Kat.. as a longtime Centipede keeper my best guess would be overfeeding.. you need to know that Centipedes have a very simple & slow digestive system.. they can go a long time without food and being totally fine.. but as soon as you overfeed them their lifespan is dramatically shortened.. and this goes for absolutely every centipede, doesn't matter which one.. i had to learn it the hard way over the years as well.. best of luck to you with the new one
I feel sorry for it. It belongs in nature!
@@barbarabeesley7451 shut up
@@barbarabeesley7451 no it doesnt. these creatures do not know the difference between an enclosure and the outside world. if they did they would most certainly choose the enclosure over the harsh cruel world.
@@barbarabeesley7451 why are you watching an animal keepers videos if you're against keeping animals LMAO.
I can't speak for all tarantulas out there, but I have a Tillicoti albopilosum which will stalk her burrow when she is hungry, perhaps that holds true for centipedes too? though, they don't really 'burrow' the same way a tarantula would
I keep Scolopendra subspinapes (Vietmanese Giant Centipede) and I can tell you that your pedes are way too dry. I almost guarantee that the one was dying because of it. They cannot be allowed to dry out like that and there was no drinkable water in it's enclosure. I keep my pede so there is humidity built up on the sides of the enclosure as well. I hope you have had better luck with centipedes over the last year and in years to come. They really are delightful and super exciting to keep. I want to get a few more for sure. I think they are so cool and prehistoric looking. .
I like learning more about animals that scare me. More centipedes please!
Hi Kat, when i first kept Centipedes, i looked for as much info as possible.... and the best ( & pretty much the only decent book ) was/ is "Centipedes in Captivity" by Orin McMonigle. Well worth getting a copy.
Gorgeous! I'm terrified of mine. Still stunning creatures!
Why get something you're scared of? 😂 Not to sound mean or anything just a genuine question
lol, just got my first pet centipede, ive wanted one for years, I am absolutely fascinated by them, but that initially stemmed from fear, I have a little baby violet cameroon and I've been in a heightened state of anxiety thinking about it potentially escaping the enclosure later on 😂 I got it two days ago, is this something you get used to ?
@AntsCanada love your videos your the goat bro!!
i LOVE centipedes, possibly even more then tarantulas, more centipedes i see here the better. Have had 1 myself and thinking about getting more, but it rlly sucks that they’re so anti being handled
Honestly, putting your pup away for centipede time is a good move😂 When I was little, I sat on a giant blue Hawaiian centipede. Finding centipedes in your home in Hawaii is WILD. I remember it hurt! Better run from my flip flops! Also, I watched a video about the simply spiders tea, and saw your comment. So disappointing for this hobby!
I had forgotten all about them until I read your comment. I was visiting Kauai and found this rather large blue-black centipede moving across the carpet in my condo. It didn't occur to me that it could be venomous. I used a water glass as a catch cup and took it outside. Memory exaggerates but I would say it was about 6 inches long and about the diameter of a size 6/7 ring finger. The glass catch cup was not too big for it. Do the feral pigs and chickens eat these guys? Do the toads eat them?
@@annesmith708 There are mainly two different centipedes in Hawaii. Scolopendra subspinipes and Otostigmus scaber. The Scolopendra having the more potent venom and I would advise to handle with caution. It's nowhere near deadly or anything, but a bite is known to hurt quite a bit.
The 6 inches would be easily possible for a Scolopendra subspinipes, so you might remember correctly.
Chickens will happily eat centipedes, toads will most likely eat them, if they're not food sized for the centipede. A bit more of an even match up. Not sure about feral pigs, but most likely yes.
Bowser is a beautiful monster, I want to see him get big and strong 💛
You are brave! Cant say I ever wish to own a centipede! Best wishes on your “sick” centipede!
Wow, what a beautiful little scary creature! Lol Would love to learn more about them.
Kat: “Not many centipedes make me think ‘oh wow, that’s a beautiful centipede’”
The other two centipedes Kat owns: 🫠
"Hmph...fine, Kat...we'll just burrow our ugly faces deep into the dirt where you'll never have the displeasure of seeing us again!"
It reminds me of a time when I thought one of my millipedes was sick but was just going into moult. I am not positive that's what is happening for your animal.
Yes more centipede content!!!!! Also an update on the potential sick/old one please 🥰
Centipede one of the few creatures that I'm like "nope" Spiders range from, cute, adorable, cool, beautiful and badass looking. And Scorpions are also on the badass looking category. But centipede are on the creepy crawlers category. Still hope that first one is okay. And the Malaysian is a beautiful one. In pictures. I don't want one moving anywhere near me. OMG! It's so wiggly!
Same!
I figured out that what scares me about bugs is long legs. That's why I'm scared of spiders, but even more so centipedes...especially house centipedes eventhough I know those are some of the non-venomous ones.
With spiders, I like Kat's videos because I get to learn about spiders and watch them with it being absolutely impossible for them to get on me. So a video is perfect.
The centipedes, though, I can't even watch without getting chills. The long, undulating legs just do me in!
Which is why I don't mind milipedes so much and have no fear of snakes (other than a healthy respect for venomous ones, of course!).
I think that your centipede is acting weird because it is molting. Its posture makes me think it's molting, so maybe just leave it alone for a day or two and see what happens. Best of wishes!
That's what I was thinking initially, they tend to get a bit sluggish right before they molt. I would also suggest just leaving it alone for a while, being about to molt would also explain it being on the surface (cause you can't exactly crawl out of your old exoskeleton in a burrow).
it’s not molting unfortunately, it doesn’t have any of the pre-molt signs. even while in premolt they don’t act like that. it looks to be slowly passing away, probably due to old age since these are usually wild caught as adults so you never really know their age.
I think I'd be terrified to have to rehouse one of these
Kat. You need the rehouse this one right away. Your substrate appears to be soaking wet and flooded. That is why he will not burrow. This tropical species needs DRY soil that it can breath under when burrowed. Warm (80F) air temps and high humidity like 90%. The humidity must be achieved by misting and evaporation, not by wet soil. Your centipede appears to be soaking up to much water through his breathing holes which are on the sides of his body sections (like a roach). He will burrow instinctively but if the soil is wet, he can DROWN in it! Give him dry, loose substrate. You can put a heat strip under enclosure to compensate for low room temperature if needed. Recommend use of thermometer and hydrometer inside enclosure for this guy. Good luck!
Hey it was dry and I misted it because it might have been dehydrated. It was not soaking wet. It’s doing much better now so hopefully it just needed the water 😊
@@tarantulakat glad to hear it! It just looked really wet in that one camera shot.
Your hair is so cute 😍 the newest centipede is beautiful 🤩
Richard is gonna love this "Have you seem Kat's new GummyCentipede?"
The blue and orange pede totally looks like one of those rubbery fishing lures lol. Gorgeous animal but I can't handle how quick they are. Gives me the heebie jeebies.
WOW, that's the most stunning and gorgeous centipede I've ever seen. The colours are absolutely amazing.
I don't think I'd like to own a centipede but its really fun watching yours. They are beautiful.
Saw the most amazing turquoise legged centipede in Queensland, Australia one day, but it moved so fast that by the time I had my phone out it was gone. Scary fast but huge and so beautiful.
Kat, your hairstyle is cute. That new centipede is incredible looking. Maybe the bigger the centipede gets, the more you will get used to it’s movements, and it won’t be as scary?!? 🤷♀️ Still cool that you have it! 😊👍
Aw, I love your hair style! Super cute :) Man, you are brave! Centipedes kind of scare me because I feel like they are good at escaping. I enjoy looking at them though. Maybe if I watch more videos on them I will be comfortable with them some day.
Kat I've seen a few centipedes in my life time and have respect for them. The 2 beside the texas redhead I've seen a cherry red and the and one around China. Those are bigger than the ones you're raising right now. They're all beautiful and also dangerous when messed with. Yesterday while cook on my pellet grill I caught a southwestern trapdoor spider. It's also the biggest in the United States.
I just got a G. pulchra because of your videos!!! Thank you Kat!!!!! - Eagle555
Hey there 🙋🏽♀️ I just wanted to jump out of the bushes and say thank you! Your channel came up in my feed one day after browsing the web or venomous spider bites. I have a serious phobia when it comes to spiders, centipedes, snakes, you name it... Your videos have opened me up to a new world and changed the way I think when it comes to tarantulas. Now I see them as extremely unique and beautiful creatures. I'm actually thinking about getting one. So I wanted to ask, what is a good T to start with? I also have other channels that come up in my feed now that I really love. Thank you for all that you do!
What beautiful colours and keep us updated on the other 2 ...
I love my quite time at night when I get to sit for a few minutes and watch your videos 🥰
Your hair looks amazing. Centipedes are cool such a unique species
You have to hydrate them quite a bit they can die very easily by dehydration. That’s the rough part about keeping them especially with the fungus it’s unfortunately a catch 22 with them. I do know from my experience once they become adults there are certain species that simply don’t live very long. Tropical ones and desert ones are supposed to go longer with about 5-6 years but the local ones I’ve kept generally only go a year or two if your lucky because they’re from New England and usually die around November and December naturally. The house varieties can go from what I believe is the longest at a 7 years. It seems short to us but among arthropods centipedes live fairly longer lives than most so though it seems short if you’ve had them a couple years that’s fairly long to them. I saw overfeeding could’ve been an issue and that also depends on where you get them from in the wild. Tropicals eat the most as they are almost constantly surrounded by food, desert ones you should stretch out feeding to how often one would find food in that environment. The local New England ones I had needed to be fed once and even some said twice a day because they starve quickly. I would try and find out what each ones native countries are and try to adjust temps and feeding to match that surrounding and keep at least one area more moist. If it’s constantly staying in the moist zone that could very well indicate there’s not enough.
I’m not the most experienced keeper mind you I’m just giving you what I’ve learned personally and what I’ve been told from other keepers experiences.
Plenty of air flow good humidity 60-80% and keep these of the cool side. Around 20- 23c. These are a highland mountainous species
thanks! The info about them online is intimidating 😅
Know there must be house centipedes in the condo, but have never actually seen one. Of course yours are nice big and beautiful centipedes. Your poor centipede. Hope the poor thing gets better.
Hello kat, I am really love your centipede video and I hope you can make more video about them since there are not much youtube channel raise and talk about them. And I think the problem is that maybe you overfeed them because centipedes ( especially tropical centipede) don't have great digective system
This centipede is fascinating for sure👍
My red back jumper is thriving!! I'm so happy he's shown me his eating schedule lol. He's wild caught, so he doesn't realize mealworms or larva is food though.
He just looks at them all curious then goes "okay that was fun, where is my cricket"
I dunno how to add pics in comments :(
But his name is Skittle
@@ashleynine4512 ❤cute name
@Kathy in Wonderland L.A. lol thanks. Calling him Skittish didn't seem right. But he's doing great!! So yeah he prefers hunting every 5-6 days.
Loved this video Kat, you did an amazing job....they are Beautiful. Thx for always sharing!! ❤️
You need aeration for the turtle water, to keep the water fresh. Perhaps a small low powered filter without the foam that filter the water.
Centipedes are the most heavy metal album creatures out there, i love them so much. we dont get big ones where i live but the ones we do get keep pests in check so i make sure to never kill any that may get indoors for what ever reason.
I originally got a centipede, a beginner species ethmostigmus triganopodus (which finally died of old age this year) & I bought it as a bit of an impulse buy because they freaked me out a bit & within 6months I'd fallen in love with them so much I bought my scolopendra dehaani Thai red leg (Ms Thailand Flame Legs) who is over 8inches, maybe 9inches long & has some real girth now aswell! Iv got a scolopendra subspinipes (Red flame), Iv got a s.dehaani (Cherry red), an s.dehaani (Thai yellow leg) juvenile, an s.dehaani (Thai red leg) juvenile - I couldn't imagine life without them now. If you get them as juvenile pedelings & grow them up to adulthood you will be surprised how much more time they will start spending above ground. I love all my T's but I have to say the centipedes really have a special place in my heart now. I expect that sick one has probably passed on by now but I wish you luck with the other 2.
So cool. That Jewel centipede was the one I wanted the most back in the day when I was into them. Nobody had one though. So cool you got one!
Lmao the "okay. Now what." Is 10000% something I have said to myself when a bug movement scares me, but I still need to deal with it.
(I do not keep any insects so dealing with it means moving it outside generally... or losing sight of it in the house 😨)
one thing i would suggest is always know where your centipede's natural environment is and replicate that. some pedes don't do well with tons of humidity, but the Tropicals need like 80%, and at minimum 75 F. moss is always a really big help as you can wet it and mix it into the substrate which will keep the humidity up with out soaking the soil.
Unrelated to the content but I’m obsessed with your hair in this video.
The bin is completely damp inside, because no air comes through, there are no airholes??? Maybe that's why he died.
I have definitely warmed up to spiders due to your channel and catch and release when I find them in my house. However, I'm not sure about centipedes. I love that you take on inverts that even freak you out a bit.
I love centipedes 🖤
Wow those centipedes are awesome. And I cant wait for your next amazing video. 😊🕷❤️
Whooa!!! That snapper was hungry!!! Niccceee presentation 💥.
Wow, Bowser is getting big !!
I love the color of that jewel centipede.
Being in a desert area, I have a preference for the giant desert centipede. Their color is pretty cool too. Maybe you’ll get one? 🙂
I love my desert centipede. It's so pretty.
Aww that baby centipede is so adorable..I've been wanting to get a centipede but I've been doing a lot of research on them first it better that away because the more you can learn about them the better of a chance I will have on it living out it's life right...I feel so bad about yours that looks sick
You are braver than me that is one critter i could never get but the color is pretty
I’m HERE for all this centipede content🙌
Please do a tour of the enclosures in the back!!
Hey I'm from Malaysian and I love your video 😃❤️
A little bit coconut fiber would be great for Centis as well. !
Hope this first little guy get's better.. Sorry to say that, but this is not normal. Centipedes are pretty agile, rather bitchy to be honest. Scorpions and tarantulas are pretty shy actually. Most of them, still individuals.
"So I'm not sure this centipede is doing too well"
Kat, I've seen 90 years old terminal cancer patients in the hospital who looked ten times livelier than this little guy xD
Hey he perked up! Look at my Instagram lol
@@tarantulakat I stand corrected then !!
Kat! Chill! They might just be molting. They stop moving when they're in molt
Dayuummmm Centipedes?! TarantulaKat is 100 times braver than the 376 Police Officers in Uvalde Police Department on May 24, 2022/9:30am at Robb Elementary School.
thanks for bringing up a school shooting on a centipede video
my aracnophia is base just in their weird 8 leg structure, so techncally any other animal with many leg don't scare me at all, no even octuposes.
2:33, it could be in premolt possibly
Yeah, if Mr. TK isn't available, make sure the long hair is out of the way whenever using powertools. Too many cases where people wax their scalps, sometimes the skin goes with the hair too.
I like insects. I have always love observing and interacting with them. I have a pet spider. But centipedes? HELL NO. They creep me OUT. They keep their distance and I'll keep mine.
I have also seen a house centipede at night in malaysia. so im scared of the centipedes jumpscaring me on my futon.
Love the channel Kat! 🤘
Prettiest centipede I’ve ever seen!
Poor puppy didn't get to choose its roommates
Hey Kat, do you see any black spots on them? If you do then it’s mycosis, centipedes actually like it dry with moist area, even the tropical ones, I made that mistake with my cherry red and she developed mykosis, sadly it was too late for me to treat her…
How would you treat it ?
I don’t but I’ve been paranoid about that. It honestly seemed a little dry .. I think it just got old /:
@@tarantulakat yeah they usually live up to 10 years, it seemed like you were keeping them properly, they are very sensitive unfortunately :(
@@tarantulakat did the centipede pass?❤
@@tarantulakat would love a update in the future ❤❤❤❤
ah the centipede that almost BIT me in my Hometown😂😂. though it was relatively smaller. maybe a juvenile
my buddy has one. to re-house he slowly located it. then used a piece of glass to block off the rest of the enclosure. removed all the dirt from the other side. removed the glass. slowly spread out the dirt and located it again. he did this twice, then he put a plastic bin inside that had dirt in it with a big hole cut into one side. he used a brush to herd the centipede to the bin and it retreated into it hiding in the dirt. then my buddy placed the same sized plastic bin over the top of the other one which sealed the critter inside. he then transferred the bin. he put 2 crickets in the enclosure and watched the centipede leave the bin, eat the crickets. he then removed the bin.
Gottta tellya, I have nightmares about giant centipedes!
7:25 this is why one of my phlogius stents is called Schrödinger
Hey Kat,
Re: your recent video on animals you won't go out of your way for, did you get rid of your malaysian jewel or is there a chance of an update on the little fella? Recently got some super blue S. polymorphia's, and am looking at a heros as well. The NA species seem to be so much easier to care for in my very limited experience lol
Getting ready to get a 4 ledger babay
Totally awsome
I have not watched in SOOOO long!
Omg…bowser is hysterical😂that face
It was in the intro and I still jumped a little 😂😂
I still can't do Centipedes but I watched because I love you
Your hair is too cute. New centipede should be named Takeoff 🚀😁
thank god those are the small ones
OoooOoo centipedes!!!! So pretty!!
My centipede sketches me out way more than my tarantulas. It one of my favorite.
I'm not afraid of much. But centipedes give me major creepies. It was due to an incident where I was home alone and found a giant centipede crawling on my bedroom floor right before bedtime. When I tried to catch and release it outside it freaked out and was running around my bedroom like crazy. It then ran under my bed and I had to search for it. I was finally able to catch and release it but it was terrifying 😣😵💫😵
That's a very beautiful centipede! Did the purple one eventually pass away? It really wasn't looking good.
Great video
Beautiful and scary at the same time.
I was going to leave a comment in your last video about needing a Bowser Break!
Is it not possible that the cricket bit back before succumbing to the venom?
I have seen your newest video and you mentioned and saw its head was hung or stuck in a strange position so just 🤔
✌️🖤
Bowser is getting so big!
Came for the Scolopendra but stayed for the bowser
No kidding, the centipede looks like candy, then it moves and my heart starts beating faster.
If it provides any comfort, getting tagged on the finger by a Scolopendra is better than the arm or any other meatier part of the body due to the nature of their venom.
Beautiful creatures!!
I have a scolopendra dehanni right now
but I do want to get a Darwin or White leg centipede eventually
EXPENSIVE MEAL:.....
Bowser: YASSSSSS
So freakin cool 😍
