although an insignificant find to all of you 1 foot pede keepers, i found myself a tiny 30mm Cryptops hortensis, a widespread yet rare British scolopendromorph. anyone got tips for keeping these? would they be kept in a similar fashion to any other pedes?
theres alot of moisture in the tub im keeping him in, theres like condensation forming at the bottom of the container, could this prove harmful to it? im a centipede noob, sorry!:?

Virtually identical to most 'pedes, except heat is less of a concern. I've found these in moist, rotting logs at different stages in the season, although moreso in moderate temps(low 60s F). When I had one, I fed it things from places that mirrored its' original home: slug eggs, small grubs, baby termites, baby isopods, maggots, etc.
