Ew. Cool. Ew.
There are people out there who would shove this up their ass.
No thanks.
I’m imagining the noise it would make when it gets sucked up the vacuum hose.
I was bit by the Hawaiian centipede that looks similar to this guy and I would not recommend casually handling one.
That‘s gonna be a no from me, dog. Ancient, brainless, venomous, viscous predators are not meant to be handled.
on one hand, i want it as a pet.
on the other hand, i think it would eat my cat
Do they bite?
I was bitten by a juvenile scorpion once, it’s not lethal but enough to paralyze my foot for an hour
Jesus the pain was beyond
big dawg
Nope
I’m good thanks.
I’m good thanks.
This is 12 inches?
Not for me thanks.
Its a big no.
Scolopendra stirs.
Why….ARE ….. you…. HOLDING IT
There are not enough nopes in the world.
My brother or sister in Christ, please think about a content warning on this.
I don’t mind bugs but I can’t let it crawl on me like their either lmao
Gross
When he tells you he is 12inc, show him this
*decipede
The only good bug is a dead bug.

It’s really not recommended that you handle any centipede species, let alone venomous ones. A fall you even small drop can be lethal to them, and handling stresses them out unnecessarily. While a bite from S. gigantea wouldn’t be deadly, it certainly wouldn’t be a pleasant 24 hours at the minimum, and you never know if you are allergic until your throat is swelling up.
