Mine only ever burrow, so I haven't seen need to decorate. If I had an S. gigantea, I'd probably decorate with branches and stuff because I've heard they like to climb.

Here are some terrs I keep stuff in. For babies, I use a smaller containers til they get 3 or 4 inches. That's just me though. Any decorations are mostly for me. If it helps them out somehow, that's good too.

Nice enclosures todd. Looks like you use both wood and rock for hiding places, which is best?

Hello! There is a female A. moderatum in that one. Going for a sac next year:drool: . She's really moved allot of dirt and is really camped in for the winter.

Hey Tim, I usually see and find heros sp around rocky areas. I don't really know what's best but that's where I usually see them so I like to use flat rocks for S. heros sp. when I put them in terrs. Some people worry about bad mites in wood but I think I've taken care of that prob.

Scolopendra subspinepes 'vietnam' , Scolopendra subspinepes 'Tiger-leg'




Im hopiong to nuke soome of the local moss, as its very bushy, and would be brilliant for them to hide under, so some alterations will come

That tigerlegs is beautiful! Mine is about 4", so it's pretty small. Yours must be a lot bigger as it has rich coloration on its legs.

I'd be interested to see the people who keep TONS of centipedes rooms... My own collection is growing a lot and i'd like to see how you guys actually optimize your space...

And you guys are just using simple spanish moss, or what? I was thinking about putting some moss in my enclosures when I first got mine.

the moss is very la very lush green around my area.
Its mainly to help my tiger-leg feel a bit more comfortable..its not really settled in yet, and he hasnt got a particularly decent hide atm.
It will aslo help keep humidity..which is good:)
