[QUOTE="MBullock, post: 229887, member: 33994"] The centipede is likely cryptops hortensis and is known to be in compost and soil bags. Cryptops is largely harmless and will mostly focus on small dwarf isopods, springtails and other pests commonly found in compost. THe max size is approx 6cm/2.5". They arent likely to attack your spiders, as they prefer to remain underground and seldom if ever venture to the surface. no worries. [/QUOTE]
