Here's a few shots of my beast, aka "Fang".
I just received a thermo/hygrometer and as I suspected the humidity was around 90%, I think it should be around 70% right?
I've left the lid off the container again while I'm at work.

Hi All
Just wanted to let you know that "FANG" died. I put some moss in the enclosure and I think it made it too wet/humid as the hygrometer was always on 90%. I thought this was okay but as I found out it isn't. Fang started hiding out all the time and I guess that should have been a sign that it wasn't happy. I got rid of the moss about a week ago and Fang came out again. It then started doing really weird stuff like it's antennae were all shaking strangley like it couldn't focus and then Fang went in to some spasms/convulsions and after about 12 hours of it died. I'll have to get an normal pede like Vietnamese Giant and hope that it doesn't happen again. Any advice where I went wrong please?

HATED when centipedes die... they are so sensitive to the atmosphere. but I always love looking at pics of hardwicki! Are they made of Halloween candy?
