    You should consider adding toy soldiers, miniature buildings, toy cars etc to some of your enclosures to give the appearance of a monster movie with giant insects roaming about.

    It's always fascinating to see how precise the coordination of those "legs" is. Image how much work is needed to create a centipede robotic capable of walking FAST like this specimen. The neurology is absolutely stunning, given how prehistoric & "simple" (as some people think of such kind of arthropods) they are.

    Wonderful job on the enclosure, looks fantastic. Something that always blows my mind about these centipedes is how strong they are. It's amazing how they can just run down and overpower their prey. It's also really cool seeing how they lay one anttenae on the ground to pick up vibrations and stick one in the air to measure air current.

    I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!! You need a bigger work table.You need a bigger beastie room and I'll bet you need more shelves too! That is one very beautiful habitat. Lady centipede expresses her enjoyment thru her antennae. Curling and wiggling. At least you now know she really likes that piece of wood. It seemed she licked it in a couple of spaces and left it wet. You have given her active enrichment in her new condo. "Centi-vision" in living color!

      Good thinking, some traces of pesticides creates infertility or years of suffering.(Same as feeding non organically fed prey.)

  • @bernieshort6311
    @bernieshort6311 2 года назад +3

    That was an impressive move Dave and to be honest, it went very smoothly. When you tried to catch her first, the strength and aggression she showed, I didn't think you were going to hold her in the catch cup, I thought she was going to evade capture, but as always, you seemed to have it fully under control and it went very smoothly indeed. Thanks for sharing, I am not so afraid of them as I am the spiders, I know they run along like a thunderous train but then you wouldn’t get me that close to have to worry ha ha. Job well done. I also think it was nice of you to feed her, it settled her down easily. The enclosure looks ace.

    I thought of this centipede while watching another video. It's someone who does resin and sculpted diaramas. In this particular episode, they created a giant centipede making its way into a swimming pool with a unsuspecting person in it. As soon as they finished painting the model of the centipede, I said "Oh, that looks like the one Dave just got!" 😄

    This is CLOSE to beating out the fishing spider enclosure as my favorite! Absolutely stunning!!!!
    I’ve noticed that it seems like keepers in the UK are a bit more open to creating and using more natural style enclosures, while a lot of people here in the states seem to shy away from that, more. I don’t know why that is. That’s why I always tell people you can watch all the videos you want in particular species husbandry, etc. but that in the end, everyone does things differently and in their own way.
