thanks for the advice:worship: this is my first one and i guess i am learning as i go. it was an impulse buy. went to buy a mouse for my snake and left with a centipede. in your pictures there are a couple of a large centipede eating a mouse. do you kill them first? mice just seem easy for the large ones. i hate picking out cricket legs from her cage. trish is 9" long and and has been eating a mouse a week. any opinions?danread said:Don't feed live mice!
When i do feed mice, they are always prekilled, i buy them frozen for my snakes. I don't think it is a good idea to feed mice too reguarly, centipedes have evolved to eat mostly other invertebrates and a diet with too much meat might do them harm. The only time i feed mice is after one of my large pedes has moulted, as they often need a large meal to fully recover.brento said:
