and fatter around middle.

I love to keep bugs as pets! I used to do it with grasshoppers and caterpillars when I was little.
Me too! When I was little I loved bugs. To this day I call snails "Philips" in memory of my pet snail from when I was 5. I dunno what changed, now that I'm older bugs freak me out. :< I wish they didn't, 'cause I still think they're rad as hell.
I also agree with Missingusername, simply find the nearest Community College and contact one of the professors of biology or entomology there. I can almost guarantee that you can find a bug expert there, just be persistent. Heck, even at a high school you can find one, my AP bio teacher in H.S. was a total bug freak and he gave me great advice on how to raise all sorts of bugs for feeding my baby snakes and toads.

I kept snails in a fish tank until they started multiplying out of control. The little egg pods were neat; they'd lay them against the glass and I could see the baby ones form inside the clear eggy blobs.

Don't worry people like to be silly.

I like that you didn't get scared until the second one.

Did you see the ending of the second one? WORST THING IMAGINABLE! It includes a centipede and a person. You can figure it out.
