    They're more aggressive and people underestimate their speed so much that they can get loose and they'll cause serious damage to native wildlife because a lot of the Asian ones have some serious venomous bites. So native for beginner to get used to their speed and stuff so if it gets out it won't cause too much havoc. Plus you don't want like say a vietnamese centipede loose in your house. Asian ones are generally bigger as well. So factor all that in and you'll understand why.

    That definitely sounds creepy. I don't think I want a centipede at all now... lol

    I have kept some native centipedes and I just can't get into them. I never saw them. There are some really cool ones out there but just not my thing.

    Kat if you want a T, let me know and we can work out a great deal.

    Ok, I do think I want one. I'm gonna do some research and see what's best for me. I think I'd want one that's kinda big but still nice. :-) lol

    From what I've seen, that is definitely the case. :-)
