Hey all you pede keepers..
I was heavily into centipedes about 2 years ago and I had about 10 specimens in addition to my spiders and scorps - I had Vietnamese and Malaysian pedes and I had some big beautiful specimens.I ended up selling all my pedes as my girlfriend at the time was really freaked out about them and I myself began having second thoughts about them - I sort of had this gut feeling that sooner or later I was going to get nailed by a big Viet or something as they were so much faster and unpredictable than a tarantula.I do not even sweat my spiders at all but I must admit that I have trepidation about centipedes but at the same time I am itching to have a big Scolopendra again.What do you guys and gals think? those of you who have large collections of the dangerous Scolopendra like S.subspinipes....do you ever get nervous about them? I love the darn things but I am leery of them too..I used to lay awake at night listening to them scratching their fangs on the side of their enclosures...it was a tad unnerving...I am trying to get the balls to get one again....just ONE to satisfy and scratch this darn itch I got...see, here I am poking around on the Myriopods forum again...heheheeheheh
What do you think??????
