5 Vietnamese Centipede Facts & Care Tips | Pet Tarantulas

Well clearly he knows what he's talking about since he called it an arachnid.

[@ninjavibez4696]

First thing I thought at the conclusion of this...

[@kioku119]

Well if nothing else centipedes and arachnids are both arthropods.. maybe that's what he was thinking of ... I don't know ; pppp

[@insertcrudenamehere6341]

Yes he is much qualified

[@anastasiaferreira-harringt1799]

This guy is a clown. Centipedes are great pets that can be handled and socialized. They are NOT viscious killers that this guys makes them out to be.

[@Plasticninja_]

@@anastasiaferreira-harringt1799 Ah the rare double moron scenario.

[@AcanLord]

Myriapods are not arachnids. they are their own distinct group separate from Chelicerates and crustaceans.

[@saulgoodalvarez]

Neeeeeeeerd

[@weenomatic6137]

Wrong

[@AcanLord]

elliott Garcia what are you saying is wrong?

[@MiguelDiaz4469]

Arthropods is the correct description.

[@AcanLord]

Yes. if not a bit vague.

[@guzotak]

I found one on some rocks at the beach at night this summer. It was eating a large black clam, and half of its body was coiled up inside it, and you could actually hear very strange sounds coming from the inside as the clam was getting devoured. Truly a sight to behold.

[@killshot13000]

I'm just going to cross off the beach for my next vacation spot:)

[@guzotak]

It was actually good news, because I was with a girl. Creeped her out, got her into a cuddly mood. :)

[@michawyszynski6372]

Out of curiosity in what country was this beach?

[@slashbash1347]

You'll handle a scorpion like you don't even care, but even you don't want to touch a centipede. That's how nasty their bites are.

[@imvuparadise7479]

scorpions bites are nothing compared to a centipede a tarantula bite wont send you to the er a centipede will

[@chickenstrangler3826]

Also they are way more likely to bite you. (Is their venom really that bad? I thought it was equivalent to a bee sting)

[@slashbash1347]

Chicken Strangler From what I've read, centipede bites make wasp stings look like little bitches.

[@DefOfDopeProductions]

Imvu Paradise not entirely true. Gotta know your species. Plenty of scorpions and tarantulas will hospitalize you.

[@tylermcneill4110]

Cheo Samad tarantulas no. Scorpions yes. Been tagged by some nasty old world T's and a few species of scorps including androctonus sp. luckily none to ER, but I still am way too cautious to let my centipede get me. I'll take another morrocan cat tail sting before I let that happen

[@warglow]

The notion of them are that they are friendly....:D Who thinks like that? I have considered them to be unfriendly since the first time i have seen them.

[@Kruziik]

Some people get them confused with millipedes, or just don't know what it is and might not think they are that bad

[@warglow]

Ok, now i get it. But how can one confuse those species? They are very different. Milipedes doesnt look like centipedes.

[@liltrue8420]

G Man are house pedes dangerous because I seen one the other month...

[@anastasiaferreira-harringt1799]

They are actually docile. This guy in the video is a clown. I have experience with wild caught centipedes, they are great creatures. All of them are docile and given the chance, make great pets.

+Tyrannosuperior there are many people love Centipedes in South-East Asian, on the other hand, people are more afraid to Tarantula which has a lower venom and less painful bite than Centipedes

did he call it a 'novelty item'? i think not, it is a LIVING thing, not just an item

Did he just call it an arachnid at the end? its not an arachnid, its a myriapod.

[@reignofinvertebrates9083]

That is correct. I myself as a child (being uninformed) did once consider them arachnids though. Chilopoda (centipede class) could be thought of this way because of their exotic appearance, or their possession of venom.

[@dungly8311]

These are cool guys.... I'm in Vietnam and there are bunches of them..... I kept ten as pet( the large one)

[@HeliosLeon]

This care video didn't help.... does anyone know the care for these guys? Like how much humidity, temps and how much or often I feed?

[@chris-andrebrissett5208]

Well from what i seen most just feed them for a day. I had bark centipedes amd they like worms so i make sure that the substrate is full of em and they'll eat them as the days pass them i refill. But this species its most likely once a day and compared to the bark, these are extremely aggressive.

[@_Stalc_]

I always find the babies under rocks and wood. Babies are harmless they are pretty skidish and just want to find cover from the sun. Pretty cute things when they aren't 6 inches long.

Scolopendra heros or scolopendra polymorpha IMO.

I got bit by one I found under a rock as a kid. I'm pretty sure I have a phobia of them now because of that. I was a kid but I remember it hurting a lot more than a bee sting!

[@jeager1945]

I just caught one and put it with a big grass spider and it killed the grass spider in one little bite

[@jeager1945]

Scary right like out of a movie

[@warglow]

So....it doesnt prove anything. Its harmless to people if they dont have alergie. I had been bitten by bees couple of times, and also by wasps, but i still live. So..it depends. There are people who die because of eating a peanut.

[@_YellovvJacket_]

Well, being harmless to people doesn't mean that a bite isn't painfull. My Cupiennius salei male kills a grasshopper double it's weight so fast that the grasshopper doesn't even move a leg or feeler/ antenna anymore - it's like instantly dead with the bite, and still it's harmless; but I wouldn't want to get bitten by him.

[@haihoang1861]

What food can baby centipe eat

[@evanbennett8269]

Would a cat have any trouble devouring one of these? What about a border collie? (Just thinking about my backup plan in case it gets out ;P )

[@warglow]

I dont know, but i think cats and dogs tolerate that kind of poison. This is not cobra, its just an insect, and i havent heard about cats or dogs dying from insect bites. Although humans have died, i think pets have much more level of protection. Nevertheless i can assure you that cat would be not bitten, because of their reflexes. Though i dont know about dogs.

[@imamasian913]

Good video, but centipedes are not arachnids. They are arthropods.

[@themilkb0ne164]

Cesareo The Snake Keeper arachnids are arthropods...

[@cesaoreo]

But still do not belong to the same genus. He called the centipede an "arachnid" which does not belong to the genus "Arachnida." It belongs to the genus of "Scolopendra" AKA " Scolopendridae."

[@MattSinz]

You should replace the word arthropod with Myriapoda. otherwise it makes it seem like you're implying arachnids aren't arthropods, which they are.

[@mikejessmax]

Just what he said, God forbid if it ever gets out in your house. I had the same kind, same size and it got out in my house. Scariest 2 days I ever had until my wife found it in our bedroom.

No, I don't think that centipedes are merciless hunters. I think they are docile enough to handle. If you don't harm or stress it, it won't attack. One day, I dug up a abandoned ant nest and I accidentally caught a centipede with my hand while I was digging. Guess what, it didn't bite me at all. Yeah, it was a small centipede, but still!
