:shock: Hey everybody,
I was wondering if anybody here has ever kept and maintained Scolopendra centipedes??? these are the closest thing to a hot snake in the invertebrate world - I once kept a collection of ten Vietnamese centipedes....they were crazy and dangerous. They probably will not kill you if you are bit but they are extremely venomous and the bite causes extreme pain and tissue damage. I was into them for about three years until I started to lose my nerve and I sold my collection and got into snakes. These Scolopendra centipedes ARE amazing and frightening animals...they are about a foot long and have huge prehensor fangs that articulate from side to side...they are something else. I cannot really say that I recommend them as they are very dangerous animals..but I DO have some scary stories about them... :wink:

I think as I am getting older I am getting more wussed out...I dont have the nerve for animals like this anymore...I just love my silly old Ball Pythons and that is good enough for me...hehehehe :lol:
