hey everyone im new to centipedes. i find them in my back yard and watch them for a while before i let them go but i would like to be able to keep one.
i was wondering if i could keep one of these that i find in my yard or if thats a bad idea. if its a bad idea to keep one from my yard what would be a good first one to buy?
the ones in my yard are about 2 inches long. what would i feed a 2 inch centipede? would normal crickets be too big for it?
i was thinking i would get like a 1/2 gallon glass jug or a 1 gallon glass jug and fill it like half way up with bed-a-beast and some bark pieces and leaves on top of that.
how hot do they need to be kept at and what humidity?
will a piece of window screen rubber banded over the top of the jug hold it in?
sorry if these are dumb questions. if you all think this is a horrible idea let me know and i wont do it.
thanks for any help and advice.
