Just some slightly moist substrate & somewhere dark, like some bark to hide under, some vertical bark to molt on &  that is about the only requirement they have. House Centipedes are not burrowers, so the substrate is for humidity only. So no need for any real depth of substrate. But vertical height, especially behind bark etc. Is good. An inch should do it for substrate & just keep it slightly moist.  Food wise treat them like a T & give them crickets etc.They are not UK native species, but they are occasionally found here, probably having arrived on imports. So temperature is not a big issue with them.</blockquote>
