I'm in Mx city. I think it may have come in the luggage of a friend that just went to Sinaloa, Mx. I really don't know about any centipedes native to Mx city and I have really no experience concerning centipedes. From what I can see, it's really slow. what shoud I do?

Thanks.

If it is really slow then it might be a millipede because centipedes are fast. If it has 2 pairs of legs per segment it is a millipede if it as one pair of legs per segment it is a centipede.

what I meant was more like...how do I keep it alive, I'm mostly sure that the climate in the city will kill it

yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a centipede, I'm assuming it's not liking the city very much.....it's rather cold
