Hi there, I've always been really interested in centipedes, when I was younger I would catch and keep the local ones, which are only an inch or two long here in NY, and I love seeing the giants on display. What I was wondering is what is the average and maximum lifespan of a large Scolopendra, and how long do they take to reach maturity? Is there a lot of variation between species? I'd really like to keep one, but I'd like an animal that will be around for more than a year or two, and I have no idea how their lifespans conpare to arachnids and insects.
