Pet Centipede
June 07, 2011 6:42 PM
        A few days ago I thought I saw a piece of string lying on the carpet in front of my washer and dryer, I kicked it to verify it wasn't anything alive, and much to my surprise it was very much alive! Of all the critters, I like centipedes the least, and living in TN I've been fortunate enough to say I've never seen a house-centipede since I moved here, but today I saw something new, a garden-centipede in my house!
        I ended up trapping it and decided to keep it as a pet. Even though I fear this little thing, there is something about it that I find incredibly fascinating.
        After a little research I found that it's very venomous. It bights its prey until they're paralyzed, then it eats them. To a human it's bight would resemble a bee sting. I have to keep the container moist and feed it large bugs twice a week. In the second picture you can see it destroyed a cicada (which are plentiful and easy to catch this year)

COMMENT: It`s vicious! See it severed the cicada`s head and made burrows in its abdomen and neck?
