I bought one of these awesome little creatures knowing as much as I could find out about their care requirements.
I know they max out at around 6" BL, are hardier than most other Scolopendra species (in regards to humidity) and have a less painful bite than most or even the least painful of the Scolopendra's.
'She' is around 1.5" BL and I have had her since the beginning of October '17. I can't find much out about their moulting habits so my questions are:
What are the signs that she is in pre-moult?
How often are these guys supposed to moult on average?
Do they always hide away?
In reference to the last question, I NEVER see her. She just hides under her cork bark constantly, doesn't come out to hunt. She is a hardy eater though, I usually feed her daily because she will take anything I throw in there. On average I will feed her 3-5 small crickets and sometimes double that or even 10 once before and she will take them all, every time.
