Nice how big is yours I imagine they get huge ? Do they live a long time, I tried looking them up and didn’t find much info.

Franky is about 8-10cm but she will grow to 20-25cm so yeah they get pretty large mate. It is the largest species of centipede in Australia. Care guides usually state 3-5 year lifespan for this particular centipede but I reckon they’ll live (from birth till death) 10+ years so I expect to have Franky for about 7-10 years from now as she’s still a juvenile.
