Hi Folks !
1st of all i have to say Hello to all of you as i'm a really greenhorn (for centipedes only as i'm keeping tarantulas for more than 13 years) in this Forum !
I got my 1st centipede (S. morsitans) 2 weeks ago together with a baby-centipede of S. subspinipes Red Malaysian tiger (thanks to Sören !).
As you may know it's the same problem with the centipedes as with the tarantulas - it's simply not possible for such "miserable" character like me to be satisfied with only one species....
So i'm looking forward for a S. heros heros or S. heros castaneiceps on the next dealer show (this sunday) in Austria.
As i know that these 2 species are origined in Arizona resp. in Texas (?) i guess, that they would need not the same conditions (temperature, humidity) than other centipedes like the asian species !?
Therefore need you help/experience in these species like if it's better to mix some sand in the ground too or should i keep the ground only more dry ?
I would be very grateful for ANY information/experience you can give me for these species - Thanks !
(Sorry for my poor English...)
