     Centipedes are not pets to be handled, rather they are a visual pets enjoyed for their interesting appearance and behaviors.

     Centipedes are unlike most invertebrate pets being kept in captivity. They are similar to mildly venomous snakes. They should be kept similarly to venomous snakes with a secure enclosure system. Once they are established in a secure enclosure and once some experience is gained in their care and daily husbandry, centipedes can provide hours of fascination.

Centipedes are a most intriguing pet for an advanced hobbyist!
